Saifuddin: Govt will amend Finas Act, social media users can post videos without licence


PETALING JAYA: The Cabinet has decided that Malaysians do not need a licence to post their videos on social media, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.

This appears to be a complete U-turn from his explanations on July 23 when he informed Parliament that anyone who wants to post or publish their videos must have a National Film Development Corporation (Finas) licence.
