Tourism Board was facilitator, not organiser of Global Travel Meet, says Tiong


PETALING JAYA: Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing has dismissed claims that Muslim guests left the Global Travel Meet gala dinner early due to alcohol being served, calling the allegation “baseless and misleading”.

He said Tourism Malaysia had only played a facilitating role, using the event as an opportunity to promote the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 (VM2026) calendar.
