SEPANG (Feb 10): The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (Motac) has proposed that Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) explore ways to ensure goods and food sold at airports are priced reasonably. Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said the ministry had received complaints from tourists and the public over higher prices at airport outlets compared with those outside. Also present was MAHB managing director Datuk Mohd Izani Ghani. Tiong also expressed hope that MAHB would provide more shop lots offering local food in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2026 to better promote Malaysian cuisine to both foreign and domestic tourists. Commenting on the ShopLAH campaign, he said the initiative enhances the shopping experience for tourists arriving at the country’s main gateways.
