PEKAN: Efforts and costs to refloat the Paloh Hinai shipwreck will have to correspond with its historical value, said Socio-Cultural adviser to the Government Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim.

He said a cost study would be conducted and the matter would be forwarded to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to see whether it was feasible to raise the wreck from the Sungai Pahang riverbed.
