After a year of multiple closures of cinema halls since the first movement control order was enforced on March 18, 2020, moviegoers in Malaysia are slowly but surely returning to watch films on the big screen once again.

Malaysian Association of Film Exhibitors (MAFE) stated people are more confident and comfortable about going back to the cinemas now as they are used to the new norm of adhering to SOP that have been put in place since the pandemic started last year, such as wearing mask, using sanisiters, keeping a physical distance and checking-in with MySejahtera app.
