Tourist Center or Souvenir Shop?

On my first trip to Morib last Sunday, found the so called Tourist Center located strategically near the beach. What does a tourist center do? I assume they must have capable staff to entertain queries about tourism in Selangor if not the whole Malaysia. They must also have some brochures to be given away or sell if giving it out for free is deemed too expensive for the government.

I went in hoping to get more information on places I can go for my photography outing. When asked for brochures, the two ladies make constipated faces while pointing to a corner with their mouth and then saying, "errr... takder lah!" What I saw was so disappointing. The place shouldn't be named Tourist Center!. Just name it a souvenir shop lah. They have lots of souvenirs. I didn't even take a good look on what kind of souvenirs they're selling. So disturbed I was that a Tourist Center don't have anything helpful to tourist.
