The creative industry in the state would require shrewd and daring
investors to turn Sabah into a one-stop centre for movie and documentary
productions.

Assistant Minister of Resource Development and
Information Technology Datuk Jainab Ahmad Ayid, said there would be
thousands of employment opportunities created for the locals if the
creative industry were to become an income earner for the state.
“Previously
we used to see foreign production companies making Sabah their shooting
location for their movies and documentaries, and national producers and
directors have begun to follow suit. There are undoubtedly
problems faced by the production houses. They have to spend huge sums of
money to transport their equipment only because no one in Sabah has
them,” she said, adding that the State being endowed with naturally
scenic spots, has innumerable potentials to offer to the industry.
She issued a challenge to investors to provide the necessary infrastructure support for the creative industry to gain a foothold in the State.
“I
challenge the local investors to provide equipment for the creative
industry in Sabah because we are more than capable than just being
treated as a shooting location by those production houses,” she said at a
passing out ceremony for 24 trainees of Puri Ratu Beauty academy
yesterday.
Ya, the creative industry in Sabah is certainly lacking, the government should give boost to the creativity industry and encourage local artist and investors to get more involved.

DeleteSabah have lots of potential to for shooting because of the beautiful scenery, only if the necessary infrastructure support are more complete, then more foreign production teams will come to Sabah.
