KUCHING: The old nurses' quarters at Jalan Crookshank should be preserved if possible rather than demolished for a flood mitigation project, says Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

The state Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister said the quarters is a historical building with sentimental value to those who lived or worked there.
