Don’t let tourists shy away from Malaysia
READ with disgust and anger the letter by a foreigner in “Tourist abused by cabby who refused to engage meter” (The Star, March 20). Is this the way Malaysians treat our visitors? How can the taximan be so rough on foreigners? I am deeply disturbed by this trend.
Such behaviour must be strongly condemned. It is not acceptable, especially when Malaysia needs the tourist dollar to keep from sinking into a recession.
There have been far too many reports of errant taximen, from locals and tourists, and nothing seems to be done to address this.
I hope the authorities will act on the foreigner’s complaint as we have to send the right signal that visiting Malaysia is a beautiful experience for tourists.
If our behaviours are allowed to continue like the taxi driver, no visitors will come to our country and we, Malaysians, will end up the ultimate losers.
BULBIR SINGH,
Seremban.
