Maybe, looking at the response of the people, it should be taken into consideration," she told reporters after visiting the Pekan Nenas Fire and Rescue Station here Sunday .

She said her ministry was currently focusing on promoting the Malaysia My Second Home programme by providing attractive packages in collaboration with the Home Ministry and Tourism, Culture and Arts Ministry.
