Today we look behind two stories that were covered in The Edge: "Future Proofing Astro" with its in depth interview with Astro Group CEO Rohana Rozhan, and "Genting's new SkyCasino opens its doors" which gives you a peak into the new casino on the hill. We ask Joyce how Rohana frames the challenges facing Astro, pointing in particular to the problem of piracy, as well as who is flocking to the new casino.
