Malaysia is set to witness an extraordinary story celebrating courage beyond limits, an indomitable fighting spirit and national pride with the arrival of the highly anticipated film TERBANG, which will open in cinemas nationwide on 17 September 2026.
TERBANG is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Chiu Keng Guan, a storyteller renowned for creating films that unite Malaysians from all walks of life and inspire national pride through celebrated works such as OlaBola and The Journey.
The film’s official poster and trailer have also been unveiled. The poster features dynamic, high-energy visuals that reflect speed, intensity and the soaring spirit of Malaysia, while the official trailer offers audiences a thrilling first look at the action-packed story and emotionally charged journey that awaits.
Continuing his signature approach of bringing inspiring local stories to life, Chiu Keng Guan once again delivers a Malaysian narrative rooted in perseverance, humanity and national pride.
Inspired by the real-life journey of national rally legend Karamjit Singh, TERBANG tells the story of a Malaysian who dares to defy limits and push beyond boundaries in pursuit of glory for the nation on the international stage.
Astro Shaw Head Raja Jastina Raja Arshad said:
“TERBANG is a film that brings a Malaysian story to the world stage while embodying the local team spirit that dares to transcend boundaries. We are proud to present this film in cinemas nationwide on 17 September.
“The release date coincides with the Malaysia Day celebration, making it especially meaningful as it honours the values of unity, national pride and our shared identity as Malaysians.
“In the lead-up to the film’s release, we invite audiences to be part of TERBANG’s journey through the ‘Kita Terbang Sama-Sama’ theme alongside our strategic partners.
“Through this campaign, a wide range of initiatives will be rolled out across multiple platforms, including on-ground activations, radio collaborations, contests and engaging content experiences that will allow Malaysians to immerse themselves in the world of TERBANG.
“Our hope is that TERBANG becomes more than just a film. We hope it becomes a shared experience that brings Malaysians together and inspires pride in a story born from our own nation.”
Amy Gan, Vice President of Marketing at Etika, said:
“Our partnership with Astro Shaw has evolved beyond sponsorship into creating meaningful experiences for fans. As TERBANG heads to cinemas, we’re excited to bring audiences closer to the film through engaging activations that reflect the energy, courage and determination at the heart of both TERBANG and STING.

“Through the exclusive The Making Of content, audiences will gain an insider’s perspective on how next-generation technology is being leveraged to create a more immersive and enhanced cinematic experience.
“We hope this collaboration will not only provide fans with exclusive access to the creative process behind the film, but also offer a fresh perspective on how technology continues to transform and elevate the local creative industry.”
