Malaysia told to install Tamil signboards at airports
Kuala Lumpur:Malaysia 's Tourism Ministry has been urged to install Tamil signboards and announcements at airports in order to cater to non-English speaking Indians.
The Star quoted Malaysian Indian Congress Youth secretary R. Sivaraj, as saying
that the government should ensure hassle-free guidance for Tamil-speaking tourists.
Sivaraj expressed surprise over how could the Tourism Minister Dr Ng Yen Yen presume
that most Indian tourists were proficient in English. "There are tourists from
South India who only know Tamil," he said. Earlier, Dr Ng Yen Yen had told the
parliament that Tamil was not included in the promotional Malaysia Truly Asia
DVD as most Indian visitors were from the middle-income group and were proficient
in English.
