LURING TOURISTS FROM CHINA: The Tourism Ministry aims to attract at least one million Chinese tourists to Malaysia in 2008. Deputy Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai urged every Malaysian to play their role to promote the country to the Chinese. “The ministry is the manager and assistant manager in the effort to attract tourists to Malaysia, and you are the salesman to promote the beauty of the country to Chinese tourists,” he said at a Malaysia-China Friendship Association dinner. Lim said there were 550,000 Chinese tourists in 2004 but the number dropped to 350,000 last year.
