PETALING JAYA: Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing (pic) 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 Tou-rism Malaysia had only played a facilitating role, using the event as a chance to promote the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) calendar.
