GEORGE TOWN: The Boria Academy is seeking support from the Penang government and the National Heritage Department in its effort to get boria recognised as a Unesco World Heritage.
Its director, Jibran Khalil Sindamadar, said boria deserves to be elevated as a world heritage as it is a unique art form that has existed in the country since the 19th century, encompassing four elements within one performance, namely sketsa (short plays), rangkap karangan (lyrics), tukang karang (singing) and additional dance movements.
