SIBU, Malaysia - The international perception of Malaysia's safety is crucial for foreign tourists' confidence in visiting the country, according to Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing. National unity plays a vital role in projecting a positive image of the nation, and all parties must collaborate to bolster it.
Strengthening the economy, tackling poverty, and enhancing the well-being of citizens should be given greater emphasis. Minister Tiong emphasized during the 2026 Navy Veterans Samudera Heritage Charity Gala Dinner that publicity alone is insufficient to resolve issues; addressing people's problems is essential. Organized by the Sarawak branch of the Royal Malaysian Navy Veterans Association (PVTLDM), the event saw Minister Tiong announce a RM20,000 contribution to support the association's efforts in caring for veterans' welfare.
