Finas hub in Sabah will help hone local creative talent, said Masidi

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Tourism, Culture, and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said the setting up of a Finas Content Creation Hub here will provide an excellent avenue for local artists to hone their talents. Masidi said the state had many talented artistes and such a creative hub would help improve their skills. “With regards to our current local film productions, there is room for improvement. “Hopefully with Finas’ presence in Kota Kinabalu, it would help address this.” The setting up of Finas Creation Hub was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak during the Budget presentation. It will be built in addition with the implementation of a Film in Malaysia Incentive, Arts and Culture Revitalisation Agenda to rejuvenate creative industry and film production.
