Kita perlu sentiasa memperbaharui program atau aktiviti untuk menarik pelancong-pelancong asing. Apa yang penting ialah menunjukkan sesuatu yang unik dan mempersonakan kepada mereka. Kebersihan tempat pelancongan juga tidak kurang pentingnya untuk menjaga imej negara. Rakyat Malaysia harus melayan mereka dengan baik dan tidak melakukan perbuatan negatif yang menakutkan mereka.

salam 1 malaysia Dato seri..bagi pendapat saya ada la bagus sekiranya kita memperkenalkan prodak tradisional kita kemata pelancong-pelancong yang datang ke malaysia.salah satu tempat yang paling penting untuk pelancong ada lah pusat pelancongan.di sini pelancong dapat maklumat tentang malaysia lebih tepat di samping itu kita juga boleh mempekenalkan prodak tradisional malaysia contohnya BATIK.di pusat penlancong malaysia di mana tempat saya memperkenalkan salah satu prodak tradisional malaysia (BATIK) perlu di kekalkan atau kita perbagaikan lagi.saya berharap dato dapat memberi peluang kepada saya.salah seorang pengusaha batik.salam 1 malaysia jep batik

Dear YAB Najib, all of us should feel proud that Malaysia is 1 of 10 top tourist destinations. The direct revenue from tourism should take back seat. It is the exposure and the goodwill it brings to Malaysia that really matters. Talking about tourist, I reckon the development of Langkawi has taken the tortoises speed after Tun M has stepped down as the PM of Malaysia. If developed adequately and all the possible attractions are in place, Langkawi alone would be capable to attract more tourists than the rest of Malaysia. I hope YAB instruct the Tourism Minister to take good care of Langkawi and its development as one of the best tourist destinations in the SE Asia.

1) Jatidiri tradisi masyarakat – trend pelancong lebih gemar mengambil gambar yg melibatkan aksi spontan tradisi dlm masyarakat – aktiviti kemasyarakatan seperti cukur jambul, kenduri kahwin, pelita likur terbuka kpd semua kaum dan pelancong – hidupkan seni tradisi dlm masyarakat sebagai aktiviti harian tanpa mengabaikan kemajuan dan teknologi, tentu sekali melalui pendidikan yg berkualiti. – pupuk kefahaman dan ilmu di kalangan muslim utk membezakan budaya dan agama.ianya tdk menjadi masalah jika masyarakat mempunyai ilmu dan faham dngn iktikad sebagai muslim. di sini peranan ulama' amat penting di samping pd waktu yg sama masyarakat tdk meminggirkan tradisi yg baik dan unik utk dipelihara.

Sy sngt gembira dngn keputusan kerajaan utk membangunkan Kg Baru mengikut acuan masyarakat tempatan. Diharap dialog pihak kerajaan dngn penduduk tempatan membuahkan hasil yg menguntungkan semua pihak amnya kepada sektor pelancongan negara dan khususnya pd kelangsungan kemakmuran penduduk Kg Baru

Penekanan kepada Sabah dan Sarawak sekali lagi.. di Sabah dan Sarawak terdapat banyak tempat-tempat yang menarik yang belum lagi diterokai.. Akan tetapi… kerana di Sabah dan Sarawak banyak kawasan pendalaman.. makanya peningkatan mutu "PUBLIC TRANSPORT"""""""", di bawah kawalan kementerian pengangkutan juga akan turut ditekankan.. seterusnya mutu """"""""QUARANTINE CONTROL"""""""" oleh kementerian kesihatan, imej dan mutu polis di bawah kementerian dalam negeri kalau tidak silap. Di bawah penekanan ini semua kementerian harus kerjasama antara satu sama lain untuk menjayakan projek ini.. Peningkatan bilangan pelancong yang masuk ke dalam negara ini akan mempengaruhi """"""""hotel occupancy rates"""""""".. dan peningkatan penjualan kraftangan untuk meningkatan mutu-mutu hidup kawan-kawan kita di dalam kawasan pendalaman! dan lain-lain lagi.."""""""

Pelancungan datang ke Malaysia antaranya untuk melihat kelainan budaya, makanan, membeli belah,hutan tropikanya,keindahan pulau-pulau dan tak ketinggalan barang buatan tempatan terutama batik dan hiasan.Pelancungan di Malaysia masih ditakuk yang lama dan pakej yang sama iaitu penginapan, bersiar [terpaksa dalam pakej]makan dan shoping terus balik. Sepatutnya pelancungan dikategorikan kepada pakej pantai,pakej bandaran dan pakej hutan [jungle tracking].Banyak destinasi yang menarik tidak sampai kepada pelancung.Pakej untuk pengganut Islam perlu ada pakej tersendiri. Apa yang dilihat pertunjukan kebudayaan tidak fokus hanya diadakan dipentas-pentas tempat makan sahaja. Istana Budaya, Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil dan banyak tempat yang sesuai perlu mementaskan tarian-tarian budaya kebangsaan yang berterusan setiap hari dan kekal sebagai satu pakej pelancungan.

Assalamualaikum Y.A.B Datuk Sri… saya tinggal di langkawi,apa yg dapat saya cadangkan ialah kita wartakan Langkawi menjadi Pulau Pelancongan sepenuhnya. Tak ada heavy Indutri di sini(Kilang simen) banyak pelancong yg complain dgn kilang ni,pencemaran udara…dan saya dengar ada juga pelabur yg nak buka hotel di kawasan ewa hingga ke tg rhu tak jadi nak melabur, dan hotel 5 bintang yg ada di kawasan berhampiran pun complain.untuk pengetahuan Datuk Sri,di langkawi selain pantai cenang yg mempunyai pantai yg cantik…pasir hitam hingga ke tg rhu juga mempunyai pantai dan pemandangan yg cukup menarik, mintak datuk sri datang dan pantau dan melihat masalah ini saya berpandangan, sekiranya kilang simen yg hanya mempunyai lebih kurang 200 tenaga kerja tidak ada,sekurang kurangnya 3 buah hotel boleh diwujudkan,yg mana setiap buah hotel mempunyai tenaga kerja tak kurang dari 400 orang

Salam 1Malaysia Datuk Seri, Saya ingin menyentuh mengenai Kuala Lumpur. Jika pelancong berkunjung ke sini, mereka akan bertanya "apa ada di Kuala Lumpur?"""""""" shopping mall? pasar malam? bagunan-bangunan lama yang terabai? masjid? Mana ciri 'Melayu' Malaysia itu? Kampung Baru? Saya cadangkan diwujudkan satu pusat kebudayaan traditional yang menampilkan ciri senibina melayu traditional dari serata negeri (seperti di melaka) dan persembahan kebudayaan di KUALA LUMPUR. Selain 'membuka' Kuala Lumpur sebagai hub kebudayaan asia dan mewujudkan muzium-muzium sejarah kedatangan dan warisan budaya masyarakat cina, india di malaysia."""""""

as'kum kpd PM MALAYSIA… saya harap 1 je untuk memantapkan bidang pelancongan kita ialah ahli-ahli yang berhormat harus berganding bahu dlm melaksanakan bidang pelancongan yang ader di tempat-tempat yang diwakili mereka. dalam erti lain membuat senarai apa yang blh dibangunkan ditempat mereka wakili dengan melihat setiap sudut kawasan atau daerah yang diwakili oleh mereka semua. sekian dri saya….

As a Hottelier I have few suggestions: 1. Improve security of tourist visiting our country. Many foreign guests has been snatched(snatch thief).This is a major issue facing us in our daily. Most of the tourist have vowed not to come back to Malaysia. 2. Tourism Malaysia should emulate their Indonesian and Thai counterpart in promoting malaysia. In terms of efficiency,effectiveness and activities. 3. Gazzete a five day working week for all instead of only government to encourage Domestic Tourism. 4. Promote our multicultural advantage to attract foreigners.

I would suggest that the government to create a tourist bus company which main purpose is to bring the foreign tourists to our famous beaches. This will save them time and money. As we know most of them come here to enjoy our beautiful beaches but are troubled by the boundary of language. So with this kind of bus company they will feel more confident in reaching their desire destination without the normal obstacle.

A great way to attract tourist to visit our country is by providing a tramwayline/monorail/cablecar services at few selected tourist spots all around Malaysia with a minimal charge to the passenger. When we already have a good tramway/monorail/cablecar service at this selected tourist spot, we can then make it a pedestrian walkway. It will also enhance the public transport system in those selective area. Most of the tourist spot in the developed country in the world provided tramway/monorail/cable car services to their tourist spot like in Singapore, Australia and etc. It also good for the environment as well as the more people commute using public transport the less it would be we polluting our air.

Salam Dato seri pada pemikiran saya untuk menarik pelancong datang ke malaysia, pihak Tourism Malaysia kena lah banyak buat promosi di luar negara,seperti tarian tradisional,masakan,tempat peraginan di malaysia dll tentang malaysia.ini pengalaman saya pada tahun 2007 apabila tourism malaysia memperkenal kan VISIT YEAR MALAYSIA,ketika itu saya berada di negeri china membuat promosi food and culture.sungguh tak menyangka sambutan dari orang china sangat menghargai budaya kita,bukan itu sahaja malah setiap pelusuk daerah yang saya kunjungi ,tahu di mana MALAYSIA berada .Saya menjadi bangga sebagai warganegara MALAYSIA

Dear sir, I would like to draw your attention to the large tariff difference of electricity. I hope that there will be some action taken to standardize the tariff of electricity in Malaysia. Monthly income of Sarawak people is not as high but the electricity is higher in Sarawak. Sarawak is producing and generating electricity but still the tariff is higher. High tariff would be a burden for Sarawak resident. I hope that the electricity tariff in Sarawak can be reduced. Please refer to electricity tariff: http://www.tnb.com.my/tnb/tariff/newrate_domestic… http://www.sesco.com.my/sesco/english/metercalc5.htm

Salam Dato' Sri, saya memohon jasa baik pihak Dato' Sri untuk memantau kemasukan bas-bas persiaran dari negara jiran. Adakah ini dapat menjana ekonomi dalam industri pelancongan? Kesian kepada operator bas persiaran yang hanya mampu melihat kemasukan bas-bas persiaran dari negara jiran yang hanya lalu dAn singgah di R&R yang terdapat sepanjang lebuhraya di negara kita…..Salam 1 Malaysia & Malaysia Truly Asia…!!!

I thing we should go back to basics. 1. Preserve and encourage the dying arts and culture . e.g. Kris making (we should give special allowances to the artisians and having youth to learn the arts from them.) 2. Preserve and maintain old buildings and old towns 3. Encourage architects and builders to build more traditional Malay houses. Have a special place for the RUMPUN MELAYU houses as museum or live in meseums. 4. Encourage – Kampong style living in islands and kampongs for tourist, not those homestays , which has already lost it's meaning. 5. More natural beauty in islands and kampongs – replanting of trees especially coconuts in islands. Wasallam

It heartning to know that Lonley planet chose Malaysia as one of the best destination of 2009 but suggestion ststing that we are going for more eco-tourism is no way for Malaysian. I wonder how many of us Malaysian really knows what eco-tourism is all about? we are still far away from it man…..

Any focus ie. eco tourism, edu tourism, shopping tourism et al, I have no qualms Dato Seri. Malaysia has a lot to offer no doubt. It is just that we havent really sit down to give emphasis on neatness and cleanliness on our streets, in our public toilets, on empty lands and the likes. More funds have to be given to cleanliness operation and culture inculcation.

Seandainya sektor pelancongan menjadi wadah penampilan kepelbagaian dan perpaduan kita, saya mencadangkan kita membina satu kawasan yang penuh dengan ciri-ciri Melayu Kedesaan di tepian sungai dengan perumahan kayu yang terjaga dan landskap buah-buahan serta ulam-ulaman yang segar. Pelancong luar ingin menerokai keunikan kita, bukan untuk melihat persamaan atau klon mereka. Apa yang perlu dilakukan kini, kita hanya perlu mencipta & mengangakat budaya indah yang kita miliki.

All places in Sabah & Sarawak states are amazing ! Mountains, Rivers, clear waters of the sea (like sampoorna), Jungles – never ending ! I was thinking even the logging roads in sabah & sarawak can be used as motor rally for both cars & heavy trucks. It will be a very natural motor rally road with all kinds of obstacles, especially if it is a rainy day !! Rivers can be used for Boat race! Good chances to make mountaineering schools or Rock climbing schools at Kinabalu mountains ! Para gliding trainings – adventure tourism. My best wishes for the Tourism Ministry of Malaysia!

salam, first of all, before gov concentrating to attract international tourist. why dont gov try to fulfill what Malaysian wanted. for me the most important thing is about Malaysia's road, please try and focus to build a nice road that will last longer.even though it will cost more then usual, but in long term, it will save a lot of money. besides that, roads with potholes should be dig out bigger so that small stones can be place in then only tars on it.

Salam DS Najib, Satu potensi yang belum di tap – "food based"""""""" tourism. My hometown is Melaka and we have the famous """"""""ikan bakar outlets"""""""" along Merlimau road which attracted people from as far as Johor/Singapore and also, restoran nyonya. Tempat-tempat lain ada juga makanan istimewanya seperti Mee Udang Penang dan lain-lain. Some people especially the Japanese willing to travel to try different type of food. In Japan, it is sort of called """"""""Food-Hot Spring Tourism"""""""". Unfortunately, hot spring is not in abundance, so food-tourism may be coupled with a different attraction such as """"""""festival"""""""" and etc, thus a specific area need to have a specific related """"""""festival"""""""". Maybe tourism board can promote food and festival of certain areas along with other attraction such as UNESCO's World heritage site and etc."""""""

YAB Datuk Seri, Assalamualaikum, To be honest to Dato'-Eco-tourism, agro-tourism and health-tourism is a good deal to the countries. However those 3 mechanism is not integrated. Something missing to cluster together so that it will be memorable such as Scenery goes to Eating and check the happiness but where my root? I do see by implement the Islamic Historical Tourism, we shall comeback to 1nation, 1malays, 1brothers and 1heart to protect each others for well-being. My roots can be found once my hirachy chart completed by encouraging all muslim to fill in the name that are missing. I much oblighed to donate more financial to this kind of activities as my heart my soul and my body would be comfortable and find the happiness when being carry to the grave-yard as I surely see the needs of all my brothers to help the poor eventho I'm not rich.

Saya ini mencadangkan agar Kerajaan dapat membuka sebuah Muzium dan Gallery Kucing di Kuala Lumpur. Ada beratus jenis kucing yang boleh dipaperkan di Malaysia dan ada kucing tersebut tidak pernah dilihat di Malaysia. Disamping kucing hidup kita juga boleh mempamerkan Artifak yang bermotifkan kucing yang mana sekarang ini saya sendiri ada mengumpulkan sebanyak 3000 buah. Saya dapati dari luar dan dalam negara. Saya ada membuat kertas kerjanya . Jika boleh saya ini kemukakan kertas kerja tersebut. Kita tidak perlu bangunan baru untuk Muzium ini kerana banyak banglow lama kerajaan yang tidak digunakan boleh dijadika muzium tersebut. Saya berharap agar saya dapat diberi peluang untuk menunjukkan kertas kerja tersebut kepada kerajaan.

Assalamualaikum. Saya merupakan anak jati daerah Mersing,daerah yg terkenal dgn keunikan pesisir pantai,taman laut & gugusan pulau yang menarik. Namun masalah utama yg ketara boleh dilihat adalah berkenaan perkhidmatan PENGANGKUTAN AWAM yg teruk. Dgn keadaan bas yg sekadar cukup berupa bas dari luaran, perkhidmatan teksi yg tidak memuaskan (ikut sesuka hati pemandu teksi sahaja). Pengusaha syarikat bas dilihat hanya mementingkan keuntungan. Dlm akhbar juga telah diutarakan tentang permasalahan ini. Lebih memalukan,perkhidmatan ini juga digunakan oleh para pelancong yg ingin meneruskan pengembaraan selepas puas bercuti di pulau-pulau untuk ke kota tinggi atau ke johor bahru. Pengalaman saya sendiri mendengarkan rungutan dari para pelancong tentang perkhidmatan bas tersebut.Jika tempat pelancongan sahaja 1st class,namun perkhidmatan lain masih tiada class,ianya tidak mendatangkan apa-apa faedah. Malah rugi dan cercaan yg akan diperolehi.

Salam 1 malaysia Datuk seri, Saya berpendapat,kita mesti kena pasti kehendak pelacong yang datang dari serata dunia.Sebagai contoh, pelancong Eropah mereka minat pantai laut yang indah,tempat bersejarah,adat resam masyarakat di malaysia.Kita janganlah hanya focus pada yang sedia ada,malah kita perlu "THINK OUT OF BOX"""""""".Kita perlu mendedah apa jua kebolehan kita yang terpendam dalam diri kita. Negara kita kaya dengan pelbagai makanan tradisi setiap kaum,kita perlu kenal pastikan tempat-tempat yang menghasilkan makanan tradisi dan ia perlu diistiarkan sebagai tempat pelancongan.Sebagai contoh, kita tahu Kacang putih tetapi kebanyakan antara kita tidak tahu bagaimana ianya dibuat. dan banyak lagi,kita boleh senaraikan makan lagi.. Ini juga akan mengalakkan pelancong dari luar dan dalam negeri. Ikhlas Peru D Nithiyananthar PIBG Chairman SJKT Gunung Rapat Ipoh"""""""

Datuk Seri PERDANA MENTERI, .6 ASAS UTAMA UNTUK MEMBAWA PELANCUNG UPPER CLASS. PERLANCUNG YANG MEMPU BEBERLANJA. 1,PASTIKAN HOTEL KITA BERSIH SERTA BUDI BAHASA YANG BAIK. 2.PERTUNJUKAN PENTAS / ARTIS LUAR NEGARA.. YANG MENGIKUT JADUAL/ ISTANA BUDAYA PERLU DI JADIKAN PUSAT HIBURAN DAN NYANYIAN YANG BERTARAF DUNIA. 3, CASINO BARU PERLU DI BUKA DI BANDAR KUALA LUMPUR KHAS UNTUK PELANCUNG DAN JUTAWAN JUTAWAN LUAR NEGARA. 4,BANK NEGARA PERLU BAWA BANK BANK SAUDAGAR DUNIA MASUK UNTUK MEMBUAT MAJLIS MAJLIS RASMI MEREKA. 5.BUKA KEMUDAHAN KEPADA MAS/JET/AIR ASIA/ PERTANDINGAN DAN SYARIKAT GEGASI TEMPATAN ..

Sebagai contoh yang senang ambil Bandar Temerloh, Pahang ; sejak sekian lama telah terkenal dengan Nama bandar Ikan Patin. Setiap orang yang telah sampai ke Bandar Temerloh Dan telah pernah menikmati masakan asam tempoyak ikan patin Akan datang semula malahan Akan mengiklankan kepada kawan kawan Akan keistimewaannya. Malahan Ada mereka yang sekadar datang makan tengahari setelah bermesyuarat di Kuala Lumpur. Masih banyak yang boleh dipertambah baikkan secara intergrated keistimewaannya tersebut seperti menyediakan akuarium, pusat ternak secara bersepadu, rumah rakit, pusat memancing , restoren terapung Dan lainlain sampingan yang boleh difikirkan lagi. Masukkan dalam pakej pelancungan. Lihatlah contoh pakej pelancungan ke Australia dimasukkan di dalamnya melancung ke tempat ternak lembu Dan biribiri sahaja tetapi mengundang beratus pelancungan setiap hari.

Salam Buat Datuk Saya ada satu idea, setiap kedia berasaskan tourism & tourism places gambarnya diambil menggunakan GPS Camera kemudian plot ke satu sistem yang paparkan Peta Malaysia dalam multi bahasa.

Good day YAB PM, I have two suggestions to better promote tourism industry in our country: i. Defence tourism – we should rehabilitate all WW1 and WW2 history/landmark in Malaysia, especially how alliance fought Japanese. Many places have their own attractions to Aussies, Brits, NZ, Japanese, and no exception local tourists. I went to South Korea and really amazed by its efforts to promote military DMZ, border with North Korea. Everyday dozen of buses full with tourist visited DMZ. We can have similar in Malaysia. We need to reconstruct how we fought communist insurgency, how PKM lived in the jungle, the tunnel, etc. I trust this will create interest for many tourists. Vietnam also have the same thing..how they fought American..now become asset to the tourism industry. thank for now Ismail

ii. History tourism – History tourism or Hist Tourism is another product that can be mainstreamed. We have unique history such as "JWW Birch"""""""", old mining (in Pahang, Perak, Johor) we have all those interesting products, but sadly we are not promoting. I know rehabilitation is costly but it is important to add value to the tourism products. Thank you Ismail"""""""

Dato' Seri,since the GLC Transformation Program idea was mooted in year 2004, until now I really wonder why do PNB & EPF do not get a new transformational leaders? There is no doubt both organizations are doing well for the time being.But don't you ever think that these two organizations also need new transformational leaders to bring them into greater heights? Is there any double standard among GLCs itself? Worse still, both current leaders have already exceed their retirement age. So, where is the succession planning? Where is the Talent Development Program that has been written nicely in the GLC Orange Book? Please Dato' Seri, you are the only person who could bring in change.

May our country be the best example of an Islamic country throughout the world under the leadership of our beloved PM.

There was one time a group of tourists, probably from an Oriental country, visited a mosque. One very elderly tourist guy wondering inside the mosque alone with his sandal still on his feet. Suddenly an angry voice shouted at the elderly man instructing him to get out from the mosque. The mosque's attendant shooed him off like a man shooing a dog from his house. Very unfortunate, sad and embarrassing incident witnessed by everyone in the mosque. The attendant should act politely when handling with tourists for they may not know the Islamic culture. There was no one from the mosque leading the tourists. How are we going to make people love our religion and house of worship if such is the case? Just being thoughtful over this unfortunate incident that may tarnish our tourism industry.

Banyak perkara lagi yang kita perlu pertingkatkan untuk menarik pelancong datang lebih kerap. Prasarana pelancongan mesti dipertingkatkan. Kebersihan adalah antara perkara utama yang akan menarik pelancung datang. Restoran, pasar malam, pantai, kampung, bandar dan taman haruslah bersih. Kita boleh menjalankan kempen bersama untuk membersih satu Malaysia. Kadar jenayah harus sifar. Orang-orang Melayu mesti kembali dan kenal budaya dan tradisi mereka. Budaya bangsa lain boleh dilawat dinegara mereka tapi budaya Melayu hanya ada di Malaysia. Makanan Melayu amat susah diterima oleh pelancung jadi orang Melayu perlu berusaha menjadikan makanan ini dapat diterima oleh pelancung. Makanan Thai, Indonesia dan India pedas tapi dapat diterima oleh orang luar. Disamping itu kos pelancongan mestilah murah. Membelibelah harus murah dan pelbagai.

Dear Datuk Seri, I need to forward a question which i feels doesn't go together with the 1Malaysia implant . Y there is still a quota for University Entrance , contracts grabbing , civil service jobs entry ,special privilege for Bumiputeras in purchasing house but not for other races? My friends in overseas questions me is y there is a quota and still ur PM can say 1Malaysia.I am as Indian feel being left out from the economic mainstream. Quota system should be abolished and government should more transparent in awarding contracts.One simple example,i;m giving : Last week i went to ( JPN) which is located in Ayer Keroh Melaka..Its newly constructed building ( 3-4 years ) but now the condition is horrible.Its seems like a work of non – quality Malay contractor .Y there is a quota . As a Malaysian , i need to answer back my friends on the actual 1 Malaysia meaning and y there is still a existence of quota in Malaysia . Pls answer to my questions to make this avenue much interactively.

Dear Datuk Seri , Lot of announcements being made and MoU signed that investments are flowing into Malaysia but i feel that there is any physical development . Some is halted and some is dragged for donkey years . I feel that government should me more serious in bringing genuine investors into Malaysia.I can highlight few investment which never took place at all ..but i dun want .Pls look into this matter seriously.

When will you be in Penang? I hope to be given the opportunity to talk to you for 20minutes. I have been trying to make appointment through your office for 6 months to no avail.

Setiap daerah hendaklah menyediakan sekurang2nya satu pakej pelancungan bersepadu. Kementerian Pelancungan hendaklah mengumpulkan atau membukukan setiap pakej tersebut yang mana buku2 tersebut boleh diedarkan ke pusat maklumat pelancungan. Pusat Maklumat Pelancungan perlu diadakan di setiap daerah, negeri Dan negara yang mudah ditemui seperti di lapangan terbang, perhentian bas Dan teksi, egen pelancungan Dan lain2 tempat yang sesuai. Sistem maklumat elektronik juga amat membantu. Di dalam penerbangan sentiasa dapat diwarwarkan.

Kementerian Pelancungan boleh menganjurkan Majlis Perkahwinan Secara Tradisi setiap kaum Dan dibuat secara berkelompok dimana boleh diadakan di setiap negeri atau daerah di setiap musim cuti persekolahan dimana boleh menjimatkan kos individu kerana mereka mungkin dikenakan sedikit yuran penyertaan saja dimana kalau setiap orang mengadakan majlis secara persendirian mungkin melibatkan perbelanjaan yang lebih besar.

Assalamualaikum Dato' Seri, Memang benar negara kita telah mendapat banyak menafaat dari sektor pelancongan yang telah mula berkembang seperti yg Dato' Seri katakan. Namun masih banyak cabang lain yg perlu kita kembangkan seperti pelancongan sukan, pelajaran, pameran, perfileman, seni, makanan dll. Saya melihat perkembangan seni tanahair masih suram walaupun teknologi industri ini telah berkembang namun disebabkan kita masih bergantung kepada pasaran tempatan. Ingin saya cadangkan supaya kita menganjurkan pameran industri kesenian di Malaysia dimana pengiat serta usahawan didalam bidang ini dapat berkumpul dan mempromosikan perkhidmatan atau perniagaan mereka. Pameran ini pastinya akan menarik peserta dari dalam dan luar negara utk berkunjung ke Malaysia secara tidak langsung akan meningkatkan jumlah pelancong ke Malaysia. Insyaallah. Akhir kata saya ingin mengucap syabas kpd Dato' Seri and keep up the good work . We will support u all d way… Razli

Industri pelancongan sememangnya akan memberikan pulangan yang positif kepada ekonomi negara amnnya. Dahulu pekerja agensi kerajaan menikmati diskaun potongan hotel sebanyak 10% daripada harga penginapan asal. Namun kini keistimewaan itu telah hilang dan banyak hotel memandang sinis kepada kadar potongan tersebut kerana lebih mengutamakan keuntungan. Bagi memberikan galakan rakyat melawati banyak destinasi yang indah di Malaysia, seharusnya kadar potongan tersebut perlu diwujudkan bagi memberi ruang kepada golongan sektor kerajaan menikmati kadar yang minima.

Baru-baru ini saya mengunjungi Pulau Pinang. Saya amat terkejut kerana kes jenayah ragut berlaku di depan mata saya dan saya juga difahamkan oleh masyarakat sekeliling bahawa kes jenayah ragut begitu tinggi di sekitar bandar George Town dan juga Penang Sentral. Jika PDRM tidak meningkatkan kawalan dan juga menambahkan anggota di kawasan yang berisiko tinggi, masalah ini akan menganggu sektor pelancongan di Pulau Pinang yang merupakan pintu masuk bagi pelancong-pelancong asing serta pelancong tempatan. PDRM perlu menempatkan seberapa ramai anggota di sekitar tumpuan orang ramai.

Salam Datuk Seri, Internet adalah salah satu cara untuk mempromosikan pelancongan di Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, apa yang dapat saya lihat, penggunaan internet dalam mempromosikan pelancongan tidaklah terlalu meluas. Selain itu, web-web pengankutan yang terdapat di Malaysia juga tidak mesra pengguna. Contohnya website Malaysia Airlines, KTMB dan beberapa website yang lain tidak menunjukkan sebarang kemajuan malahan terlalu perlahan untuk diakses. Sebagaimana yang kita ketahui, kebanyakan pelancong-pelancong asing lebih gemar mengakses sendiri maklumat-maklumat berkaitan tempat yang ingin dituju, membeli secara online tiket-tiket kapal terbang, keretapi dan sebagainya selain menggunakan khidmat agensi pelancongan. sambung..

Saya ingin memuji website Air Asia kerana sangat mesra pengguna dan pantas dalam sebarang transaksi dan mungkin syarikat seperti Malaysia Airlines dan KTMB boleh belajar dari mereka kerana Malaysia Airlines dan KTMB sedikit sebanyak melambangkan atau mewakili Malaysia secara amnya.InsyaAllah, saya akan terus cuba menyumbangkan idea saya dalam mempromosi pelancongan di Malaysia. Terima kasih.

I applaud PM , ur initiative in going to the ground and meeting the public .The most serious case which is affecting now in the city is the plights of the Indian who is staying in Sentul Railway Indian Settlement..Living in city but condition more worst than Somalia.Datuk Saravanan visited them and give a comment that he is frustrated with YTL, but y he did nt provide any other alternative to the ppl there rather than waiting for the YTL reply .How long the ppl going to suffer and i urge Datuk Saravanan to stay in settlement together with them so that he knows their suffering..PM. pls look into this matter seriously..1Malaysia..I am a staunch supporter of BN but not MIC..MIC is saying but no action.

PLs make the blog a active area where public can send the grouses …DOnt just simply add the information but no action at all…Datuk Seri Najib , ur blog is interactive but not responsive…Do different from others!…

With the advance of mobile phones, the government should really look into GPS technology to give information to the foreign tourists about certain area in the country, where to eat and where the interesting events are being held. This will certainly save them time and will increase their knowledge of local custums. This will eliminates the language problem all together. Just imagine how convinient it will be, from calling taxi, to ordering food, and finding out the shortest way to a destination, without being taken to a con ride by certain taxy's drivers.

Kekalkan kestabilan dan keharmonian negara..

KPI for the tourism should be occupancy level of hotels or tourist nights, not tourist arrivals; outcome of tourists should be their spending and most would be spend on staying in hotels. occupancy rate of our hotel must be high at least 80% to be acceptable as an indication of success for the industry. with high occupancy rate the rest will follows eg shopping, taxi drivers, atttractions etc. For the tourist destinations to be succesful they must fulfil 5A formula; 1. Attractions 2. accessibility 3.Accomodation 4.Awareness 5. Accountability…………

PM, 1Malaysia is only good for tourism (superfocoal and not skin deep) and will always remain as songs and batik. They are nice but the reality is not. Your men including the DPM are undermining you and your effort. Your better get rid of them before they get rid of you. Then you'll see the real 1Malaysia flourishing.

Assalamualaikum Dato'Sri.Saya merupakan bekas peserta Program Francais PNS.Tetapi kelihatan terdapat beberapa kelemahan besar dalam program itu pada pandangan saya.Atau mungkin saya tak berapa tahu.Mungkin lebih elok buat je pelancongan bisnes secara sukarela yang perlu dibayar ala-ala macam sangkut kerja.Orang yang komited yang ada wang pun kita dapat kenalpasti.Produk perniagaan yang didambakan oleh peserta pun dapat dikenalpasti.Supplier pun budak-budak muda macam saya ni dapat kenal.Alat-alatan perniagaan pun dapat dicam sepintas lalu.Lagipun tahun ni tahun inovasi.Budak Melayu pun bukannya tongong sangat pun.Pendedahan dengan mata dan penzahiran komited diperlukan.Buka kiosk burger pun okey.Cuma bagi yang tidak tahu,tunjukkan alat,cara dan bagaimana professional jalankan perniagaan burger.Umpama nelayan Malaysia dibandingkan dengan nelayan USA.Terima kasih Dato'Sri.

There is a broad revenue source from touris industry, namely leisure, business, education and medical. Leisure could be the shortest stay and vice-versa for education. In my opinion, overseas offices of Malaysia Tourism Board should be revamped to cater the needs of those four types of tourism industry. The offices may be modelled according the British Council which emphasize on the cultural and educational aspect of the country which are the catalyst for tourism products. Perhaps, education may give greater mutplier impact on the nation economy due to its length of stay and indirect contribution such visits by relative and friends, and promotion through word of mouth which is more credible and effective. As a result, our two national carriers may complement each other to tap this vast revenue. At the same time, the Government could assist these two agents of tourism by providing all the necessary incentives.

As I move around Malaysia, the reality is less than perfect. I doubt if MS ISO or ISO per se or KPI will show all the weaknesses of Malaysian tourism. Try to be an ordinary traveler. You will get to experience what ordinary travelers will experience. Do not depend on the reports that reach your desk. Malaysia is undoubtedly one of the good places in the world to visit. But it takes a good management to draw out its’ beauty without destroying the nature. There are ethics and etiquettes for travelers; same too for travel operators. Then a lot of Malaysian tourism is made successful by their very own Malaysians. A very short poll will show what tourists like or do not like.

Dear Dato' Seri, It excites me tremendously when you announced the above statement. I get more inspired when you plan to invite fellow Malaysians for a cuupa. I pray to be among those invited to meet you. It is my only chance to pour all my ideas and yet feel safe with a hope of some support. I have an exclusive idea on promoting tourism for Malaysia. I do have several other ideas other topics. Coincidently I was offered to write a book about you and have an exclusive interesting yet educational topic research to work on. Dato Seri, I do hope to have an opportunity to confide my ideas. As a basic profile about me, I published an exclusive book on Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. You may visit my website vccmahathir.com. Salam and look forward for the cuppa tea occasion with you. God Bless you!

I think we have what it takes to bring our tourism sector to the next level… We have it all…No doubt we have a lot of beautiful places and activities that the tourists can visit and enjoy… My worry is the maintenance bit… I think we have not done enough to upgrade/maintain our buildings and facilities… My recent visit to Genting was a shock to me… Although the equipments are well maintained(service) but the color/paint is already dull on certain areas and that does't look attractive… Taiping railway station for example (our first railway station) was really not in a good condition… these are few examples from my own observation which I am sure there are a lot more in actual… I hope we can excell in this sector as it will bring multiplier effect (ie in terms of jobs creation, increasing level of income etc) to the country and community…

1. Kerajaan menubuhkan syarikat diperbadankan yang berorientasikan keuntungan atau mana-mana GLC untuk industri pelancongan ini. Kita mempunyai banyak sumber tetapi perlu disebarkan. i. Hutan Tropika – Junggle trekking, air terjun dan lain2 ii. Pantai – Ombak, Panas, Angin, – di manipulasi menjadi permainan atau sukan yang menyeronokan. (kreativiti & inovatif) iii. Kepelbagaian budaya (Melayu, Cina, Sabahan, Orang Asli, India, Kadazan dan lain-lain) iv. BUat satu penjenamaan contohnya indonesia dengan konsep bali, cina dengan batu jed, sutera so what about malaysia??? Saya rasa seperti kepelbaigaina makanan, keropok lekor, putu……Layang-layang, bot laju ata apa-apa…..

Dear Honorable Prime Minister, It saddens me that our southern neighbor have time and time again overtaken us in terms of tourism etc. Malaysia have so many places of interest and resources that are poorly managed and operated. Malaysia is surrounded by sea. Why don't we have a more comprehensive SeaWorld theme park instead of a close enclosure aquaria in Langkawi? We have many hills and mountains that are just waiting to be turned into a tourism spot. Unfortunately, these places are half heartily operated. I myself together with many fellow Malaysians have promoted Malaysia to many foreigners. And they have came and are surprised by its beauty. But us Malaysian who runs these places does not appreciate it, and more than often neglected it with poor maintenance. Salam Bahagia, Eric Lau

Assalamualaikum dato,saya ingin bertanya bagaimanakah caranya untuk kita mempromosikan rempah-ratus tempatan ke dalam dan luar negara?kerana dipercayai rempah-ratus boleh membawa pulangan keuntungan kepada negara selain dari menyiarkannya melalui internet.

Assalamualaikum WBT….. Dear YAB Datuk Seri Najib, Thank you for being my Prime Minister and the strength to promote 1Malaysia. As a Malaysian born in Singapore before Merdeka I am glad that my father chose to return to Malaysia. I am now are retired travel industry practitioner. Although much have been done to promote tourism in this country, I think we have not put up enough effort to maintain what we already have. 1. All the Cultural Villages – except for Sabah and Sarawak, the rest are in shambles. Examples.. Cherating Cultural Village, Penang cultural Village and many others. 2. No proper parking space for tourist buses near KLCC as this is a favourite photo icon. 3. Touts at KLIA and LCCT 4. The rubbish strewn on weekends at our beach resorts. 5. Haphazard parking in the cities that causes traffic jams. 6. Improperly maintained toilets. 7. The modernization of the Penang Hill railway.

Assalaamualaikum Honourable Dato' Seri Najib, Varieties of brainstorm suggestions coming from 1Malaysia concern in promoting our tourism factor. I would like to add further Muhamed Ali's idea commented on Feb. 17, 2010 (BJ is the same person). The idea and concept of my system will not only boost our tourism industry internationally, it is also applicable to every states who wishes to add colours and promote their tourism industry to a better level. My system also helps other industries as suggested by other 1Malaysians in this respective blog under tourism. Please refer me potential and sincere business people who is keen to work ,refine and invest in this innovative, creative, productive, profitive(is there such word? Aah..saja nak rhyme) and exclusive system. Again I look forward for a cuppa with you together in your 1malaysia interactive activity. Congrats on your Sarawak visit. Thank you!

Part 2 Why only now after more than 50 years of Independence from the British then we suddenly started to can our Muslim women?? Are we trying to tell the world that in the past 50 years all our women never involved in any adulterous activities?? Why only now to ban “Allah” wording even though this word has been using for more than 100 years even before our Independence from the British. ALL THESE ARE INDEED VERY NEGATIVELY IMPACT ON OUR TOURIST SECTORS AS WELL AS FDI when it makes headlines around the world for the wrong reasons AND of course IT IS NOT HELPING THE COUNTRY. Please do not can OR whip the lady who drank beer recently..

Part 1 Dear PM Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak: The Government should understand how seriousness of impacts from the negative publicity generated by the caning of three Muslim women and controversy surrounding the use of the word “Allah”. The caning of three Muslim women has caused concerns not only internally but also externally. To date, the words ‘malaysia muslim caning’ has reached more than 6.50 million hitting results in the Google. The problems of Church burning followed from the usage of the word “Allah” have clearly shown to the world that Malaysia is longer a peaceful nation… Why the Government has allowed the demonstrations on “Allah” to be held??? Even though these ware held within the compound of the mosques, it is still against the laws of country and definitely is very bad for the Nation.

Coffee has been around since time immemorial. However with your visit to a tiny wooden kopitiam, everyone is wondering about the coffee which you have drunk. How thick ? How many scoops of sugar ? How much creamer ? Being called to be innovative, why not give it a name ? Perdana coffee ? Satu coffee ? One coffee ? Najib coffee ? It can also help to promote tourism. Whenever some tourists come round, Malaysians will introduce the yet to be named coffee which was drank by you.

You know what? You should do something like- a very unique shopping place like the japan thingfor example : akihabara etc… stuff ^^ xD ahaha sorry for my childish suggestion. -_-'' … OHH ya by the way, As i was travelling around Sarawak last year , I notice that most roads near Limbang is pretty much .,. bad LOL.. soo ya since Limbang will have the lumpur bath attraction thing.. why don't you try to develop Limbang into a better town? What else can we do to lure tourists and ensure that they have a unique and enjoyable experience residents? emm better toilets and better air condition taxi xD.

OH YAAA by the way, the taste of Malaysian food in KL is just simply taste different than in sarawak.. you wanna know why? Well, that's because.. most of the people who make those stuff in shop,mostly is none malaysian.. well that's what my friend told me xD ahahha .

Dah banyak idea dikeluarkan tetapi siapa yang Akan melaksanakannya. Itulah masaalahnya, jadi idea Akan tinggal idea saja. Tempat yang menarik tetap tak dikunjungi. Akhirnya hanya tinggal khayalan. Apakata adakan cadangan secara berbentuk kertaskerja kemudian buat pemilihan terbaik Dan laksanakan. Mari kita mulakan mulai sekarang.

I AGREE 100 AND TWENTY PERCENT WITH VIJAY`S COMMENT DATED 12TH FEBRUARY 2010 REFARDING 1MALAYSIA PORTAL,VERY INTERACTIVE BUT NON RESPONSIVE,whereby all the information given by the general public are being channeled through this portal but alas….. information is only an information with no action been taken and even then IT IS VERY VERY HARD TO PUBLISH YOUR OPINION AND INFORMATION….. so what kind of 1Malaysia is this???????

The only reason people visit Malaysia is because it is cheap and normally only ever visit once. The traffic is shocking because the police are too lazy to get out there and fine the offenders for queuing across intersections, running red lights and double parking. The place is filthy because most Malaysians are too lazy to put rubbish in bins, much easier to just drop it at their feet.Watch all the rubbish floating down the drains next time it rains. Roads and footpaths are a disgrace and down right dangerous. A friend visiting, recently broke her ankle as the footpath gave way under neath. It is hard for a country to progress when its people are just too lazy to bother.Look at the 80,000 jobs available in eating places where only 80 Malaysians bothered to apply.No wonder they have to bring in Foreign workers to do these jobs.

ASSALAMMUALAIKUM YAB, SAYA SEORANG IBU TUNGGAL YANG TIDAK BERPUAS HATI DENGAN TINDAKAN POLIS TERHADAP ANAK SAYA YANG BERNAMA ZULHIALMI.SAYA INGIN MEMBERITAHU YAB YANG POLIS DAERAH RAUB BERAT SEBELAH DAN SAYA DAPATI SESETENGAH POLIS ADALAH AHLI PEKIDA.SAYA AMAT KECEWA DENGAN SIKAP POLIS ITU.SAYA BERHARAP YAB MENGAMBIL TINDAKAN ATAS KES INI.SEKIAN TERIMA KASIH.

DEAR YAB, Saya ingin menyatakan pandangan mengenai isu KAMPUNG BARU.Jika produk baru dihasilkan melalui pembangunan di kampung baru dengan menjalankan program HOMESTAY.Ini dapat membantu dalam memberi sumber pendapatan yang berterusan kepada penduduk di tempat berkenaan di samping dapat pertahankan tempat mereka.Tidaklah menjadi OKB untuk sementara waktu.Ia juga dapat membantu dalam meningkatkan aktiviti pelancongan dan memperkenalkan keistimewaan Malaysia yang pelbagai dari segi pembinaan,makanan,etnik,serta sebagainya.Tidak semestinya pembangunan menjadi daya tarikan kepada pelancong.Saya ingin memohon maaf jika pandangan ini menguris hati pihak lain.=)

The appointment date 13th March, an Afternoon tea with you Honorable Dato Seri is just round the corner. I pray to be among the 300 selected 1Malaysians. Earlier I have express to share my exclusive idea in boosting our tourism industry and today I received an invitation from the Johor Tourism Department to attend the Majlis Penyampaian Anugerah Pelancongan Negeri Johor on March 12,2010. A good start! But I look forward for a cuppa with you sir. How do we know that we are the chosen one? Thank you.

Hi Dato' Sri, I am hosting a birthday party at Botani Garden for my godson, this Sunday . I am renting their Anjung which has a nice view. But, I am dissappointed that i could not use their facilities such as chairs and tables which are available. I was made to understand that they are there for internal programs.I tried to reason with the management, however, they could not do much since they are governed by some rules, procedures etc which I find hard to comprehend. Why can't the park be a one stop centre? and more crowd friendly? sighhh….i find this such a petty mindboggling issue. Thank you in advance.

The Formula 1 is a great idea in introducing Malaysia to the world and for bringing tourists here. May I suggest that the government constructs an express road exclusively for Formula 1 clients with the help of the financially able Formula 1 organization ? There are other tourists both international and local who are using the everyday highways and roads to get to KLIA and LCCT. While the F 1 is going on, the planes can still fly on schedule and the public transport do not need to be jammed. In fact, the traffic branch of PDRM can station more personnel to do its’ direction duties if the traffic light fail at that moment. Tourists come in and out everyday. The F 1 is held in Sepang twice a year the most.

Feel very proud to watch & hear the tourism Malaysia lifely theme song in Channel Newsasia & CNN to promote Maalysia as Truly Asia. The tourism agengy is doing a great job to make Mlalaysia a welknown diversified country.

Sebagai penganalisis bidang pelancongan, saya tentunya bangga jika jumlah pelancong bertambah, tetapi perlu di pastikan adakah kadar okupansi dan kadar harga purata bilik semangkin meningkat? Jika ini tidak seiring, kita perlu gusar juga, kerana ada di antara pelancong adalah bukan pelancong sebenar. di harap kementerian dapat memberi laporan sebegini juga kepada Dato'. Saya menggunakan pentunjuk prestasi hotel dan resort di Malaysia, jika petunjuknya sangat baik, wajarlah di katakan tahap pelancongan kita juga adalah baik. Ramai blogger memberi pelbagai cadangan, tetapi sebenarnya produk2 agro, eco dsb. telah lama di pasarkan. pergi sahaja ke agensi2 pelancongan, mereka boleh merancang perjalanan.

Salam 1Malaysia Sebenarnya banyak masalah inap desa yang berlaku. Tetapi perkara ini tidak diketengahkan kerana siapa pengusaha inap desa ini? kebanyakannya adalah orang² kampung yang bekerja sebagai petani, nelayan dan bekerja sendiri dimana suara² mereka kurang didengari. masalah ini timbul dimana inap desa yang melalui orang tengah @ penyelaras yang hanya ingin memenuhkan poket sendiri. saya khuatir inap desa ini akan tinggal nama sahaja disebabkan sikap segelintir penyelaras yang sebegini. sebenarnya ramai peserta inap desa yang menjalankan aktiviti ini melalui penyelaras telah tidak aktif disebabkan rasa tertindas. Jika ingin inap desa ini terus maju, harap tiada lagi penyelaras² yang bersikap tamak & mementigkan poket sendiri.

Dear Prime Minister, It is an utter shame that the historic Pudu jail building will be demolished completely to make way for roads and new buidlings. This jail is part of our history and could be a boon for tourism if even part of the building was preserved as a museum. When i was in Gotland in Sweden, we even stayed in a prison that had been converted to a mini-hotel/hostel for travellers. It is so sad for us to lose parts of our history to rampant, unplanned modernisation. Please see if there is something that can be done to preserve this jail as a museum or memoriam. Thank you, sasi

Dear Prime Minister, We believe Terengganu have the potential to be a top tourist destination with its many beautiful islands, kenyir lake, national park to name a few and its many traditional and cultural varieties and its laidback charm which appeals not only to locals but foreigners alike. It is sad to say that it is being undersell and not enough is done by the Tourism Ministry and state governemnt to really develope the state to appeal to the targeted tourist. We don't see much tourist from the Middle East, China and India there. I'm sure with some thought put in jointly by the state governemnt and Ministry of Tourism, Terengganu tourism industry will be booming in no time.

Dear YAB Najib, I applaud the recent curb of prostitution in KL Sentral Hotel area. However tonight(26-Jun-2010), I notice that area(used to called Thambipillay) has again bloosom with a lot of illegal gambling and prostitution walking around that area. I was futhur shock when a pimp approach me while I was eating at White Coffee restaurant and he futhur boast that he has many nice prostitute to choose from, ranging from underage malay school girl to indonesia virgin. Out of curiousity, I ask the pimp, don't you scare that police will raid this area again? He just laugh and said they have paid bribe to police and will receive first information when there is a raid and normally giving police bribe, will let them alone??? Therefore I am curious to know your opinion as to how to control this old trade and prevent furthur police bribe. I as a Malaysian feel ashame that our country still has such black sheep to prevent us from growing! Yours Truthly, Marcus The frustated.

Dear Prime Minister, We have recently read in the mainstream news lately about Teluk Yu's 3 dead 23 hospitalized, Kedah several hospitalized and 3 popular picnic location closed and in Johore RM30 million spend on cleaning up river. We were wondering isn't it cheaper and more fruitful to solve the problem if the local government put up signs to inform the public about high fines for littering or throwing things in the river and place enforcement personnel to patrol popular picnic venues and rivers. This is the only way the non- civic conscious Malaysians will change their bad habit of littering. We are sure this method is by anyway better than the present method of keep on cleaning rivers which cost million of dollars and waiting for somebody to die and than close up the spot to have it clean up. Mr. Prime Minister, please take some urgent action if not the above before another poor Malaysian die on your watch !!! Eric Yeap Project REVIVE

Assalamualaikum Dato Seri,

Saya terpanggil untuk meluahkan perasaan saya tengtang skim Malaysia My Second Home. Saya rasa skim ini adalah skim yang tidak memberi apa apa manfaat kepada rakyat kita sendiri, selain daripada rakyat asing yang membelinya dan developer sahaja yang mendapat faedah dan untung lumayan. Oleh yang demikian, kerajaan mestilah mengkaji semula manfaat yang rakyat Malaysia dapat dari skim ini. Skim ini dalah meyerupai skim menjual Negara pada rakyat asing secara halal.Sedikit demi sedikit habih dimiliki oleh rakyat asing. Apakah untung atau faedah nya kepada negara, malah skim ini adalah satu penyumbang kearah appreciation harga real estate di tanah air.

Rata rata, sebagai penduduk sal Pulau Pinang, saya rasa projek perumahan yang sedang dibina adalah amat terlalu jauh sekali dapat kami membelinya kerana harga rumah adalah teramat tinggi sekali. Yang berduit pun hanya layak tinggal di rumah ”kotak” di pulau nindah ini. Kami terpaksa bergelut bukan saya dengan penduduk tempatan bukan melayu berpendapatan tinggi, bahkan terpaksa bergomol dengan orang kaya luar negara jugak kerana ingin memiliki rumah.

Penduduk Melayu habis ditolak ke tanah besar sekiranya hendak memiliki rumah yang harganya yang banyak kurang dari yang dijual di Pulau itu sendiri. Bukit 2 dah di serata pulau ini habih ditarah bersama sama dengan pokok pokok yang berhijaun. Sekarang ini bukit bukit indah ini sudah tiada pun, diganti dengan ‘kota’ dan mahligai orang kaya.

keindahan semula jadi bagi kami rakyat tempatan di’rampas’ milik nya, kerana nak menyenag lenangkan orang orang kaya saperi Singapura, Bandladesh, India dll. Padahal, sebagai rakyat Malaysia, kita tak dibenarkan membeli rumah pun disini.Orang Malaysia yang bekerja di Bangladesh, hanya boleh mengeluarkan sebanyak 50% sahaja gaji kerana sekatan kerajaan tersebut, akan tetapi tidak pulak kerajaan malaysia kenakan syarat yang sama! Persoalannya, sekiranya kerajaannya sendiri begitu ketat sekali tentang aliran wang keluar, bagaimana kah pembeli pembeli rumah ini dapat membeli rumah yang bernilai beratus-ratus ribu ringgit, kalau tidak menyeludup keluar duitduit itu.

Bangladesh adalah sebuah negara miskin, tetapi banyak juagak yang millionaires, jangan terkejut. Sama jugak dengan India dan China.

Negara kita bukan lah saperti Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Amerika yang peratusan penduduknya dengan adakah sangat kecil sekali., berbandingkan dengan keluasan tanah negara mereka itu, Harga pun berpatutan.

Rata rata, oleh kerana program ini, rakyat asing dapat membeli rumah di Malaysia dengan senang saja. Apalah tu USD100,000.00 bagi mereka yang hendak membeli rumah disini. Ini adalah satu perkara kecil saja bagi mereka.Mereka jugak diberi layanan khas apabila hendak membawa kenderaan mereka tanpa membayar cukai pun, padahal rakyat sendiri terpaksa menyeluk poket masing masing membayar cukai kerajaan!
Pada mereka dengan tukaran wang asing yang baik, rumah di Malaysia adalah ”kacang” berbanding dengan negara mereka.

Saya rasa cukup lah setakat menjemput para pelancong datang ke negara indah ini, tak payahlah sampai kerajaan memberi kesenangan sampai begini pada rakyat asing. Kita ini, orang Malaysia terlau baik sangat berlebih lebih, setakat berpada pada saja, pun sudah cukup, Jangan lah generasi yang akan datang terpaksa bergelut dengan anak anak rakyat asing pulak kerana bapa bapa mereka adalah orang kaya.

Saya ingin meminta kerajaan supaya mengaji semula polisi ini, yang sedang menular. Jika penkajian tidak dibuat menggibal polisi ini, maka rakyat akan menjadi itik kehausan dikolam sendiri; anak dirumah dibiarkan, kera dihutan disusukan,. Hentikan lah saja MM2H ini,

one thing that really spoils malaysia for tourists is the terrible rubbish around beautiful nature spots. i love going to waterfalls as most tourists do but here I find people treat the natural habital like a rubbish bin. why is this so? Ecotourism is a hugely sucesful but unless Malaysians respect their beautiful environment, this precious resource will never reach its potential.
