KUALA LUMPUR: The newly-launched Media City Complex at Angkasapuri heralds greater advancements in the national broadcasting industry for the digital era, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic).
The caretaker Prime Minister said the complex would be a symbol of strategic cooperation between the public and private sector.
"It may also give (rise) to the creation of a new National Broadcasting Policy based on two important matters, namely inclusivity and Keluarga Malaysia," he said in his speech at the launch of the complex here on Wednesday (Oct 26).
The development of Media City is a strategic move by the government to provide a conducive medium and ecosystem to stimulate the broadcasting sector, he added.
"I hope, with this building, follow-up steps can be taken so that Malaysian broadcasting standards are comparable to standards in the Asean region and internationally," he said.
He also noted that the effort was part of coordinated development to be consistent with the Greater Kuala Lumpur Masterplan.
It is also complemented by the planning and construction of new highways and other projects in Lembah Pantai, as part of the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2040 agenda.
