‘Tax exemption will spur KL’s entertainment scene’

Afdlin is confident KL will see a surge of entertainment activities by local artistes.

THE recent government announcement on exempting local live acts in Kuala Lumpur from entertainment tax has generated optimism among artistes, said Kuala Lumpur advisory board member Datuk Afdlin Shauki Aksan.

Afdlin, a professional comedian, was appointed as board member last July to advise Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Kamarulzaman Mat Salleh on matters related to the city’s entertainment sector.
