A living legacy


The 17th Century Dutch Stadhuys is now officially part of Malacca's Unesco World Heritage site. – The Star

LIKE other world heritage sites around the world, Malacca and George Town have become popular travel destinations after their inscription by Unesco on July 7, 2008.

Since then, both have recorded impressive tourism arrivals, and with the world recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, tourists are now flocking back to the two heritage cities.
