The success of films and productions that receive incentive funds from the government proves that the policies and programmes implemented by the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM) are spot-on and can help the local film producers.

National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) chief executive officer, Prof Dr Md Nasir Ibrahim said the film, Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan, produced by Studio Kembara Sdn Bhd which had collected RM43.9mil in ticket sales in 12 days was one of the recipients of support and encouragement from the government.
