PETALING JAYA: Malaysian traders should not increase their prices when selling to tourists, says Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
Such practices, he said, can give the country a bad reputation, citing cases when tourists had to fork out RM15 for roti canai and RM10 for three pieces of pisang goreng.
