Cinema operators appeal for reopening


PETALING JAYA: Cinema operators are calling on the government to allow them to resume operations as non-essential sectors such as gyms, casinos and recreational fishing centres have been allowed to reopen during the current movement control order period.

The Malaysian Association of Film Exhibitors (MAFE) said the closure of cinemas due to the MCO had crippled the industry as they had lost 90% of year-on-year revenue, with more than RM500mil in losses in 2020 alone.
