KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will have foreign assistance in its efforts to preserve George Town and Malacca as World Heritage Sites.
According to Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, besides foreign help, there are also plans to cooperate with Penang and Malacca chief ministers to work on the preservation efforts.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) accorded the two cities the status Monday when the Paris-based World Heritage Council met in Quebec, Canada.
He said that the international recognition would boost the tourism industry and help the West know Malaysian culture better.
"In our quest to achieve modernity, we are still able to leave historical sites the way they were.
"This recognition can also dispel the notion that we (Malaysians) live on trees, or that our country isn't safe," he said Tuesday in a press conference after officiating the ministry's monthly assembly at Muzium Negara.
To a question, he said that the Government would do everything to ensure that George Town and Malacca would not lose the prestigious title.
George Town and Malacca were among the eight sites chosen by Unesco as the latest World Heritage Sites. The other sites are in Croatia, France, Papua New Guinea, San Marino, Slovakia and Germany.
