00:00Out of the 10 things mentioned, there are some that can be done,
00:06some that need to be moved to the Act of Finance, the law,
00:11and some that may be a little challenging for us to implement,
00:17such as the penchain suggestion.
00:20In the current context, especially for those involved
00:27in the film industry,
00:30many of them work part-time,
00:36but when they have a job, they have a job.
00:38But when they don't have a job, it's easy for them to get an income.
00:46If we look at the golden era,
00:51such as Malaya Studios, KT, Jalan Ampas Studios,
00:57and System Studios at that time,
00:59it was possible for some things to be done entirely.
01:04But we know today, with the drastic and very basic changes,
01:11the way we watch, even if we call it a film,
01:14it's a bit anachronistic.
01:18No one shoots a film anymore.
01:20No one uses 35mm.
01:24Even today, if we want to say,
01:26the result of our work is sometimes not for viewing in cinemas,
01:31but it's also not watched on TV.
01:36In the middle of the country,
01:38the result of the work is only watched on mobile phones.
01:42This means that a lot of changes are happening in the entertainment world,
01:47in the film industry.
01:49Therefore, I have asked FINAS to investigate
01:53so that we can try to move to ACTA-FINAS
01:57so that it is more coherent with these drastic changes.
