I am sure most Malaysians know it's Visit Malaysia 2007 year and it coincides with our 50th year of independance.

Not to put down the government efforts but as a typical Malaysian I do not 'feel' much has been done to promote the event. Sure we see the posters everywhere. But is that it?

I'm sure lots of money is being poured into the campaign but I just don't see the net effect after a month into 2007.

Probably it's just me.

Still, the year is just beginning. There's still time for tourism to pick up.

The following scene is typical on a Monday 8.30 am at Sentral Station.
