Is Malaysia religiously extreme asks tourists after DBKL’s signboard actions

Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing criticized Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for enforcing actions against Chinese-language signboards, warning it damages Malaysia’s image as a multicultural nation. Tiong stated that such moves raise doubts about Malaysia’s inclusivity among tourists, with some questioning if the country is racist or religiously extreme. He urged DBKL to prioritize community-benefiting initiatives, like infrastructure improvements, instead of projecting an authoritarian image. Tiong emphasized that multiculturalism is Malaysia’s strength, especially as it prepares to chair Asean in 2025, calling for unity and progress over divisive racial and religious issues to enhance global competitiveness.
