THE Sarawak Heritage Society (SHS) and Malaysian Institute of Architects Sarawak Chapter (PAMSC) have pledged their support for Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem’s decision to conserve the state’s surviving 14 forts.

Both NGOs believe that the series of forts are part of a narrative that would attract tourists and their conservation would be a step forward in any effort to seek Unesco World Heritage listing.
