7 Most Important Endangered Sites
The Penang Heritage Trust has come up with a preliminary list.
The criteria are:
- Based on cultural significance the site should be worthy of being gazetted in the State Conservation list.
- The site must be truly endangered, suffering from years of neglect, endangered because of a change in circumstances, such as an unsympathetic proposal or it is now for sale and its heritage values are likely to be disregarded.
- The research has to be approved by PHT council.
