Puchong, 24 April: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's love affair with the Japanese culture is quite legendary; so much so that he made Japan his first stop after suddenly becoming Prime Minister of Malaysia again. He visited the Land of the Rising Sun three times in 2018: in June, August and then again in November. He brought back some samurai bonds for his troubles but I didn't hear him raving about Doraemon. There may be a Nobita in the Cabinet but I don't think it was the Old Man's idea to use the popular Japanese anime to help promote Visit Malaysia Year 2020.
This is not the first time the VMY 2020 has courted controversy, though. I'm sure you remember this logo:
