: The Communications and Multimedia Ministry plans to create specific legislation which will be responsible for and protect the national music industry, said its minister Datuk Saifuddin AbdullahHe said that the music industry currently did not have any specific legislation or organisation compared to the film industry, which has the Malaysian National Film Development Corporation Act 1981.

“Among the main issues will be copyright, with many composers grumbling although we already have legislations, like the Copyright Act 1987. This matter must be further refined,” he said. In another development, Saifuddin said KKMM was also looking into how it could help empower the local nasyid industry, which enjoyed its heyday back in the 90s.
