Heritage sites are gazetted in perpetuity


WE note with grave concern recent reports on the move by the National Heritage Department to revoke the national heritage status of the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTIC) at Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.

The listing of the heritage and monument status of the MaTIC properties and site was only gazetted on the National Heritage Register on June 16, 2016. The gazetting under the National Heritage Act was meant to protect the site and monument from damages, and the criteria for such a listing were based on historical importance and also its architectural and aesthetic character.
