At the press conference, Malaysian Deputy Minister of Communications and Multimedia Eddin Syazlee Shith praised the cooperation, saying it will help communications and entertainment companies of the two countries expand their joint projects.
He said he expects the cooperation with Vietnam to lay the ground for similar activities with other ASEAN member states.

Moonlight Saigon is scheduled to be screened on the Malaysian national television’s TV2 channel in October at 7pm (local time) from Monday to Friday.
