Tan Sri Dr Ong Hong Peng began his service in the government sector as an Assistant Director at the Public Service Department (JPA) of Malaysia in 1981. In 2007, he was appointed as the Deputy Secretary General of the Ministry of Tourism, marking the start of his contributions to the tourism industry. He then served as the Secretary General of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture for eight (8) years, beginning in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his service with the Ministry, he served as the chair of the Malaysia Convention Bureau (MyCEB) and Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC) from 2009 until 2016. He was also the chair of the National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage (ASWARA) from 2013 until 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the new chair of Tourism Malaysia, he will work closely with the management and officers of Tourism Malaysia, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the tourism trade industry and the media to reinvigorate the tourism industry and place Malaysia as a safe and preferred holiday destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am truly honoured to accept this position, especially during the same month and year of Tourism Malaysia\u2019s birthday. Celebrating together Tourism Malaysia\u2019s 50th Golden Anniversary not only fills me with gratitude but also with immense responsibilities that come together with it. I am thrilled to walk hand in hand with everyone on this journey as we work toward paving a better path for the industry,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
