via Malay Mail, 03 September 2022: Remarks made during the launch of the Sibu Heritage Photography contest.
The Sarawak government has taken steps to preserve old buildings across Sarawak by gazetting them as heritage buildings, said Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
“In the last two or three years, we have gazetted quite a number of old buildings not just in Kuching, but all over the state. Most of them are forts in Kapit and Kanowit.
“There are also old buildings ― in Kuching we have the post office and old court house gazetted as heritage buildings while in Sibu, Lau King Howe Hospital Memorial Museum and Al-Qadim Mosque have been gazetted. I am not sure about others,” said the Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts after launching Sibu Heritage Photography Contest 2022 here yesterday.
