All filming requires Finas licence, even for personal social media - minister

Malaysiakini

All filming requires a licence from the National Film Development Corporation (Finas), even for personal social media, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.
Asked about how this would affect people who use social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, he said that all content creation is subject to regulations.
"It is mandatory (wajib) for film producers to apply for a film production licence and filming certification letter, regardless of whether they are mainstream media or personal media that publishes their film on social media or traditional channels," Saifuddin told the Dewan Rakyat today.
The Finas Act defines films as any recordings on any material, including feature films, short films, short subject films, trailers, documentaries and advertising filmlets.
