The communications and multimedia minister says the proposed union will allow actors to advocate for their remuneration, healthcare and well-being.
Communications and multimedia minister Fahmi Fadzil said the ministry, in collaboration with Finas, was developing a standard agreement template to be used by film production companies.
“Therefore, I recommend that a union for actors be established to advocate for the interests related to their salaries, medical facilities, welfare and well-being in the Malaysian film industry,” he said in reply to points raised about his ministry during the debate on the 2024 supply bill in the Dewan Rakyat.
“The contracts that are signed are also subject to the Contracts Act 1950, in which, in the event of a dispute, the matter can be referred to the relevant authority.”
