CULTURAL, Arts and Tourism Ministry has assured Malaccans that more tourism projects will be carried out in the state to repay the RM100,000 loss incurred when potted plants were carted away by the crowd during the national Christmas celebration at Hang Tuah Mall last December.
State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Datuk Wira Poh Ah Tiam, replying to Datuk Abdul Kadir Daud (BN–Durian Tunggal), said the state government had requested that the ministry compensate the loss because the master of ceremonies at the function announced that the crowd could take home the plants.
