AS live entertainment continues to be disallowed, it will not bode well for local entertainers and the music industry, Freddie Fernandez said as Malaysia prepares to transition to the endemic stage on April 1.

The Karyawan president said that since the onset of the pandemic, players in the music industry have been facing many challenges.

Fernandez said about 3,000 musicians and entertainers are affected and if they were to include sound engineers, artists, music crews and DJs then the figures could reach up to 5,000. – March 28, 2022.
