Tourism players welcome relaxation proposal


Welcome boost: With the suggestion to relax curbs for two-dose vaccine recipients, it is hoped that people will be able to travel and eat at a food court as shown in this file picture taken before the pandemic.

Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) Penang Chapter chairman K. Raj Kumar said the suggestion, if materialised, would help inject some life into the fragile industry which had been badly hit by the pandemic since last year.
