00:00Honourable Minister, Malaysia has achieved as the best Muslim tourist destination in 2022,

00:09the number of Muslim tourists in Malaysia is 2 million.

00:14My question to the Honourable Minister,

00:17what are the strategies and programs implemented by MOTEC

00:22to increase Muslim tourism in Malaysia through the agency under MOTEC,

00:28i.e. Islamic Tourism Center, ATC.

00:31Because I am disappointed,

00:33the video promotion in Malaysia in 2026,

00:37there is no mosque picture to show Malaysia as the best destination for Muslim tourism.

00:46Thank you, Honourable Minister.

00:48This is the problem.

00:51I have answered many times in the Surah Al-Kahf.

00:55Those are just the words of the video.

00:58We just want to promote, not to promote the video.

01:02We just want to launch the logo of the video.

01:07Our video will be released in the evening.

01:10It will be finalized and released.

01:13Don't just politicize.

01:16Our video will be released that day.

01:18We just want to release the UNESCO building.

01:23Don't misunderstand.

01:24Don't promote it.

01:26Don't embarrass our country.

01:29If so,

01:31how can we promote it in Malaysia in 2026?

01:36This is the problem.

01:38We are now,

01:40I have tried,

01:41we have asked the ITC to defeat,

01:46but more aggressively,

01:48to promote Muslim family tourism.

01:52We have a new CEO.

01:54In three months,

01:56he will take over.

01:58We will be more aggressive towards Muslim family tourism.

02:06But,

02:07don't just say,

02:09I will promote it in China.

02:11We will be annoyed.

02:13But we must admit,

02:15China is a big market.

02:17And more tourists will come.

02:20We have to spend money.

02:22For non-Muslim food,

02:25there is no profit.

02:26Only.

02:27For Muslim food,

02:28there are a lot of people from China.

02:30They eat it too.

02:31So, I hope,

02:33all of us,

02:34we come together,

02:36to campaign for VC Malaysia.

02:39That's all. Thank you.
