: The Ministry of Housing and Local Government is always open to suggestions regarding the nomination of any village as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.said the MADANI government approach is to always welcome the nomination of traditional Malay villages, including in Sabah and Sarawak, as proposed UNESCO World Heritage sites, provided they meet the stipulated criteria.

“If there is an application from the International Council on Monuments and Sites of Malaysia, KPKT, together with the Department of National Heritage and Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, will consider and scrutinise the proposal. “However, this matter will be coordinated by the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development since traditional Malay villages come under its jurisdiction,” he said when winding up the motion of thanks for the Royal address at the Dewan Negara sitting today.

“To nominate any village as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the village’s location must have outstanding universal significance and meet at least one of the six selection criteria,” he said. -
