Something to be proud of. At least we have some world heritages here. Phew. The first 2 are Mulu Caves and Kinabalu Park. Those were obtained in 2000 as natural sites.
To be honest, I would love to visit all UNESCO sites if possible. So far, I have been to quite a few. I know I went to a cemetry in Stockholm, Sweden. You never know, Bukit Cina in Melaka might be in the list soon. :)
From Malaysiakini.
The historic Malaysian trading towns of Georgetown and Malacca are among eight new cultural sites that have been added to Unesco's World Heritage List today.
According to Unesco, both sites have been imbued with a multicultural heritage after more than five centuries of trading and cultural exchanges between East and West.
Georgetown and Malacca joined two other World Heritage Sites in Malaysia which won listing in 2000 - the Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak and the Kinabalu Park in Sabah.
Also included on the coveted list are a controversial Hindu temple in Cambodia and an early agricultural site from Papua New Guinea.
Honoured were the 11th century Preah Vihear temple site, perched on a mountaintop on the Thai-Cambodia border; the cities of the Straits of Malacca - Georgetown and Malacca in Malaysia - and the Kuk Early Agricultural Site in Papua New Guinea, marking the country's first entry on the list.
