Have you hung around KLIA lately?
The 'quietness' of KLIA is proof that tourism in Malaysia is also in deep shit!
Why can't you idiots be more open and frank like Singapore, which openly admits that their tourist arrivals and exports are down!

Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Abdul Taib. With a very long name with titles and the only one who may not be in tune with the world conditions .
He may be the only one who knows how to use a computer but does not have an Internet connection because he cant read and write to say the things he says.
If he thinks the Ministry's coffers are filling could be due to too many pigeon droppings but have you taken a look at your stone age Immigration policies? Do you also know Malaysia has the worst teksi drivers. This is a study from the tourist organizations themselves.

This deputy Minister says tourists were attracted to Malaysia because of the low costs...

Since Malaysia sells itself, let's do away with this Ministry and save taxpayers tons of money. His current boss has 'questionable' expenditures not only in this Ministry but also in her former. It's magical no one is accountable.

Another nincompoop who is deaf,dumb and blind.I'm currently in Sabah on holiday with my family,visiting relatives and catching up with friends.As usual my laptop just buzz me and indicated to me that another moronic BN Minister made an idiotic statement.

My relatives,friends and my family had a sumptuous Christmas Hi-Tea at the Pacific Sutera Hotel on Christmas Day.The lobby of this 5 Star Hotel was completely deserted as compared to last year,as well as the Cafe Boleh Coffee House.Where were the so called Tourist?I understand that the occupancy rate is only 30% in this peak season.

By definition,is this moronic Minister suggesting that the 800,000 or so illegal immigrants in Sabah are the "Welcome Tourist" that he's referring to.How Pathetic.

Practically all these bn ministers talk cock & are generally retarded in one way or another. This guy is saying, Malaysia is spared from this hard-hitting recession cos "tourists" are still coming. What "tourists"?

All these BN govt ministers have no credibility, zero accountancy, they talk cock whenever their urge towards deception prodded them on. The more ridiculous their utterances, the more famous they get. They all have no substance. But they get ahead, make their millions or billions while in office.

Makes 50% of us voters wonder: what were the other 50% thinking when they cast their votes for BN? Let me give an example: this little old lady pensioner in her 70s are ever grateful to receive her RM1000 pension every month from the govt. It never occurred to her, that money or pension is not "owned" by the govt. That money comes from us the rakyat, thru taxes when we buy new cars, when we dine out, we pay govt tax. Without doubt, she casted her vote for bn.

Hello Sulaiman,do you really understand what is global economic crisis?

I absolutely agreed with Minister. Now if the tourists arriving into Malaysia was 0 and now is still 0 then you have to agree his statement is not incorrect. It is not the Minister needs to get his facts right. You people need to get your facts right with 1/2 past 6 mentality and pea brain size.

The value added products (whatever they might be???) is probably the reason that the vast majority of tourists bypass Malaysia and head for Singapore and Thailand

Local tourism will be totally vanished should PAS implement their Hudud law or Islamic state.

What has PAS done so far, I could not think of one good agenda other than full of racist act such as PKNS Low and Quota system in Kedah.

Until now I think there is no explanation on PKNS Low issue other than keep denying.

Full of ugly and racist politician in PAS will lead to the discrimination of non muslim in Malaysia.

Well, if you know the figures are generated by PEMPENA research unit, then you should not be surprise why such comments made. Frankly, if I am not wrong, total tourist visits actually equate to total foreigners entering the country, regardless of whether they are tourist or otherwise.

Total tourist spending is an estimated figure which based on very weak basis. To find out more, ask PEMPENA
