RIMAU RIGHTS (RR) is founded upon the vision that Malaysian literary works could and should be promoted to a worldwide audience.

Due to the fact that there are a lot of aspects of the publishing industry such as contracts, marketing, production and cross-medium publication, which might not be familiar to some authors or content owners – hence, the role of Rimau Rights is essential to facilitate them.

Therefore, Rimau Rights will also act as a bridge between Malaysian and international stakeholders, as an international publicist.
