Candi controversy: Ministry has agreed to consider gazetting Lembah Bujang as heritage site, says Mukhriz

PETALING JAYA: The Tourism and Culture Ministry has agreed in principle to look into gazetting Lembah Bujang, which boasts more than 100 historical sites, as a heritage site.

Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said Tuesday there was an urgent need to immediately gazette the sites to prevent further loss, following the recent destruction of candi number 11 in Sungai Batu.
