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”
Whilst preparations are ongoing to hold the Awards, we are conscious of the impact of Covid-19 and safety measures including social distancing have been taken into consideration. In the event that international travel has not resumed by Jan 2021, the Awards will be held virtually but still in
the 3-day format and our regional audience of 500 million across Asia Pacific will be able to continue to watch and enjoy the proceedings through their favorite broadcast channels and Facebook as before.
Alan Eucharis Choo, Group CEO of Wonder Paradise, says “As the strategic partner to the Asian Television Awards, we are honored to be co-producing the upcoming Awards led by our Cambodian office. Due to Covid-19,we have set up contingency plans for the event to be run digitally, and are confident that the quality of production will be as good as being in person. As a regional digital media and event organization, we will ensure that the viewers at home will be able to celebrate the best of Asian content along with the nominees, participants & talents.”
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. Although many of us were forced to stay safe at home during the Movement Control (MCO), Malaysians have learned to appreciate an abundance of locally produced TV programs, as well as being entertained by many popular local TV personalities on television and online virtual sessions. 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. Last but not least, we sincerely thank FINAS, MDEC, Astro and Rocketfuel Entertainment for their continued support as ambassadors of the Asian television industry.”
