Hotel associations in Malaysia have hit out at a government-led initiative to temporarily house foreign workers at hotels to curb the escalating Covid-19 cases caused by cramped living conditions at workers’ dormitories.
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia (MOTAC) said the initiative was “the best alternative at the moment” as it would also provide a lifeline to hotel operators suffering the brunt of the virus crisis.
