SINGAPORE — Those who can’t get enough of hunky actor Aaron Aziz should tune in to MediaCorp TV Suria more often.

The star, who can currently be seen in cinemas in KL Gangster 2, the prequel to highest-grossing Malaysian film of all time, KL Gangster (2011), will be popping up a couple of times on the goggle box in the months to come.

We don’t want to spoil it for you, but in a nutshell, there will be toe-curlingly over-the-top melodramas, fast-paced variety shows that will leave you breathless — with laughter, hopefully — and, oh, quite a lot of Aaron Aziz.

And besides serving as entertainment, television also remembers the less fortunate — and helps us do our part in looking out for them, too.

Plus, did we mention Aaron Aziz?
