KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 (Bernama) — Local producers – Fullmoon Pictures (M) Sdn. Bhd. (Fullmoon Pictures) held a celebration to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Malaysia’s successful ascent to Mount Everest in 1997. In conjunction with this celebration, they launched an RM150 million media franchise under “The SUMMIT-97” campaign in the presence of YB Senator Dato’ Sri Ti Lian Ker, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports (KBS); YBrs. Tuan Zakaria Abdul Hamid, Chairman of National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS); and other government officials, including High Commissioners and Ambassadors from various countries.
Starting their operations some four years ago, Fullmoon Pictures was moved by the stories of the local climbers and is set to bring justice to their heroic journey through life-threatening weathers and terrains, in an effort to put Malaysia on the map. Despite their tremendous efforts, many are unaware of this historic event; even Wikipedia has yet to recognize it. Hence, Fullmoon Pictures is embarking on a mission to raise awareness on this matter and allow for yet another reason for the rakyat to be proud of its country.
