KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — Members of a film production crew or even its star-studded line-up and ensemble cast having to clock in up to 13 hours of working — sometimes without extra pay — is not an alien issue in Malaysia.that it is a long-standing problem that has plagued the local filming industry.
“When I was shooting for a local film in Australia, are only for eight hours and it’s considered overtime for the Australian crew if it’s after eight hours.“If they were working for more than eight hours, they would get double or triple pay but not here.” “Sometimes it’s just rice with a piece of chicken and two carrots. How was the crew supposed to work with a meal like that?“It’s a difficult situation and yes, some producers would say they are working within the limits of their budgets and there’s nothing they can do but I really have to say that you could do better.
She added that the situation is a lot worse for production crew who had to do most of the heavy lifting and can’t really speak up on their situation in fear of being replaced.
