Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said with the contribution, the National Heritage Department would not be solely dependent on the government for funds.

We also plan to use archeology expertise from China to meet international requirement and recognition,” he told reporters after the ministry’s monthly gathering at Istana Budaya here Tuesday.
