All's good for Georgetown heritage conservation efforts?

Ministry's To Assist In Heritage Conservation In Melaka And Penang sounds good here for the Federal Governemnt in supporting the conservation efforts.

It does state the following in the above news report as reported in The Star here.

Earlier, Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal told Chow Kon Yeow (DAP - Tanjung) that the Penang state government would not be receiving a special financial allocation from the federal administration for conservation work.

"However, the ministry will continue to provide technical expertise and aid to Penang," he said.

Case of double standards again by the UMNO led BN Government of Malaysia??? Such a shame!

It is also a case of political ideologies and economic well being overcomes the actuality of the roles ad responsibilities of a Minister.
