SUNGAI PETANI: The parliamentary constituency of Merbok is set to get a boost in terms of tourism and education, thanks to the Federal Government's projects in these sectors. Merbok sits close to the famed archeological site of Bujang Valley where recent discoveries at Sungai Batu suggest that the area could be the birthplace of early civilisation in Southeast Asia.
The Sungai Batu archaeological site, one of 154 sites, tangible and intangible objects and distinguished individuals declared as the country's national heritage by Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim recently, will be developed as a tourist attraction.
