Owners of these premises should be fined or make the public pay to use them. After all, the public using these toilets are not blameless too.!<BR/><BR/>Dear Fauzia,<BR/><BR/>You are spot on! I've also seen our local tourists suffer in silence when the chalets are rundown or when the food is bad or when service is poor. They would rather grudgingly pay and complaint behind the service providers' back. And not all service providers welcome negative feedback. Sometimes, it's better to just write to the relevant authorities.<BR/><BR/>Dear da real deal,<BR/><BR/>I can't agree with you more. Not all of them want to take responsibilities for what happens in their kawasan..<BR/><BR/>TQAhmad A Talibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962443059463627516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-77431156312863700042008-08-13T17:24:00.000+08:002008-08-13T17:24:00.000+08:00When it comes to Malaysia Tourism - Let's starting...When it comes to Malaysia Tourism - Let's starting with public toilet first - the most basic fundamental needs for rakyat and foreigners!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-28015517960920194662008-08-13T15:12:00.000+08:002008-08-13T15:12:00.000+08:00Looks like the DG won't able to do anything nowMoh...Looks like the DG won't able to do anything now<BR/><BR/>Mohd.

Service substandard. <BR/><BR/>I have heard complaints from those that visited the famous holiday club and five star hotels -- that Cherating was 'indah khabar dari rupa'. Have stoppped recommending Cherating to my foreign friends. Sad.<BR/><BR/>I have a suggestion ... stop any more huge billboards selling the individual states along the KLIA highway, and use this money to bring up service and facilities in the major tourist spots.<BR/><BR/>Tourism Malaysia ought to take a breather from Selling, and must start delivering!<BR/><BR/>SayangmalaysiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-38908810924050460002008-08-12T13:00:00.000+08:002008-08-12T13:00:00.000+08:00Salam DatukThe few times that I went to Cherating,...Salam Datuk<BR/>The few times that I went to Cherating, it had always been Club Med. <BR/>I have yet to be enticed to the other parts of Cherating although like you said, there are other hotels and resorts outside the realms of Club Med.<BR/>Where tourism is concerned, we have to bear in mind that we're not dealing with foreign tourists alone. Locals also make the numbers in terms of money spent.<BR/>If the foreigners don't find these places enticing, what more the locals.<BR/>I would think if you can meet the needs of the discerning local tourists, you would have no problems satisfying the foreigners.<BR/>Also, I don't think our tourism officials have gone out enough locally to check out these places.Fauziah Ismailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138757396818642239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026991266397572875.post-80707436869451778492008-08-12T12:17:00.000+08:002008-08-12T12:17:00.000+08:00Cherating is a nice place but the State Government...Cherating is a nice place but the State Government has not able to capitalise on the area.

I am from kuantan and whenever I go back 'balik kampung' occasion, I have never missed do my routine...cursing the local government for lack of ideas and effort to develop Kuantan and Pahang in general. <BR/>If this is their standard of achievement, than anybody could comfortably seat on their chair and take fat salary every month.<BR/><BR/>It is a big embarrasing for me to watch their faces in TV talk about politics...only politics.....none of them seriously focus on ways to develop the state.
