Lee Keen Whye, Chairman of the Asian Television Awards, says “These are decision makers who can influence what to film, when to film and where to film. It is an opportunity for them to make content about or engage talents from the host country and therefore generate publicity about arts and culture, tourist destinations and even business opportunities”

Adam Ham, Country Director of Wonder Paradise Malaysia, says “As a strategic partner of the Asian Television Awards representing the Malaysian entertainment industry, we’re honored to be in the position to encourage, promote and accelerate the growth of the local television production industry. We believe in the high potential and high quality of Malaysian stories, content, producers, directors and talents, which are culturally adept that could appeal for export worldwide. In this regards, we are very much thrilled and confident for many more Malaysian entries to be recognized at the upcoming Asian Television Awards in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Finally, we sincerely thank FINAS, MDEC, Astro and Rocketfuel Entertainment for their continued support as ambassadors of the Asian television industry.”
