KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 — Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing clarified that his recent remarks concerning non-Muslim tourists visiting Langkawi facing certain restrictions were not to single out Kedah but to highlight the issues affecting the tourism sector nationwide., his remarks came in response to statements made by Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, regarding regulations on alcohol consumption and clothing attire for tourists in Langkawi.

“We can’t deny the shortcomings that exist , which include leakages and abuse of power by certain parties for self-interest,” he was quoted as saying at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday. Tiong, who is also the Bintulu MP, emphasised the importance of respect among all parties, regardless of their race, religion, or background as individual rights are protected by the Federal Constitution, and it is not appropriate to force one’s beliefs on others.
