Malaysian film distributors, theatre owners urge govt to reopen cinemas
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — Malaysian film distributors and theatre owners have requested the government to consider reopening movie theatres across the country for individuals who have completed their Covid-19 vaccination.
“Theatres should be open with strict standard operating procedures for those fully vaccinated individuals especially for their mental well-being,” he told Bernama. Sai noted that since the enforcement of the movement control order last year, the company had recorded RM15 million in losses. He said the restrictions being lifted were the ban on dine-ins, inter-district travel, sports and recreational activities without physical contact as well as tourism activities within the same state involving homestays and hotels, among others.
