VISITORS to the Protestant Cemetery in Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, George Town, will find many pleasant changes to the site following its recent restoration.

The 226-year-old cemetery, the final resting place of Sir Francis Light and other prominent personalities, was reopened to the public late last year following a RM230,000 upgrading project which took five weeks.
