KUALA LUMPUR: The "Dondang Sayang" has been recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage under Unesco's Representative List says Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi. 

"The recognition is very meaningful as the last time Malaysia was given such recognition was in 2005 for the 'Mak Yong'," said the Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister.
