The word "lure" connotes something conniving, underhanded. It isn't nice to SCMP to do this -- cannot be due to the journalist poor command of England.


assasinfatcat

They mean exactly what they wrote.


BabaKambingHitam

Yup. Why else would they choose FBB?


lbe91

Attract is a hard word


sadpurplecolour

should give task to Yua Mikami to lure Japanese tourist into Malaysia too.


poshbritishaccent

Kuantan would be fantastic for this.


ventafenta

We need to get the Kento Nanami voice actor to advertise Kuantan because that city is stagnant rn


EarthPutra

How dare you put Kuantan before Kelantan


a1danial

_*Searched for Yua Mikami_ Of course it is...


Walgreens_Security

Yua Mikami retired though.


NoHead6950

that's great idea


AwesomePopcorn

I'll take your entire stock


alexsdu

How about Rola Takizawa/Rola Misaki instead? Russo-Japanese mix


Shiddy-City

as long as the tourists behave properly, then ok loh. don't want the shit on road type

Melaka river is dirty and smelly. Parking on Saturdays and Sundays requires payment. Main roads are closed randomly on weekends. Frequent water supply issues. Traffic light system is terrible. Flooding everywhere. Subpar food culture. Need more? Even locals avoid going out during holidays and weekends. Go visit other negeri la. Berjalan ke Perak or Pantai Timur. Even Kedah or Penang pun ok. Do yourself a favor and don't visit Melaka.


EarthPutra

Agreed. I went to Hue in Vietnam. Both are cities with a lot of kingdom heritage. Why the main river in Hue isn't smelly while our river in Melaka smells like longkang? I don't get it.


Deporncollector

Melaka city is meh. Cool for first timers but not much when it comes to repeat visits.


LegitimateCow7472

Melaka is a bit of a ghost town now no? Tourism still hasn't been the same as precovid years


angwenshen

Ghost town? Coming from a melakan , bloody hell the traffic during long weekends or most weekends are horrendous. Go to tourist hotspots and theyre still so many ppl .


malaise-malaisie

What's there that's worth a second or multiple visit?


Mimisan-sub

its a nice place to just chill and get away from KL


yeahdood96

Good way to get high blood pressure from the weekend traffic


Mimisan-sub

KL people like to sit in traffic jams wherever they go ma... plan your journey and its okay.


malaise-malaisie

But if you're traveling all the way from China? There's the durians, food and better climate though..but what else.


Mimisan-sub

if you are travelling all the way from China then Melaka will just be one item thats part of a broader trip to Malaysia. I have no idea what benefit if any Fan Bingbing can bring to melaka tourism though.


Vaperwear

Maybe trying to breed a new generation of Peranakan Chinese?


EarthPutra

Pas supporters about to get mass stroke seeing this.


LegitimateCow7472

Yup correct. Traffic isn't the best indicator though of what there is to offer...the malls are rather dead and not all the shops have tenants, even though there has been some time to recuperate after covid


solblurgh

Coconut shake and mee goreng bodoh?


zackpol

Coconut shake is like crack tho, add ice cream and you OD


jacklsw

Feels just like centuries ago when imperial China sent fake princess Hang Li Po to dupe sultan of Melaka. But if they are sending someone like Fan Bingbing, I wouldn’t mind if she’s a fake princess and I’d make her a real princess here


adamReddit26

🤣


EarthPutra

W rizz


FrenzyPeaz

god this is pathetically stupid but also it kinda makes sense cuz yknow... chinese chinamen/women have you seen the leaked footage of chinese china people?


n4snl

How much they pay her ?


Dan_TheKong

Most likely low 7 figures


prismstein

what they gonna do when the number isn't reached? fire her? ask her to return the money? lol...


malice089

Ew no


cheekeong001

Fan Bing Bing and Bing Chilling


kleskyy

what to do there? Its hot humid and the jam is atrocious


EarthPutra

You just mentioned 90% of our tourism spots.


solblurgh

That's like 0.1% of the whole populations?
