Bernama, 25 August 2010
The Cabinet on Wednesday approved the Information Communication and Culture Ministry’s plan to
make the Lenggong Valley in Perak a World Heritage Site after George Town in Penang and Melaka.Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said Malaysia would submit a report and proposal to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) for the area to be declared a World Heritage Site.
“If Unesco agrees to the proposal, we have another historical site on the world heritage list; this one with archaelogical remains and artefacts from the Palaeolithic (old Stone Age), Neolithic (new Stone Age) and Bronze Age,” he said after a post-Cabinet meeting, here, Wednesday.
