KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 — The government has allocated RM1 million for former Ferrari Formula One team boss Jean Todt to spend over two years as Malaysia’s Tourism ambassador.
“One million in Europe gets you nothing nowadays,” she said, defending the appointment.
She added that Todt was chosen for his international presence and connectivity, which would give Malaysia greater visibility.
Ng claimed that Todt had personally helped the ministry make influential contacts in Paris, including a top film producer, magazine publisher and aides of French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
Her claim that the allocation is for two years nevertheless contradicts the announcement she made in May regarding Todt’s appointment, when she said it was for just one year.
JEAN Todt, the former executive director of Formula 1 Ferrari, has been chosen as Tourism Malaysia’s ambassador for a year.
Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen told reporters yesterday that the appointment letter would be handed over to Todt in Paris.
Asked why Todt was chosen as the agency’s ambassador, Dr Ng said: “Because Jean Todt is well known internationally. He believes in Malaysia. He has a wide network of friends.”
Dr Ng said Todt, who is also the fiance of Ipoh-born international actress Datuk Michelle Yeoh, applied to join the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme and received the approval letter last month.
Tu dia aih.
Ni sorang lagi Mak Menteri di zaman DS Najib. RM 1 juta di Europe tak jadi pa.
Pasal tu bagi kat tunang Datuk Michelle Yeoh ni satu juta untuk promosi Malaysia mula kata satu tahun, tapi kenyataan baru kata 2 tahun pula.
Kata YB Azmin dalam parlimen tadi tambang yang dituntut saja pun RM 300 ribu lebih.
Itulah dia apa yang dibuat untuk mempromosi negara kita keluar.
Lihat dan bayangkanlah kemana duit pembayar cukai yang di belanjakan oleh Pak Menteri dan Mak Menteri kita , bagi mereka satu juta tu tak dak pa.
Cuba berjalan sikit kedalam kampong dan lihat apa yang terjadi di Raub atau mana-mana kawasan yang masih lagi belum ada air paip dan belum ada lagi api elektrik serta jalan masih lagi tanah merah. Bila panas berdebu dan bila hujan selut membelit tayar basikal dan motosikal, tunggu sampai bila lagi nak di tarkan.
Kalau kepada duta pelancungan diberi begitu jumlah masih dikatakan tak ada nilai diEropah, tak tahu nak katalah lagi ana banyak mana lagi yang nak di penghabih oleh mereka wang rakyat ini . Kalau bagi royalti kepada negeri yang keluarkan minyak saperti termaktub dalam perjanjian dan perlemgbagaan tak apa la jugak, ni pi bagi kat orang Perancis yang kebetulan bertunang dengan orang Malaysia.
YB Azmin juga ada bertanya adakah maklumat yang menyatakan sebagian dari sebuah Pulau di Trengganu telah diberikan kepada Datuk Todt ni, masih belum dijawab oleh Menteri lagi, tunggu esok baru Menteri nak beri jawapan.
