KUALA LUMPUR: The government is committed to building a modern and dynamic Kuala Lumpur while preserving its historical and cultural heritage, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Speaking at a ceremony held to mark the completion of the first phase of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building conservation project, officiated by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, Anwar said the project will ensure history remains alive and relevant.
“The conservation covers all six blocks of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, as well as Seri Negara and Carcosa in Bukit Carcosa. Heritage buildings must be brought to life, not just preserved as structures,” he said.
