The Covid-19 Pandemic and Its Repercussions on the Malaysian Tourism Industry
Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management, May-June 2021, Vol. 9, No. 3, 135-145 doi: 10.17265/2328-2169/2021.03.001 D D AV I D PUBLISHING The Covid-19 Pandemic and Its Repercussions on the Malaysian Tourism Industry Noriah Ramli, Majdah Zawawi International Islamic University Malaysia, Jalan Gombak, Malaysia The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) has hit the nation’s tourism sector hard. With the closure of borders, industry players should now realize that they cannot rely and focus too much on international receipts but should also give equal balance attention to local tourist and tourism products. Hence, urgent steps must be taken by the government to reduce the impact of this outbreak on the country’s economy, by introducing measures to boost domestic tourism and to satisfy the cravings of the tourism needs of the population. It is not an understatement that Malaysians often look for tourists’ destinations outside Malaysia for fun and adventure, ignoring the fact that Malaysia has a lot to offer to tourist in terms of sun, sea, culture, heritage, gastronomy, and adventure. National geography programs like “Tribal Chef” demonstrate how “experiential tourism” resonates with the young and adventurous, international and Malaysian alike. The main purpose of this paper is to give an insight about the effect of Covid-19 pandemic to the tourism and hospitality services industry in Malaysia. What is the immediate impact of Covid-19 pandemic on Malaysia’s tourism industry? What are the initiatives (stimulus package) taken by the Malaysian government in order to ensure tourism sustainability during Covid-19 pandemic? How to boost tourist confidence? How to revive Malaysia’s tourism industry? How local government agencies can help in promoting and coordinating domestic tourism? These are some of the questions which a response is provided in the paper. -

Construction Sector Remains Challenging As the Federal Government Is Reviewing Ongoing Infrastructure Projects to Reduce Costs by 20-33%
4 October 2018 Waiting for the other shoe to drop Sector Update The outlook for the Construction sector remains challenging as the federal government is reviewing ongoing infrastructure projects to reduce costs by 20-33%. Projects that could be affected include the Construction Klang Valley MRT Line 2 (MRT2) and LRT Line 3 (LRT3), Pan Borneo Highway (PBH) and Gemas-Johor Bahru Electrified Double Tracking (EDT). There are opportunities in state government projects in Penang and Sarawak. Maintain our NEUTRAL call. Top BUYs are IJM, Suncon Neutral (maintain) and HSS. Potential MRT2 cost cuts We gather that the MRT2 project could see a 25% reduction in cost to RM24bn from an initial estimate of RM32bn. The MMC Gamuda Joint Absolute Performance (%) Venture (JV) will be the most affected as it is the main contractor for the underground section and the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the above- 1M 3M 12M ground section of the MRT2. Other listed contractors that could be affected AQRS (6.4) (14.9) (37.9) due to ongoing work on above-ground packages secured include Ahmad Gamuda (10.0) 2.8 (37.1) HSS Eng 2.2 33.3 (9.5) Zaki, Gadang, George Kent, IJM Corp, MRCB, MTD ACPI, Mudajaya, IJM Corp (6.3) 1.7 (45.9) SunCon, TRC, TSR and WCT. Since the cost reductions will come from MRCB 0.7 15.8 (23.2) the reduction in the scope of works, we believe only the contract values will Suncon (0.4) (6.5) (37.4) be reduced while profit margins should be preserved. -
