If there’s a silver lining to Saifuddin Abdullah’s #FINASFUBAR it’s the general public’s realization that the FINAS Act is as relevant to the 21st century as a 56K dialup modem is relevant to today's Internet experience.

The act was enacted and gazetted in 1981. For those of you not born yet then, in 1981 there was no Astro and all you had was RTM TV1 & TV2 to entertain you on television.

The act was drafted to facilitate the development of Malaysia’s film industry (let’s not go there)

It defines “film” to include "feature films, short films, short subject films, trailers, documentaries, advertising filmlets and any recording on material of any kind…”
