The National Heritage Act (Act 645) received Royal Assent on 30 December 2005 and was published in the Gazette on 31 December 2005. This law came into effect on 1 March 2006.

This is "[a]n Act to provide for the conservation and preservation of National Heritage, natural heritage, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, underwater cultural heritage, treasure trove and for related matters".

On 30 May 2006, the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage organised a briefing on this act to various members of the government and public.

This Act provides for the creation of a National Heritage Register which can be inspected by the members of the public. This register will be administered by the newly created National Heritage Department under the Ministry, which is headed by the Heritage Commissioner, Prof. Dato' Siti Zuraina Abdul Majid.

Find out more about how you can play a role in nominating sites to be included in the register. If you have not had an opportunity to read this act, it can be accessed via the Parliament of Malaysia web site - www.parlimen.gov.my. Both the Bahasa Malaysia and English versions are available.

Bahasa Malaysia version

The act can also be purchased from the Government Printers for RM13.50.

The President of Badan Warisan Malaysia will be making a Press Statement shortly on this matter. Please visit our web site for updates.

News & Announcements

Report by Datin Waveney Jenkins, OBE: 13th International Conference of National Trusts (ICNT 13), Dublin, Eire
An outstanding feature of this conference was the way that the more eminent and experienced conservators then mingled and struck up discussions with those just starting out in the conservation world. Tours on the second morning allowed even greater opportunity for meeting others and forging strong links with many future projects being discussed.

Missing Kuala Selangor War Memorial - Found! by Andrew Hwang
The war memorial obelisk is a shadow of its former self and should be restored. More importantly, just like the war memorial at the Stadthuys in Melaka, this memorial commemorates 7 fallen Malay soldiers who gave their lives in order to protect their homeland from invaders in WW2.

Photos for the Future

Press Statements
If the jail complex were to have been preserved, with a little creative thinking and innovative planning, we could have found a narrative which would fit into our contemporary community and provide a first-hand experience of a unique piece of social, cultural and architectural history. Its demolition denies us this opportunity.

Dr Chandran Mohandas Jeshurun: 1940 - 2009
The Council and Members of Badan Warisan Malaysia were greatly saddened to receive the news of the passing of Dr Chandran Jeshurun on Tuesday 3 November 2009. We offer our deepest sympathies to his mother and other family members.

Inscription of Melaka & George Town on UNESCO’s World Heritage List
On 8 July 2008, Melaka and George Town were among the 27 new sites which were inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List by the World Heritage Committee, meeting for its 32nd session.

PENANG HERITAGE TRUST AND BADAN WARISAN MALAYSIA ON THE SUCCESSFUL INSCRIPTION OF MELAKA & GEORGE TOWN AS A SERIAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE
BWM is honoured to have played a part in the country’s achievement. During the last 10 years, we have had to add our weight and experience to actively support the efforts to promote the nomination. Last year we authored the World Heritage Site Management Plan (WHSMP) for George Town which was formulated on behalf of the Penang State Government. This plan formed part of the nomination dossier which was submitted to the World Heritage Centre. A WHSMP is a prerequisite for listing.

Notes from the Council of Badan Warisan Malaysia
We welcome members nominating any buildings you believe are of great cultural significance which should be included on the Heritage Register, especially those which are under threat of demolition, are rapidly deteriorating or in a grave state of dilapidation. We will be happy to work with you to nominate these buildings.

Construction of the prison began with the building of the outer walls in 1891. Ninety years later these walls entered the Guinness Book of Records with the completion of the art work on the exterior walls by prison inmates, making it the longest mural in the world.

Botanical Drawings - by Puan Sri Datin Susan Jalaluddin
Botanical drawings and measured drawings are comparable in almost every aspect. Both represent the object, the building or plant, in the ‘as is’ state, with the individual traits retained.

Through the Merdeka Heritage Trust and its tax-exempt status, we look forward to each and every Malaysian donating to the fundraising efforts for the restoration of both stadia and that through this collective investment, our national heritage will be shared by future generations.

Asian Conference of National Trusts 22 to 23 May 2008 by Lim Ee Lin
It was a opportunity for the countries present to learn more about how each of the National Trusts have been set up and are run. Just from the few countries present, it was clear that there was a wide range of work and projects being carried out.

Notes from Council July - August 2008
The Board of Directors and Honorary Council Members are honoured to serve with Tun Ahmad Sarji and look foward to continue working under his guidance and leadership in pushing forward the cause of Badan Warisan Malaysia.

The Day Bok House Died (Updated)
So, if this building which is of such great historic prominence and provenance has been deemed by the authorities not to be a Heritage Huilding, Badan Warisan Malaysia would like to know what the government’s definition of heritage is and what criteria were applied to arrive at this decision. Sadly, we cannot but come to the grave conclusion that the demolition of Bok House within the first 12 months of the life of the NHA is an omen of things to come.

Buletin Warisan September - November 2006
Notes from Council - In the past few months, some members and friends of heritage have commented that they would like to know more about the sorts of heritage issues which concern Badan Warisan Malaysia, and how the Council responds to them. This is especially so for those who do not often come to the Heritage Centre nor participate in activities which have been organized for members. To address this, a note on a selection of issues which are raised at Council will be presented in the Buletin Warisan for your greater understanding and appreciation of the efforts by Council towards promoting the conservation and preservation of Malaysia’s built heritage. In this edition, I am focusing on the most recent campaign for Bok House.

STOP PRESS: LATEST ON THE COLISEUM CINEMA
Badan Warisan Malaysia welcomes the gracious decision by the Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage for his Ministry not to pursue acquisition of the Coliseum Cinema.

PRESS STATEMENT: COLISEUM CINEMA
The Coliseum Cinema is an icon from the past that exists in the present and should be handed down to future generations. Why destroy the very icons that exemplify the continuity of everyday life, which celebrate our common cultural heritage? And just as importantly, why terminate a beloved gathering place for the local community?

The Portuguese Settlement by Colin Goh

Report on the Fundraising Dinner 6 December 2007 by Puan Sri Datin Amar Elizabeth Moggie
Malaysians are generous and some donations came from companies we least expected. BWM’s tax exempt status is a great incentive to donors and we were encouraged by people who genuinely supported our cause. We received 3 Platinum donations (4 including Sime Darby), 9 Gold donations, 23 Bronze donations and numerous Warisan donations. Even though some donors did not want to attend the dinner, all 62 tables were filled.

Entries are now being accepted for the 2005 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. The awards programme, in its sixth year, recognizes the achievement of individuals and organizations within the private sector, and public-private initiatives, in successfully restoring structures of heritage value in the Asia-Pacific region

TOWN PLANNING AND CONSERVATION: WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?
In the preservation of the streetscape or heritage enclaves, we should take a new course – leasing the properties for long periods, instead of selling them outright. The biding process should be open to investors in the country and abroad. The period suggested is a 50-year lease, and the government needs to ensure that these properties are protected when the lease term expires, and this needs to happen before anything is signed. We should not sign away our architectural jewels.
