Appeal for a single collecting agency for music copyright royalties

FURTHER to the sudden and unilateral winding up of Music Rights Malaysia (MRM) on April 30,2020 due to internal problems, we would like to put on record that we have appealed and written numerous times since June last year to both the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry and Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) to urgently establish a succeeding single collecting agency for music copyright royalties.

A single entity is the only rational, efficient and practical solution for us, the users of the end product of such works.
