BUKIT JALIL, May 24 — Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil today announced that the application for the Madani Generation Catalyst Fund will open from June 1 to June 30, 2026, with RM5 million allocated to support local creative content production.

He explained that the fund is open to eligible local companies and youth organisations.

“The fund is open to eligible local companies and youth organisations for the production of five key categories which are telefilms, documentaries, short films, short documentaries and animation, with a total allocation of RM5 million,” he said in his speech during the closing ceremony of the Youth Festival at National Youth Day 2026 for the Federal Territories here today.

He said the programme is designed to encourage content creation that reflects the Madani aspirations of Malaysia, with emphasis on identity, harmony, integrity and unity, while also ensuring sensitivity towards religion, race and the royal institution.
