MANILA: Vice President Sara Duterte on Friday (Oct 18) downplayed the multimillion “safe house” rentals paid for by her office’s confidential funds for 11 days in 2022, saying they were not unusual expenditures by government.

Malaysian Association of Hotels Melaka chapter chairman Khairulnizam Kasim said nothing was tabled to address their woes, especially to alleviate the rising cost of operation.

"We hoped that some type of tax exemption would be announced for us to promote high-end tourism and attract high-spending tourists but nothing came up. He said many hoteliers felt that their wish list for Budget 2025 was ignored despite having constantly raised their concerns in meetings with the relevant ministries over the past couple of years.
