via The Star, 23 December 2019: In response to remarks made by the former Heritage Commissioner on Lenggong Valley, the state government of Perak has responded that repair and maintenance work of the Unesco World Heritage Site is underway.
The Perak government has acknowledged the deplorable conditions at the Lenggong Valley archaeological site in Hulu Perak, saying that work to repair the area is in progress.
Since Lenggong Valley was accorded Unesco heritage status in 2012, it was parked under the care and management of the National Heritage Department (NHD).
Perak tourism committee chairman Tan Kar Hing explained that after the Pakatan Harapan government took over Perak last year, the state, on the suggestion of NHD, decided to take over the management of the World Heritage Office and Lenggong Valley’s Unesco site, but that this would only happen in 2021.
