Taylor Swift’s Singapore shows an expensive lesson for Malaysia, say experts - superadmin - 03-06-2024 PETALING JAYA: Industry experts have described the Taylor Swift concerts currently taking place in Singapore as an expensive lesson for the Malaysian government, as they could have helped boost the country’s economy. Speaking to FMT, Karyawan president Freddie Fernandez said the concerts would not only give Singapore’s economy a tremendous boost, but would also place the nation firmly on the world map as a must-visit destination in the region. “With Visit Malaysia Year coming up in 2026, we hope that the Malaysian government will not be left behind and will give its full support and encouragement to efforts to bring in prominent international acts. “The Malaysian government should not only encourage them (international acts) to come and perform here, but also provide the necessary funding and incentives which will in turn generate huge numbers in terms of tourist arrivals from the region and beyond,” Fernandez said. - More -
