Gua Tambun Neolithic rock paintings in need of conservation measures

THE 5,000 year-old Gua Tambun Neolithic rock paintings will soon be history if conservation measures are not taken to preserve them from fading away.

These paintings, comprising depictions of local fauna, anthropomorphs and abstract shapes of red, purple and orange, are vanishing due to the battering weather through out the years and lack of preservation measures to conserve them.
