Mind your language on Chinese travellers, critics urged


PUTRAJAYA: Those concerned about the expected influx of travellers from China have been urged not to jeopardise Malaysia’s relations with that country or our own economic recovery with pointed remarks or calls for a hard-line policy.

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said the public should refrain from making negative comments regarding the arrival of tourists from China, especially on social media.
