Published: Oct 15, 2021 2:35 AM

Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Edmund Santhara said his use of the term “homestay” when addressing the Dewan Negara on Wednesday was appropriate.

This followed complaints by Dewan Rakyat president Rais Yatim, an active Bahasa Malaysia advocate, criticising Santhara for not using the term “inap desa” instead.
