As we are already aware, the National Leprosy Control Center (PKKN) has been nominated for recognition as a World Heritage site, with the Tentative List submitted to UNESCO on 17 January 2019. The National Heritage Department (JWN) is currently preparing the nomination documents for this purpose. The successful launch of the continuous program to protect PKKN at the international level is expected with the cooperation of various parties.
Today, the Sungai Buloh Heritage Society, the Sungai Buloh Settlement Council, and the stakeholders of PKKN have been invited to attend one day workshop at Nexus Regency Suites & Hotel, Shah Alam to contribute to PKKN's journey to UNESCO in presenting the world heritage treasures on the global stage. Today's program was officiated by YB Borhan Bin Aman Shah, Selangor State Housing and Culture EXCO.
The objective of the "Road to UNESCO -Nomination of the National Leprosy Control Center (PKKN) Sungai Buloh as a UNESCO World Heritage Site" one day workshop is to obtain input, feedback, involvement, and support from stakeholders and the community in the preparation of the nomination Dossier, Conservation Management Plan (CMP), and Special Area Plan (SAP). In addition, this one-day program also aims to create awareness about the importance of PKKN to all parties and engage them in the efforts to protect, conserve, and maintain the site through forums, briefings, focus group discussions (FGD) led by the Chief Consultant, and all relevant stakeholders. 🤗
