KUCHING: The Sarawak state government has withdrawn its representative in the Malaysia Tourism Board with immediate effect.

The Chief Minister's Office, in a statement on Monday, said the state government deemed its representation in Tourism Malaysia as unnecessary as this would be duplicating the role and functions of the Sarawak Tourism Promotion Board.
