Penang risks losing heritage status, says George Town World Heritage Incorporated

GEORGE TOWN: Penang is at risk of losing its Unesco World Heritage Site status over the proposed Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) here.

George Town World Heritage Incorporated (GTWHI) general manager Dr Ang Ming Chee said this was because the Penang Forum had submitted a letter to Unesco’s World Heritage Centre in Paris requesting for advisory mission and impact assessment of the transport plan.
