The Indera Mahkota MP said it is compulsory for producers of these films to apply for a Film Production Licence and Film Shooting Certificate (SSP) regardless if they are from a mainstream media outlet or personal media. Wong had asked Saifuddin to state if all those who film will be compelled to apply for a Production Licence and SSP. Fahmi pointed out that in order to acquire a Finas licence, an applicant will require a paid-up capital of RM50,000. “For MPs who always do Facebook live, are we now compelled to have a Finas licence?” he asked. In response to Saifuddin’s earlier remarks, MCA too called for a rethink of the licence requirement to post videos on social media platforms.
