Loke: Taxi drivers to get a makeover for Visit Malaysia 2026
KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — The Transport Ministry plans to provide basic language and driver etiquette training for taxi drivers ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026), said its Minister, Anthony Loke Siew Fook. Loke said this is important because the taxi industry is more than just transportation, but represents the heartbeat of public service and serves as the first impression of the country for tourists. He added that the government has also extended the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) contribution incentive from 10 per cent to 30 per cent to safeguard the safety and welfare of taxi drivers. 'These reforms are ongoing, and I will continue to work with this industry to strengthen the public transport sector for the benefit of the people,' he posted on Facebook. Earlier, Loke officiated the third annual general meeting of the Malaysia Taxi, Rental Car, Limousine and Airport Taxi Association (GTSM), which gave him the opportunity to hear for himself the industry's views. As Transport Minister, he believes that meaningful reforms in the sector can only be implemented through close collaboration with industry players, such as the GTSM. — Bernama

Misuse of tourism licences to face strict action warns Tiong
KUALA LUMPUR: Firm action will be taken against the misuse of tourism licences, including dive permits, tour guide credentials, and travel agency approvals if found guilty, warned Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing. The warning follows a viral video showing a clash between a diving instructor and a foreign tourist in Semporna, Sabah. Initial findings indicate the incident began when an improperly placed air tank fell, injuring the instructor's foot, leading to a dispute that escalated into a physical confrontation. 'The case is now under formal investigation and the instructor has been arrested. Relevant enforcement agencies will work closely to uncover the full story and ensure the process is legal, fair, and transparent,' Tiong said in a Facebook post, yesterday. He added that the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) will monitor the case and address any non-compliance in tourism activities. Tiong urged tourism operators to strictly follow safety and operational guidelines to prevent similar incidents. He also stressed the importance of tourists cooperating with guides and instructors to ensure safety. 'Operators must uphold professionalism and treat guests with respect, avoiding violence, insults, or intimidation unless in clear self-defence. Respond calmly and resolve issues peacefully when faced with rude behaviour,' he said. With Visit Malaysia Year 2026 approaching, Tiong called on all tourism players to protect the country's image by ensuring visitors understand and respect Malaysia's laws, culture, and norms. 'Malaysia is known globally as a friendly and welcoming destination. Let's work together to create a safe, respectful, and professional environment for all,' he added. - Bernama

Tiong warns of action over tourism licence misuse
KUALA LUMPUR: Any misuse of tourism licences, including dive permits, tour guide credentials, and travel agency approvals, will result in firm action, says Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing. In a post on his Facebook yesterday, Tiong said the warning followed a viral video showing a clash between a diving instructor and a foreign tourist in Semporna, Sabah, which sparked public concern. Initial findings suggest the incident began during a dive trip when an air tank was placed improperly on the boat deck and accidentally dropped, injuring the instructor's foot. A dispute ensued and escalated into a physical confrontation. "The case is now under formal investigation, and the instructor has been arrested. Relevant enforcement agencies will work closely to uncover the full story and ensure the process is legal, fair, and transparent. "While investigations continue, MOTAC will monitor the case and address any non-compliance in tourism activities," he said. Tiong called on tourism operators to strictly adhere to safety and operational guidelines to prevent similar incidents, while also stressing the importance of tourists cooperating with guides and instructors to ensure their safety and that of others. He reminded operators to uphold professionalism and treat guests with respect, ensuring that no violence, insults, or intimidation occurs, except in clear cases of self-defence. He urged all parties to respond calmly and strive to resolve disputes peacefully, even when faced with rude behaviour. "As Malaysia is known globally as a friendly and welcoming destination, we take pride in our natural beauty and cultural diversity, and we welcome travellers from around the world," he said. With Visit Malaysia Year 2026 approaching, Tiong said all parties must play their part in protecting the country's image, helping every visitor better understand and respect Malaysia's laws, culture, and norms. "I call on all tourism players to work together to create a safe, respectful, and professional environment, so that both visitors and hosts can fully enjoy the best of Malaysia," he said. - BERNAMA
