Be tourism envoys, Ng tells Malaysian students

MELBOURNE: Malaysian students in Australia are urged to become tourism ambassadors and help sell Malaysia to their fellow university mates. Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said these students were in a good position to promote a better understanding of Malaysia’s multi-racial and multi-ethnic way of life. “Reflect this multi-racial concept in your university life and make known our 1Malaysia to the rest of the world,’’ she said when visiting Malaysian students living and studying in Melbourne at Malay sia Hall.

Dr Ng, who is on a 10-day mission to promote Malaysia to New Zealand and Australia, also took time off her hectic schedule to visit a Malaysian student suffering from brain tumour living in Malaysia Hall. Evana Kamarudin, 29, a student at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, was with her mother Kintan Mohamed in their room when Dr Ng visited. Kintan, the headmistress of SK Kuala Pomson in Kajang, said she was touched by Dr Ng’s gesture.
