Sabah urged to ride the concert wave with RM10mil federal boost


SANDAKAN: For years, Sabah’s music scene has watched the concert wave break over the peninsula — but a new RM10mil federal incentive may finally send that wave east.

The Concert and Event Incentive Malaysia (CEMI), introduced under Budget 2025 and managed by MyCreative Ventures (MyCV), is offering rebates of up to 30% for organisers of large-scale concerts and music events. The programme aims to boost the presence of East Malaysian organisers in the country’s booming entertainment economy.
