Covid-19: 'Help us too', live events industry tells government amid cancellations


K-pop band Super Junior postponed its March 1 concert in Malaysia to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The government will announce an economic stimulus package on Feb 27 in an effort to help businesses suffering from losses due to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak.

R. Para, the president of Arts, Live, International Festivals and Events Association (Alife) – a non-profit organisation representing companies managing, presenting and promoting live events in Malaysia – welcomes the move and hopes the live events industry will not be left out in the economic stimulus package.
