: The National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia and the Social Security Organisation are set to collaborate on providing welfare to creative industry practitioners.
“I am pleased to announce that in April, Socso and Finas will sign an MoU to ensure that social security aspects can be implemented in several matters involving Finas to ensure the social security of artistes and those involved in filming activities,“ he said, adding that this was a positive step forward.
“We have noted that the nature of the work is part-time for those involved in creative fields such as filming, acting, or those working behind the scenes. So several things are being studied. Commenting on the proposal by some producers for artistes with behavioral and moral issues to be disciplined by being banned from appearing on television, Fahmi said they could do so, but in the government's view, such action was not so suitable in the current situation.
