Malaysian content creators fear for future of creative industry after minister’s Finas licensing requirement

The former nurse and ex-journalist who has also had a turn as a social media manager said the communications and multimedia minister’s statement about the Finas licence requirement has a rippling effect on society and the country’s economy. Goh indicated that he plans to carry on with producing content for the time being pending a clear explanation of the policy and instruction from the authorities.

Kang, who runs his own company Imagineers Film, said Finas is aimed at uplifting, nurturing and facilitating the Malaysian film industry, but added that the recent announcement only serves to rock the fledgling industry. Like Goh, Kang said the small, independent players who aspire to make a name for themselves would have their ambitions nipped in the bud if the law was strictly enforced, pointing out the clause on a seven-day prior notification to Finas before filming.

Arwind said Malaysians today create all sorts of content for entertainment. — Picture courtesy of Arwind Kumar Chandramoganvlog series fame, wondered if the government will act against students who are assigned to create videos as part of their curriculum should they flout Finas regulation to get a licence.“And to now suppress this freedom of expression is insensible. This is toxic suppression in my point of view,” he said.
