The National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) expressed hope that the National Security Council (MKN) would consider allowing filming activities to be conducted during the Movement Control Order (MCO) to ensure that the creative industry economy is unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Finas chairman Zakaria Abdul Hamid said it is hoped that the council would at least allow indoor and studio shoots for dramas, telefilms, livestreaming, documentaries and sitcoms without audiences.
