Creative industry to be given focus in proposed amendments to Finas Act, says Ahmad Idham | Malay Mail

Finas chief executive officer Ahmad Idham Ahmad Nadzri said it would be discussed in a comprehensive manner for the benefit of every creative industry player and to bring about changes reflecting the spirit of Finas. Ahmad Idham said that efforts to improve the law have been part of the main agenda of Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah since helming the ministry.

“It is the norm as technology changes and when technology advances we can’t continue to amend there and then but have to look at its suitability,” he added. Yesterday, certain sections of reports on Saifuddin’s response in the Dewan Rakyat regarding the need for the Film Production Licence and Filming Authentication Certificate for filming had given an inaccurate picture which led to various reactions and polemics.

“This act was enacted in 1981, long before the emergence of social media platforms. Obviously, the definition of ‘film’ needs to be revised,” he said.
