KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 — The Malaysia Budget & Business Hotel Association said today Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing’s assistance of a foreign visitor at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport recently will boost tourists’ confidence in visiting the country.

“As a minister of tourism, arts and culture of Malaysia, he has been responsible to ensure that the country's tourism industry recovers and his actions are a positive action that will give a positive image and raise the confidence level of foreign tourists to visit Malaysia,” he said in a statement here.

In his statement, the Bintulu MP also claimed to have been told that there were Immigration officers who allegedly asked for money in order to release detained foreign tourists, claiming that there were some who allegedly asked for up to RM3,000 to be released from detention including for the flight ticket to return to the country of origin.

Tiong later said he was grateful that his presence at the airport has now exposed the alleged existence of corruption among certain officers and alleged chronic abuse of powers at Malaysia’s entry points.
