00:00The Kedah state government has no plans to promote Langkawi as a tourist island preferred

00:06by Muslims, says Menteri Besar Sanusi Noor.

00:10Sanusi said Langkawi did not need such an approach due to its unique attractions that

00:14were capable of drawing tourists from various backgrounds, Barita Harian reported.

00:19He said the matter of promoting Langkawi as a Muslim-preferred destination has never been

00:23discussed at the state government level, adding that the island is one of the top ten islands

00:28in the world.

00:29Sanusi was responding to a proposal by Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Khairul

00:34Firdaus Akbar Khan, to make Langkawi a preferred Muslim destination to Wu tourists.

00:39The Menteri Besar also said the issue of promoting Langkawi as a preferred Muslim destination

00:44should be stopped as it had sparked unnecessary controversy while the state government worked

00:48on revitalizing the tourism sector.

00:51Sanusi said Langkawi contributes billions to the country's tourism sector and there

00:55is a need to safeguard its prestige, not just limit it to Muslims.
