Langkawi is being positioned as a preferred Muslim destination with an emphasis on family-friendly and spiritual tourism, says the Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister.

Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan told the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (June 24) that this would help enhance Langkawi's competitiveness among regional islands in preparation for the upcoming Visit Malaysia Year 2026.

In response to concerns raised by Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah (PN-Langkawi) about the cleanliness of Langkawi's waters, particularly around Bukit Malut, Khairul Firdaus assured that the ministry is committed to elevating Langkawi as one of the top islands in the country, and suggested that a volunteer program could be initiated by the ministry to help clean up the beaches.
