The hotel's strategic location between the airport and the central business district (CBD) will certainly be an advantage to both business and leisure travellers, he added. "Imperial Hotel Kuching also has much to offer in the form of meetings, incentives, conferencing and exhibitions (MICE) facilities," he said during the launching ceremony yesterday. The event was graced by the Chief Minister, Tan Sri Datuk Amar (Dr) Adenan Satem and his wife as well as Deputy Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Alfred Jabu Numpang.

The number of international conferences and conventions held in Kuching over the last few years, the latest being the Asean Tourism Forum 2014 in January and Routes Asia 2014 in March earlier this year were testimony to the enormous success of our state government's vision and efforts. Imperial Hotel Kuching aims to tap into this market by offering comprehensive MICE facilities including two ballrooms, nine multi-functional meeting rooms, extensive pre function foyer, VIP lounges and a covered outdoor terrace to suit conferences and events of different sizes and preferences. "Imperial Hotel Kuching's extensive conference and meeting facilities with a total floor area of 5,856 square metres equipped with the latest technological audio video equipment will most definitely support the state government's objective to make the city of Kuching and Sarawak the destination of choice not only for tourism but also for international conventions and events," James affirmed.

| Transportation, <b>hotel</b> stay, cruises subjected to GST – BorneoPost <b>...</b> Posted: 01 Oct 2014 03:05 PM PDT KOTA KINABALU: The impact of the Goods and Service Tax (GST) on the travel industry would include taxable supplies such as hotel accommodation, domestic transportation/hire of vehicles, inbound tour package and restaurant meals. It will also include tickets for entry to exhibitions, entertainment venues, spa services, agency commission, booking fees, tour guide services, inbound travel insurance services, visa fees and other related tourism services, all of which will be subject to standard rate of 6 per cent GST. Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) Malaysia president Hamzah Rahmat disclosed this at the MATTA Malaysia GST seminar. For land transportation, he said taxi will be exempted, excursion bus for domestic tour, limousine and airport taxi, hire and drive vehicle will all be standard rated supplies. For cruise services, cruises-to-nowhere, cruise around Malaysian waters and cruise around international waters are subject to GST at standard rate. As tourist destinations, Langkawi, Tioman and Labuan are expected to have a slight advantage under the GST-era compared to other states because these islands are "designated areas" whereby there is generally no GST charged on goods/services such as retail shops, restaurants and hotels located therein, thus giving these islands a small cost-advantage for tourists, he said. Hamzah urged members to register early and start preparations as non compliance of the GST rules will attract heavy penalties. Additional manpower requirements are needed to ensure compliance. As most of the travel agents have an annual turnover above RM500,000, and would become a GST-registered business, he advised travel agencies to put in place procurement policies that are GST-compatible and notify respective vendors/suppliers that GST-registered vendors/suppliers will be preferred in order for the travel agencies to recover Input Tax Credits on the GST incurred on goods and services purchased. "As responsible corporate citizens, we must ensure our organization, system and processes are well equipped and able to embrace the implementation of GST," he said. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Law student jailed for suicide bid at <b>hotel</b> - The Borneo Post Online Posted: 04 Nov 2014 08:40 AM PST by Nathaniel Gitom Sario. Posted on November 5, 2014, Wednesday KOTA KINABALU: A law student who attempted to commit suicide over a RM40,000 debt at a five-star hotel here, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment by the Magistrate's Court yesterday. Sylvester Kuan, 24, pleaded guilty before magistrate Mohd Faiz Omar to committing the offence on October 28 at the 13th floor of Pacific Sutare between 4pm-9pm. For attempting to commit suicide, a person is liable to an imprisonment term up to year, a fine, or both, upon conviction. Based on the facts of the case, on the day of the incident, a police report was made at the Tanjung Aru police station by a security personnel of the hotel known as Rizal, informing the police that a man was going to commit suicide. Rizal had received information from Sylvester's cousin, telling him (Rizal) that the accused was attempting suicide, prompting him to notify the police. Sylvester had been persuaded to come down from the roof of the hotel at 8.50pm, as he had been standing there since 4pm. He had checked into the hotel using the name of his cousin's fiance and had said that the reason he wanted to commit suicide was because of personal stress and problems. Sylvester's counsel, Sairah Haji Yahya from the Legal Aid Bureau told the court during mitigation that her client, an active student from a university in Kuala Terengganu, had a generous heart and did not have a criminal record. She also said that it was due to his commitments in the university which led to his financial burden. Sirah further stated that her client was aware of what he had done and regretted his action. He had pleaded guilty, thus saving the time and energy of the court. A heavy sentence, she said, would affect his future as a lawyer, and as he was still a youth, he deserved a lighter sentence. However, deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Nazneen Zulkifli, who acted for the prosecution, told the court that though Sylvester's offence would have harmed no one but himself, it was still a felony under the Penal Code. If a light sentence was to be meted by the court, it would send a message to teenagers that if faced with problems, then the shortcut would be suicide. "Suicide is wrong in the eyes of the law and religion," Ahmad Nazneen said, adding that as Sylvester was a bright student, who in the near future might be facing the judge, the action of suicide contradicted his background as a brilliant student. There was also the fact that the hotel chosen was a "premium" location, which may suffer damage in name and reputation, while at the same time opening a "Pandora's Box" that would lead outsiders to come to the city to commit suicide. Sairah further applied for a stay of execution, pending an appeal to the High Court, which was permitted by the magistrate who allowed a bail of RM1,000 under one local surety. |
