No licence needed for social media videos after all


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

This is a departure from his explanation on June 23, when he informed Parliament that anyone who wants to post or publish videos must have a National Film Development Corporation (Finas) licence.
