In a press release shared on Oct 29, the Persatuan Karyawan Malaysia (Karyawan) hopes that the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs of Malaysia would reconsider its decision to dissolve and dismantle Music Rights Malaysia Berhad (MRM), the body responsible for collecting royalties for public performance of music.
