KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — The Rain Rave Water Festival held on the Labour Day holiday generated an estimated RM320.4 million in overall tourism revenue, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing told Parliament this morning.
The event, which received backlash primarily from more conservative politicians, drew close to half a million visitors across all seven states it was held in. The event was held concurrently in Negeri Sembilan, Terengganu, Johor, Melaka, Kedah, Pahang and Labuan. The revenue from the six states was some RM71 million.
“So estimates indicate it contributed a total of RM370 million to the economy,” Tiong said during Minister’s Question Time.

Penang should have one every six months - it's not only good for tourism and our economy but also as a relief for our sweltering environment.👍😂😁
Many 3R types were up in arms around the event as "immoral activities" which the Government should not be involved in.

The 3R vote doesn't care about the tourism revenue.
ReplyDeleteTo them it is Duit Haram if earned through an immoral event.
The important point is Government sponsored activities MUST NOT be out of line with Islam.

Malaysia is fast reaching the point where even non-Government sponsored events, even held indoors in private premises get banned if police reports are made against it as "disrespectful of Islam".
ReplyDeletePolice will shut them down and arrest organisers and attendees under the pretext of Public Nuisance or Detrimental to Public Order.

From the Voluminous Grooming Rape Gang Report…..
ReplyDeleteMy fourth observation from the grooming gang report:
The NHS treated a 13-year-old rape victim for STIs including chlamydia in the throat and vagina, gonorrhoea, genital warts, and pelvic inflammatory disease, and later treated her again for injuries caused by gang rape, without ever once filing a safeguarding referral.
Our precious NHS, which this country treats like a second religion, is happy to lecture pregnant mothers that they are not women but “uterus havers” and “chest feeders”, yet repeatedly failed child rape victims right in front of them.
