Artistes upbeat over higher tax relief for sponsors

THE higher tax relief for art sponsorship, from RM500,000 to RM700,000, will encourage the private sector to take note of the arts community here, said The Actors Studio Malaysia co-founder Datuk Faridah Merican.

“We are always short of funds. Without money, we can’t do good theatre,” she said, adding that the move was good news for the industry.
