I SUPPORT Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi’s call for greater emphasis on safety measures in recreational activities for tourists. This is timely in light of mishaps that have befallen foreign tourists in water-based recreation activities at our island and beach resorts, the most recent being the death of a Yemeni teenager who was reported to have drowned after falling off his jet ski while attempting to take a selfie off Pantai Cenang in Langkawi.
With next year being Visit Malaysia 2020 (VMY 2020), we must not only roll out the carpet to welcome tourists but also have measures in place to ensure their safety and security.
