2021年，“冲击”和“调整”成为马来西亚文化发展的主题词。马来西亚政局再次生变，穆希丁下台，伊斯梅尔接任总理。新冠肺炎疫情反复，文化产业遭受重创。在此背景下，马来西亚政府努力扶持文化产业，加速数字化转型，开展线上多元文化活动，加强与外界尤其是与中国的文化交流。在政策层面上，“2021国家文化政策”的出台，成为全年文化发展重大事件。
In 2021，“impact” and “adjustment” became the keywords for the cultural development of Malaysia. The political situation in Malaysia changed again，Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin stepped down and Ismail Sabri Yaakob took over as prime minister. The past year has seen repeated waves of COVID-19 pandemic，and the cultural industry has been hit hard. In this context，the Malaysia government has made great efforts to support the cultural industry，accelerated digital transformation，carried out online multicultural activities，and strengthened cultural exchanges with the outside world，especially with China. At he policy level，the introduction of the “2021 National Cultural Policy” has become a major event in cultural development throughout the year.
