KUALA LUMPUR – Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa issued a gentle reminder to artistes yet to get vaccinated against Covid-19 to do so to enable them to resume work.
He said getting vaccinated was part of protecting themselves from Covid-19 and reducing transmission of the virus to others.
“We have to live with Covid-19 and cannot let the virus stop us from filming or taking part in stage or singing shows.
“We can now get back to our normal lives due to the government’s efforts, but if we refuse (to take the Covid-19 vaccine), we will have to bear the risk,” he said.
He said this when launching the Malaysian National Film Development Corporation’s (Finas) Malaysian Family Contribution Presentation Ceremony here yesterday.
Annuar presented donations to 45 veteran artistes at the programme.
Present were Finas chairman Zakaria Abdul Hamid, chief executive officer Prof Md Nasir Ibrahim and Communications and Multimedia Ministry Deputy Secretary-General (Strategic Communications and Creative Industry) Mastura Ahmad Mustafa. – Bernama, November 12, 2021
