KUALA LUMPUR (July 19): Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) will organise a pitching session for content providers in Sabah, to be held in Kota Kinabalu.
This assurance was given by RTM Director-General Datuk Suhaimi Sulaiman in response to a query by Chester Pang, President of the Sabah Film and Visual Association (SAFVA), during the RTM TV Programme Procurement Town Hall Phase 2 for 2025, held at the Seri Angkasa Auditorium, Angkasapuri, Kuala Lumpur.
Applications for participation in the TV Procurement Programme (Private) Phase 2/2025 are now open and will close on 13 August 2025. Further information is available via the e-TVCMS platform.
Earlier, Chester who is also the director of the film MANTERA, received his membership card from the President of the Malaysian Directors' Association (FDAM), Dato' Hj Afdlin Shauki.
Chester said his involvement with FDAM aims to strengthen the filmmaking network in Sabah by facilitating the sharing of knowledge and experience from national-level directors to boost directing skills in the state.
Several collaborative programmes involving SAFVA and FDAM are also planned to be implemented in Sabah in the near future.
Also present were Jade Morris, SAFVA Secretary-General, and Exco member Gregory Giting.
