Hailing from a film lab background, and a technical one at that, environmental impact has been a hugely noticeable part of my career in the Film and Cinema Industry. Remembering the amount of chemicals that flowed through the maze of pipework and then ultimately into the drainage system at some point always disconcerted me. Hopefully I am open to speak freely about this now, but there was a definite unease with what was being sent down that pipe! I’m sure that everything was regulated and above board, right?!?…

Malaysia is a fast-growing market for cinema. Can you please give us an insight into its current size and potential for growth?

Malaysia has 169 cinemas operating throughout the country. The largest cinema operators are Golden Screen Cinemas, TGV Cinemas, MBO Cinemas, Lotus Five Star, DADI Cinema and MM Cineplexes. There are plans to open more locations this year.
