PETALING JAYA: A Sarawak Pakatan Harapan (PH) leader has defended tourism, arts and culture minister Tiong King Sing over an incident in KLIA Terminal 1 and the latter’s allegations on corrupt activities involving the immigration department.
Sarawak PH secretary Alan Ling said he believed Tiong had no personal agenda when going to the airport upon learning of the difficulties faced by a Chinese national who was trying to enter the country, Borneo Post reported.
“Every minister, deputy minister and top government servant must ‘turun padang’ (go to the ground) frequently, even without prior notice, so that they can see the real situation at the location.
“Don’t plan an official visit where everything is well presented, then your visit will serve no purpose except as a mere formality,” he was quoted as saying.
