GEORGE TOWN

Culture, Arts and Tourism Minister Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi said some individuals and organisations had been dropping his and other ministers’ names for their own interests.Announcing that a minister will be attending an event without his approval is wrong and the culprits can be penalised for it, he said in response to a report that an organisation had claimed that he had given verbal agreement to attend its event.

Mohamaddin also said the federal government is expected to announce positive news on the Visa-On-Arrival for tourists after the Aidilfitri celebrations in June or July. “We were in discussion with the Home Minister to sort out some issues regarding the VOA including making it easier for tourists to come into Malaysia, more lenient and relaxed in requirements to increase the number of visitors annually,“ he said.
