FRIM is Malaysia’s pride

I AM proud to announce that the nomination of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) and two other sites – Royal Belum State Park in Gerik, Perak, and the Quartz Ridge of Gombak, Selangor – has been unanimously accepted by the World Heritage Committee (WHC) at their meeting in Paris on 7 July.

Currently, the World Heritage Sites in Malaysia are: the Archaeological Heritage of Lenggong in Perak, Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak, Kinabalu Park in Sabah, and the historic cities of Melaka and George Town, Penang.
