We are pleased to inform members that the under the Government’s Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), the creative industry has been identified as one of the key growth drivers of the country’s GDP. Amongst others, is to encourage local talents to create more quality music that can be exported overseas.

A budget has been approved under DIKN for 2012-2013 for execution of the following programmes :-

1. MTV Matching Grant Application Form Guidelines
2. Overseas Tour Support Application form Guidelines

We believe the above financial assistance is a timely boost for the development our local music industry. A committee to oversee these programmes has been set up under the coordination of the Ministry of Information, Communication & Culture with the assistance of RIM.

Please pass this information to your friends who may be interested to apply for these financial support. Should you have any queries, do contact the DIKN Working Committee Coordinator, Puan Marina Abu Bakar/Puan Nur Ashikin at muzik@kpkk.gov.my or Tel : 03-8911 5000 or Fax : 03-89115203.
