Puspal to submit improvements on foreign artistes' concert approval guidelines

 

The central committee for the application for filming and performance by foreign artists (Puspal) has been asked to provide a list of improvements to regulations governing the approval of performances by foreign artists.

Puspal will submit the proposals to Communications and Digital Ministry next week, its minister, Fahmi Fadzil said.

The list was needed as a preventive measure to avoid a recurrence of disrespectful actions such as those committed by British band The 1975 during their performance at Festival Good Vibes 2023 in Sepang, yesterday.

Fahmi told reporters after a Madani community event in Kuala Lumpur today.

The minister added that he had met with Puspal in June and was told that they did not receive any application for the participation of The 1975 in the festival.

“The organisers did appeal and attached a letter of undertaking stating that they would be fully responsible for the band’s concert,” he said.
