Johor to attract golfers from Japan, China and South Korea
The state will step up efforts to lure golfers to Johor to boost its sports tourism industry.
Johor Tourism Committee chairman Hoo Seong Chang said the state had 29 golf courses to offer.
“We are targeting golfers from Japan, China and South Korea. The first group of golfers from South Korea is expected to arrive by the end of the month,” he told a press conference here recently.
He also said that talks with Chinese and Japanese travel agents to promote golfing were going well.
“The sports tourism industry is growing in the region. We feel the state should capitalise on its golf courses to rejuvenate the tourism industry this year,” he said, adding that golfers from the three countries were the most likely to take up golfing holiday offers in Johor.

Frequent visitors to Malaysia
Frequent visitors to Malaysia can "fast track" through immigration
Singaporeans who travel frequently to Malaysia can now "fast track" through immigration.
If they have recently entered Malaysia at least four times in a month, they can apply for a special pass which allows clearance through either Woodlands (above) or Tuas checkpoint without having to fill up the white immigration card.
With the Malaysia Automated Clearance System (MACS) pass - a sticker embedded with a Radio Frequency Identification chip that is stuck in the passport - they can zip through immigration clearance in Malaysia without worrying if their passport has been stamped.
The MACS pass costs RM30 (S$12.50) and is valid for one year. Spouses and children of frequent travellers can also apply for the pass.
For application details, visit www.imi.gov.my.

Fuel price by car size
Fuel price by car size
The bigger your car, the more you will have to pay for petrol from May 1.
This is because the Government is going to change the way fuel is subsidised.
It is planning for a fuel pricing mechanism that will ensure only targeted groups, particularly those from the lower-income, will receive fuel subsidy.
Also, foreigners who drive into the country to fill up their tanks will not be eligible for subsidy and will have to pay more for fuel.
“The bigger the engine, the higher petrol will cost,” Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said yesterday.
The move was based on the assumption that those in the lower income group would normally drive a car with a lower engine capacity and thus be eligible for the subsidy, he said.
“For RON95 petrol, the subsidy is 30 sen per litre. The current price of RON95 petrol is RM1.80 compared with the actual price of RM2.10.
“Malaysians who are not eligible are those who drive a higher engine capacity car or non-Malaysians. They will have to pay RM2.10 or more for RON95,” he told a press conference after launching the new corporate identity of the F&N soft drinks division here yesterday.
