via Antara News, 14 March 2023: West Bangka regency plans to propose four buildings for cultural heritage status reflecting the region’s cultural diversity and colonial history.
The West Bangka district government, Bangka Belitung Islands, is planning to seek cultural heritage status for four historical buildings in Mentok City.
“Currently, cultural officers are still collecting data; we hope that this year, a proposal can be drafted so that the buildings can be designated as cultural heritage,” West Bangka’s Tourism and Culture Office Secretary Bambang Haryo Suseno said here on Tuesday.
