00:00The Prime Minister has approved the transition to Altafinas.
00:13This is an arrangement for the announcement that I made yesterday.
00:17This is related to some of the changes that we are witnessing in the film industry.
00:24After this, Altafinas will continue the process of negotiating with various parties,
00:30in addition to trying to pass the law.
00:35It is hoped that when it is passed and brought to the parliament,
00:40either in the June meeting or later this year,
00:46we will be able to compile the document and it will be more consistent with the time
00:53so that the audience will not only be able to go to the cinema
01:00but will also be able to watch the film in their territories.
01:06What amendments will be considered in the Finas Act?
01:09Will this include censorship to online streaming platforms?
01:12No. Altafinas is more of a film production process.
01:24And to be honest, the term film itself is anachronistic.
01:30There is no film producer today who records or produces images using 35mm film.
01:39There is no film celluloid.
01:42So, the aspects of bringing the document into the era
01:49where the film production process has changed drastically,
01:54that is one of the things.
01:57It is also to satisfy several aspects of management for Finas
02:04since the films of Malaysia were combined with Finas a while ago.
02:13So, the aspects of human resources need to be satisfied in the act of Finas itself.
02:19In addition to providing several functions specific to Finas,
02:24such as the issue of archiving of film material,
02:32it does not touch on the aspects of the film production.
02:37So, it is not under the Act of Finas.
02:39I would like to invite you to study the Act.
02:41Sorry, one more aspect is not related to the Act
02:45but is related to the rules that will be implemented along with the Act
02:51which is the aspect of goodwill for those involved in the film production process,
03:00the cast and crew, to make sure that their welfare is looked after.
03:03Before this, there was no good welfare?
03:07It was open. It was too open.
03:10So, what the government, especially the Ministry of Communication, did
03:15in the past two years,
03:17we have given a lot of focus to the aspects of social security
03:21for those involved in the media sector
03:24by helping part-timers or stringers to get compensation
03:31and we also do the same for those involved in the film industry
03:37because both sectors have what we call part-time all the time.
03:43Stringers and also cast and crew who usually work from project to project.
03:49So, we focus more on the welfare aspect.
