THE MADANI government remains committed to bolstering the local creative industry and supporting artistes in producing high-quality and impactful works, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has said.
This pledge was reiterated during a meeting between the Prime Minister and legendary artiste Datuk M Nasir at his office in Putrajaya yesterday.
"Yesterday, I received a visit from renowned artiste Datuk M Nasir in Putrajaya. During the meeting, we discussed the creative industry, and local arts and culture," Anwar wrote in a post on Facebook.
He also expressed encouragement for M Nasir to continue his creative contributions to the national music scene.
M Nasir, whose full name is Mohd Nasir Mohamed, 67, is widely respected for his intellectual and spiritually themed works. He is considered one of the most influential figures in shaping the landscape of Malaysian music and the broader creative arts.
Beyond his role as a singer and composer, M Nasir is also known for his work as an actor, lyricist and art director, and has played a significant part in defining Malaysia's cultural identity through the arts. - May 3, 2025
