CYBERJAYA, April 17 — The Ministry of Communications and Digital is ready to study the need to set a special mandatory quota for local television companies to broadcast local animations on their respective channels.“This is a matter I support, I feel there is a need for us to look at digital content produced in the country, not just for us to generate or publish but for us to broadcast and exhibit.
Almost 400 participants joined the more than two-hour town hall session, organised by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation , and it was also attended by Deputy Communications and Digital Minister Teo Nie Ching, MDEC chairman Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh and MDEC chief executive officer Mahadhir Aziz.
At the same time, Fahmi said the government would also hold further talks with the relevant parties following complaints by local animation companies claiming that television stations refused to buy their works due to the high price.
