Malaysia - Not an Entertainment Hub Just Yet

With Visit Malaysia 2020 just around the corner, one hope is that the country will start having more live concerts and events in order to build our reputation as a centre of entertainment in the region.

Today on the Breakfast Grille we speak to Ben Law, Founder of Future Sound Asia and Iqbal Ameer, Group CEO of the Livescape Group, about the challenges facing the entertainment and events industry.
