SIBU, Malaysia - The international reputation of Malaysia's safety is crucial to instilling confidence in foreign tourists visiting the country, stated Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing. National unity is essential in projecting a positive image of the nation, and all parties should collaborate to reinforce it.
Strengthening the economy, tackling poverty, and enhancing the overall well-being of citizens should receive increased focus. Minister Tiong emphasized that publicity alone cannot resolve issues; addressing the people's concerns is necessary. During the 2026 Navy Veterans Samudera Heritage Charity Gala Dinner, organized by the Sarawak branch of the Royal Malaysian Navy Veterans Association (PVTLDM), Tiong pledged RM20,000 to aid the group's endeavors to support veteran welfare.
