SHAH ALAM – Despite the recent massive flood in Pakistan, it’s business as usual for the country’s tourism industry as the tourist spots were not affected by the natural disaster.
Pakistan High Commission counsellor Yasir Kayani said tourist spots such as Kashmir, Babusar and more were not exposed to flood risk.
"Only several provinces were affected, it didn’t damage the tourism spots and tourists can come visit Pakistan anytime.
"We are still under rehabilitation and precautions if there will be a second wave,” he said.
Yasir said they were currently focused on the flood mitigation process to reduce the impact of the natural disaster which includes building dams and water storages.
Though water storages were available in the nation, the capacity of flood right now was still more than what it could hold.
"The only remedy is to build more water storages,” he said.
Yasir also shared the difference between the elections in Pakistan compared to Malaysia.
He said the politicians could contest in many seats but only could choose one if they scored many seats.
Yasir said this during a visit to Karangkraf Media Group headquarters, here.
During the visit, Yasir and his delegation met with Karangkraf Chairman Datuk Hussamuddin Yaacub, Sinar Karangkraf chief executive officer Farah Hussamuddin, Sinar Harian group editor-in-chief Rozaid Abdul Rahman (left) and Sinar Harian News Editor Zamri Rambli.
