MATTA President Datuk M K Harun has called on MITA, CRAM, MITTA, Bumitra and MCTA to approach MATTA for a dialogue on the issue of compulsory membership of MATTA.
He said, " This complusory membership has proven to be workable and beneficial to the industry. With the monitoring by MATTA of its members, the Tourism Ministry can rely on us to regulate the travel and tour industry".
"The Ministry has to think hard before it decides to undo this structure that it had created in 2000," he added.
But the industry knows fully well that this structure has only benefitted MATTA as an NGO but not its members. Many problems have arisen due to MATTA not being able to handle problems of its contituents and spend time only to enrich the organisation.
Compulsory membership of any organisation essentially deny the basic rights of a business entreprise operating under a free market system and in a country that uphold the essence of democracy.
