‘Too important’ tourism industry needs financial aid now, Guan Eng tells Finance Ministry

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 — Malaysia’s tourism industry is “too important” to be set aside for later and needs financial injections now if those still in business are to survive, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said today.

“Offering loans and tax deductions or rebates is meaningless when there is no revenue or business available. Lim pointed out that government statistics showed that pre-pandemic, the tourism industry’s gross added value to the GDP in 2019 amounted to RM240 billion. He claimed the much needed financial grants for the tourism industry had been missing from the previous Perikatan Nasional government’s eight economic stimulus packages amounting to RM530 billion.
