The film industry is expected to come around in six months with funds of the Pelan Langkah Segera Ekonomi Industri Kreatif after being badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.
"It is our hope to see the industry rise up again during this six-month period, to get productions completed and aired, or to enable the crew to enjoy their allowance when shooting kicks off, ” he told reporters after launching Pelaksana in Kuala Lumpur, last week . "Also, when many productions are completed, the products must be aired. Hence, there is a need to cooperate with television companies under this plan, ” he said.
"That is why the plan was drafted to enable the crew, particularly the freelancers and those on a piecemeal basis, to survive, ” he said.
