All filming requires a licence from the National Film Development Corporation (Finas) even for personal social media, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.

Asked how this would affect people who use social media platforms, he said that all content creation is subject to regulations.

"It is mandatory for film producers to apply for a film production licence and filming certification letter, regardless of whether they are mainstream media or personal media that publish their film on social media or traditional channels," he told the Dewan Rakyat today.
