National Heritage Dept needs funds to maintain sites

LENGGONG: The National Heritage Department (NHD), which manages the sites in Lenggong Valley, said its hands were tied when it came to developing the area, revealing that it was facing a major funding problem.

“We have tried many times to get allocations to repair the area from the EPU (Economic Planning Unit) but our requests have been rejected many times due to jurisdiction issues, ” said the department’s central zone director, Johar Kadis.
