KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 — The \u2018Ziarah Finas Prihatin\u2019 Programme continues to run although the country is now under the Conditional Movement Control Order (MCO) or Recovery MCO, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the programme, organised by the National Film Development Corporation\u00a0Malaysia (Finas), was being held without publicity,\u00a0in compliance with\u00a0the standard operating procedures (SOP) and with police permission to visit the targeted individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ziarah<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActually, this program is being held all the time and I was the only one who joins them once in a while. The chairman (Zakaria Abdul Hamid),\u00a0CEO (chief executive officer\u00a0Ahmad Idham Ahmad Nadzri), and board members are usually\u00a0present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to visit the veteran artists but we don\u2019t go in a large group, only one or two people. What is important, if someone is ill or died, we will come and visit,\u201d he said during the Ziarah Finas Prihatin 3.0 programme here, today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifuddin said the programme was part of Finas\u2019 efforts to recognise veteran artists who have contributed a lot to the creative industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHopefully, this visit will ease their burden and motivate the young film industry players that we (the government) really want to develop the industry to be better and systematic for future success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Saifuddin visited veteran actors Datin Normala Omar and A. Galak, whose real name is Zakaria Ahmad, before visiting veteran singer Aspalela Abdullah at their homes around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
