The new discoveries made at the Bujang Valley, which prove the existence of the earliest civilisation in Southeast Asia, will be nominated for world heritage status in a year or two, said Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) Global Archeology Research Centre director Dr Mohd Mokhtar Saidin.
He said the bid, which will be a joint effort between the centre and the Information Communication and Culture Ministry, would have to be pursued carefully so that the findings in Sungai Batu there could be exhibited using the latest technology besides attracting the public to view them.
