Communication made easy for Japanese tourists

Japanese tourists in distress will now find it easier to get help and make reports at police stations in Penang.

A series of communication flowcharts in Japanese, Malay and English, designed to break language barriers, are now posted at police stations here.

Penang police chief Comm Datuk Seri A. Thaiveegan (pic) said the flowcharts would ease the communication process to make it easier for Japanese tourists to make reports.

“Every year, thousands of Japanese come to Penang and this number is expected to increase. As such, we came up with the posters with the Consulate-General of Japan in Penang to help Japanese visitors.

The consul-general of Japan Kenji Yamakawa handed the flowcharts to Comm Thaiveegan at the contingent headquarters in Penang Road on Monday.
