Press Cutting - Adhere To The Rules, Society Says
The article centers on the Perak Heritage Society's call for the work to preserve the Tanjung Tualang dredge to be carried out according to the Heritage Act 2005. Mohd. Taib Mohamed the president of the society applauded the move by Malaysian Champber of Mines (MCM) in launching the "Save-the-Dredge Fund" to transform the rusting monument into a living museum.
