Filem Pulau catat sejarah di Kemboja

FILEM Pulau mencipta sejarah tersendiri apabila menjadi filem seram Malaysia nombor satu di Kemboja apabila berjaya meraih kutipan lebih RM700,000 sejak ditayangkan di negara itu pada 22 Jun lalu.

WebTVAsia, syarikat terkemuka dalam ekonomi pencipta Asia dan studio kandungan premium dengan kerjasama Westec Media iaitu pengedar filem terbesar di Kemboja mengumumkan filem tersebut juga memegang rekod untuk pembukaan paling besar pada hari pertama, hujung minggu pembukaan, minggu kedua dan minggu ketiga bagi filem Malaysia di Kemboja.

Selain daripada tayangan di panggung wayang, Pulau juga dipilih untuk Festival Filem Antarabangsa Kemboja 2023 dan menjadi satu-satunya wakil dari Malaysia.

Filem seram lakonan Amelia Handerson, Alif Satar dan Ikmal Amry itu turut ditayangkan di Vietnam (juga menjadi filem Malaysia dengan keuntungan tertinggi sepanjang masa), Indonesia, Singapura dan Brunei.

Memanfaatkan kejayaan Pulau di Kemboja, WebTVAsia dan Westec Media menandatangani memorandum persefahaman (MoU) untuk membangunkan rangkaian pengkarya digital bersijil YouTube pertama di Kemboja di bawah payung MCN WebTVAsia.

Consider This: Teens, Tech & Trust (Part 2) — Building Digital Resilience

In Malaysia, 75% of teenagers use social media daily—but with this constant connection comes a growing number of risks. A new report by the think tank SERI titled ‘Teens, Tech, and Trust’ reveals that fewer than half of Malaysian teens feel safe online— with cyberbullying, scams, and hacking being everyday realities. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
