My Performing Arts Agency (MYPAA),
15 June 2016, Malaysia

The economic climate of the world has been undoubtedly temperamental and this has resulted in many public and private organisations reducing their funding programmes that support the arts, thus affecting many artistes and arts organisations in Malaysia who may see their futures hanging in the balance. Amid the uncertainties, My Performing Arts Agency (MyPAA), one of the leading cultural and creative industry partners in Malaysia, is no exception to this predicament but as the adage goes, “the show must go on!”

The press conference, held at the Auditorium of FINAS’ Content Pitching Centre Malaysia, was attended by Encik Mohamad Razy Mohamad Nor, Deputy Director General of the National Department for Culture and Arts – Policy and Planning (JKKN), Joe Sidek, Festival Director of George Town Festival (GTF), Izan Satrina Mohd Sallehuddin, Founder and Director of MyPAA, and Brian Johnson Lowe, Co-Founder and Director of MyPAA. Today’s press conference announced a series of strategic platforms that aims to strengthen and contribute in building a conducive arts ecosystem for the country, in addition to positioning Malaysia as an emerging and serious arts player.
