KUALA LUMPUR: The National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia (FINAS) is enhancing social protections for local artistes through a partnership with the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) and the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO). The collaboration is supported by the Federation of Malaysian Film Associations (GAFEMA) to ensure better welfare for industry professionals. FINAS chief executive officer Datuk Azmir Saifuddin Mutalib said the initiative enables artistes to enrol in PERKESO's Self-Employment Social Security Scheme (SKSPS) and EPF's voluntary i-Saraan scheme. He added that 200 veteran artistes have already been approved for benefits under the PERKESO SKSPS scheme. FINAS has also sponsored the opening of 1,000 i-Saraan accounts, with priority given to unregistered artistes until September 2025. Azmir stated that FINAS is exploring special incentives or dedicated funds for veteran artistes to sustain their contributions to the industry. Future amendments to the FINAS Act will focus on production workers' welfare, including insurance and mandatory contributions through filming licences. PERKESO data shows a significant rise in registered artistes, from 690 in 2020 to 9,000 in 2024.

Johor Plantations net profit jumps 51pc to RM150.64m in 1H 2025 on higher prices, crop buys
JOHOR BAHRU, Aug 15 — Johor Plantations Group Bhd (JPG) has recorded a 51 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) rise in net profit to RM150.64 million for the first half of 2025 (1H 2025), driven by higher selling prices and a surge in external crop purchases. In a statement today, JPG said revenue rose 12.6 per cent to RM738.72 million from a year earlier, despite lower production volume. Growth was attributed to disciplined upstream operations and expanded sourcing. The board declared a second interim dividend of 1.25 sen per share for the quarter, equivalent to an earnings per share (EPS) of 3.01 sen, which translates into a total dividend payout of RM31.25 million. For the 2Q FY2025, revenue rose 10.4 per cent to RM398.29 million while net profit surged 50 per cent to RM75.37 million. Revenue from crude palm oil (CPO) rose by 4.8 per cent from a year ago to RM323.39 million and palm kernel revenue jumped 46.1 per cent to RM73.07 million, supported by higher delivery volumes and external crop purchases. JPG managing director Mohd Faris Adli Shukery said the company's strong performance was driven by disciplined upstream efforts and continued progress in expanding external crop sourcing. 'Our focus remains on optimising price realisation, sustaining production growth, exercising rigorous cost control, increasing processing volume and advancing our downstream expansion,' he said. The group expects seasonal production growth and remains optimistic navigating market dynamics in 2H 2025. In a separate statement, JPG said chief financial officer Aziah Ahmad will retire effective Sept 1 2025 and will be succeeded by Zain Azrai Zainal Abidin. Aziah has been a vital member of the Kulim (Malaysia) Bhd and Johor Corporation (JCorp) group since 2014. Zain joined JPG in June 2025 as Deputy CFO and has been working closely with Aziah to ensure a seamless transition, the statement added. — Bernama
