Overseas newspaper paints bad image of Malaysia

Tuesday March 9, 2010


LAST week, I was in Bangalore, India and stayed at the Ista Hotel. The newspaper provided is DNA (Daily News & Analysis).

On its Feb 22 edition, the newspaper provided damaging information about Malaysia under “yourworld” which gives a brief description of countries around the world daily.

DNA provided a brief description of our history, population, economic activities etc.

However, there was a paragraph that described Malaysia as a destination and transit point for the trafficking of women and children for sexual purposes.

The newspaper quoted that the information is from the CIA Factbook.

What have Wisma Putra and our embassy in India and US doing to correct this wrong information?

TAN CHEE WAN,

Subang Jaya.
