Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) last week was at the Ministry of Tourism and its favourite agency investigating several of the ministry’s officers over “ambiguous” tender procedures in advertising and promotions.
When asked to comment about this Tourism Minister Dato Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said: “They were not being investigated but were merely assisting the MACC.” She is right. What the MACC is after is the Minister herself. Let's see what they can find out. This will be another tsunami of corruption in Malaysia.
Instead of worrying about the people who has been affected by the tsunami in Japan this is what she has to say, " a drop in Japanes tourist arrival is expected."
“I presume it will affect us as the airports are closed. When a nation faces such a tremendous tragedy, I don’t think the people will have the mood to travel,” she said, after launching the annual 1Malaysia Kuala Lumpur International Dragon Boat Festival at Metropolitan Lake Garden in Kepong yesterday.
Expressing her sympathy to Japan, Dr Ng said Malaysian tourism officers at the ministry’s two offices in Tokyo and Osaka were safe.
Japanese Ambassador Masahiko Horie was reported as saying that Malaysia was the number one choice for Japanese tourists since 2006.
