PUTRAJAYA, Nov 11 (Bernama) — The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) has revoked the bus operator licence of Kenari Utara Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd (Company No: 806799-V), effective from Sept 11.
MOTAC said this action was taken by the Tourism Commissioner in accordance with Section 8 of the Tourism Industry Act 1992 [Act 482].
“MOTAC views any violation of legal provisions by licenced tourism operators seriously, as it is committed to safeguarding the welfare and interests of the people,” the ministry said in a statement today.
On Nov 3, the Gerik Magistrate’s Court convicted Kenari Utara Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd on two charges under Regulation 6(1)(f) of the Tourism Industry Regulations 1992 for breaching licence conditions that prohibit transactions with unlicenced parties.
This follows the tragic accident on June 9 in Gerik, which resulted in the deaths of 15 students from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI).
