A days-old petition calling for the heads of National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) to be dismissed has gained over 3,000 signatures at the time of writing.
The change.org petition was launched on Friday (February 5) by an anonymous group of Malaysian creative and film industry players who call themselves Art Revolt. It demands the country’s Ministry of Communications and Multimedia remove Finas CEO Ahmad Idham bin Ahmad Nadzri and Chairman Zakaria Abdul Hamid from the government agency.
