Can Immigration Give A Better Impression For Tourism?

Last week, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing ‘rescued’ a Chinese visitor detained at KLIA immigration. There have been alleged claims over the mistreatment of foreign visitors to Malaysia at our major entry points. We speak to Hannah Pearson, founder of Pear Anderson to understand how we need to improve our services and facilities to be more tourist friendly and provide a better first impression for the country.
