I know readers have been watching the Tourism Malaysia pitch saga unfold across our pages in recent months and quite a few individuals have been charged with their cases now in court. Hopefully, the truth will surface.
In the meantime, a little bird told me something about what’s happening at Tourism Malaysia but I can’t confirm if it is true.

Should the government have a panel of external experts to advise on pitches to ensure it is getting the best outcome, as in the case of Tourism campaigns which potentially impact billions and cost millions?
Personally, I feel the government deserves the best advisors in this regard and I am happy to assemble a team of world-class experts (with no vested interests) for the task.
