Drive-in cinema is becoming a trend due to the pandemic and the first drive-in cinema in Malaysia was officially launched in Perak!
The drive-in cinema named Casuarina Sini-Drive was launched in Downtown Meru, Perak and can accommodate up to 70 vehicles.
And if you’re wondering if you have to wind down your windows throughout the entire movie to hear the movie’s audio, fret not because you can hear the film sound with a special radio frequency!
“A special radio frequency will be provided to the audience so the film sound can be heard directly through their respective vehicles’ audio systems,” said Perak Corporation Berhad (PCB) chief executive officer Zainal Iskandar Ismail.
The cinema is a part of PCB’s initiative and is expected to have a positive impact on the tourism sector in Perak which is badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and to help revive the activities of tourists travelling to Ipoh.
“I was inspired to create this drive-in cinema from my experience during the Movement Control Order (MCO) when we were instructed to comply with social distancing,” said Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu.
The drive-in cinema movie tickets are priced between RM36 to RM42 for each vehicle and come with a set of snacks and drinks!
The public can enjoy watching movies from the comfort of their own car from 8pm to 11pm on the six metres by 18 metres screen daily except Mondays starting July 18!
“We plan to open this drive-in cinema in other places such as Kuala Kangsar and Kampar if it is well received,” Zainal Iskandar said.
You can make your bookings at their website www.sini-drive.com.my which includes various genres including action movies as well as Bollywood movies!
Looks like the Perak drive-in cinema beat the one that is coming soon in Kuala Lumpur to be the first drive-in cinema in Malaysia!
