Thus, the state government has requested a similar grant of RM50 million or an annual allocation at the meeting,” he said when appearing as a guest in the Bicara Ketua Menteri segment on Malacca FM today.
According to Sulaiman, the Malacca World Heritage Site encompasses two zones, namely Core Zone (45.3 hectares) and Buffer Zone (242.8 hectares).
The Core Zone comprises of Bukit Malacca (St Paul’s Hill) and residential areas such as at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Jalan Hang Jebat (Jonker Street), Jalan Kampung Kuli, Jalan Tukang Emas, Jalan Tokong, Jalan Tukang Besi and Jalan Kampung Pantai.
Meanwhile, the Buffer Zone consists of Jalan Kubu, Jalan Bunga Raya, Jalan Kampung Jawa, Jalan Bendahara and Jalan Temenggong around the Core Zone, which serves to protect the core zone.
Sulaiman said the state government’s efforts to preserve the sites were through the establishment of the Malacca State Cultural Heritage Conservation and Restoration Enactment 1988, which listed and gazetted heritage buildings and monuments in Malacca.
Apart from that, the state government also set up the Preservation and Conservation Committee chaired by the Chief Minister and its members comprising government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) related to heritage.
The Malacca Heritage Festival 2022 celebration in conjunction with the 14th-anniversary celebration of Malacca as a UNESCO World Heritage City will be held on a large scale from July 15 to August 7.
Today, July 7 this year, marks the 14th anniversary of Malacca ’s inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site after being gazetted on July 7, 2008.-Bernama
