PETALING JAYA: The government is firming up plans to unveil initiatives to assist the arts and creative sector in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, says the Communications and Multimedia Ministry.
Its Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said in a recent statement that efforts were being taken to ensure the welfare of practitioners amid the conditional movement control order .
Saifuddin said input from this discussion would be submitted to the Finance Ministry for consideration to be part of the Economic Revival Plan that was expected to be announced by the Prime Minister in the near future. "The agencies also need to list down other aid that could be extended using existing allocations but which need further action in terms of approval from the Finance Ministry.
"In relation to this, I welcome and appreciate the commitment from Motac, which has agreed to collaborate with the Communications and Multimedia Ministry to spearhead efforts to help the creative industry resume operations," he said.
