Arts community in a bind over restrictions


KUALA LUMPUR: With just five hours left before the new movement control order (MCO) came into effect on Jan 13, the staff at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac) scrambled to finish filming a dance show.

The recordings were originally slated for this week, but a directive by National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) prohibited filming during the MCO period (Jan 13-26).
