Zakaria said he is committed to bringing the industry to a higher level with the help of industry players and driving it towards a recovery phase through policy enhancement, encouragement, services and marketability in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. "We are confident that we will be able to lay a strong foundation for this industry to go international, ” he said at a media conference here today.
"We will also establish a foundation to help them; it’s difficult to get government funding so we should have our own foundation. If anything happens to the people in the industry, we can help them directly,” said Zakaria.
