Ministry to ensure private TV stations air 70% local ads

KUALA LUMPUR: Private television stations in the country are airing about 40% foreign commercials during prime time, which is against the Made-in-Malaysia (MiM) ruling. 

Information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin said he was worried about the current trend, which had brought down advertising production value from RM200mil in 2000 to RM19mil last year.
