Government's responsibility to provide funding to promote Sabah tourism

KOTA KINABALU: It is the "duty and responsibility'' of the Federal Government to assist Sabah in all areas, including providing funding for tourism, says Datuk Pang Nyuk Ming.

The state tourism, environment and culture assistant minister was responding to a statement by Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Aziz, who said Sabah and Sarawak might not get funding from his ministry if they did not implement a proposed tourism service fee of between RM5 and RM30 on each hotel room booking.
