KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 – The government has given the\u00a0green light for the filming industry to resume its activities after Hari Raya Aidilfitri, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk\u00a0Saifuddin Abdullah.<\/p>\n

He said the approval was given during the\u00a0National Security Council meeting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“Last week, after consultation with various associations, we presented to the ministers’\u00a0meeting on\u00a0 COVID-19 where almost half of the Cabinet members were in the meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“We presented the application to allow filmmakers either to shoot drama, documentary or advertisement to be allowed to do their shootings.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo now, they are allowed to do their shootings with a strict\u00a0standard operating procedure (SOP), beginning\u00a0after Hari Raya,\u201d he said during\u00a0the\u00a0Harith Iskander Stay Home Live Facebook Episode entitled ‘The Future of Live Entertainment\u2019 Post-Conditional\u00a0Movement Control Order (CMCO) last night.<\/p>\n

It was reported that the\u00a0government will examine in detail the proposed SOP for the advertising film industry before reaching a decision as it\u00a0was submitted by the Communications and Multimedia Ministry at a special ministerial committee meeting on the Movement Control Order (MCO) last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was quoted as saying that there are usually cases where there is no social distancing during the filming process.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, touching on the approval or clearance to perform a live programme, Saifuddin said this matter is still under discussion and waiting for approval from the NSC committee meeting.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the industry players were asking for guidance and permission from the authority before they can resume their live performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cFor now they (the committee) are saying\u00a0they need to do assessment for a bigger number of people, in a hall, or places where people meet to watch movie or show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not got the decision but we have made our case that at least as soon as possible we need to have an indication on when the live event will be allowed. At least they need three months of preparation after\u00a0the clearance. We have made the representation and now we must wait for the committee to make their decision,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Saifuddin also said he will meet the industry players including Harith Iskander at his office on\u00a0Thursday to have a better understanding of the live programme operation and its production.<\/p>\n
