Lenggong Valley is the 5th site in Malaysia recognized as World Heritage site after George Town, Malacca, Mount Kinabalu and Niah Cave and I was fortunate to attend to Lenggong Valley 1st Anniversary here at Dataran Lenggong.
The ceremony was officiated by Regent of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah at Carnival Lenggong, also present were Raja Puan Besar Perak Tuanku Zara Salim, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and Heritage Commissioner Professor Emeritus Datuk Zuraina Majid.
The Archaeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site during 36th World Heritage Committee Meeting on 30th June 2012 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This achievement is the 4th World Heritage Site for Malaysia and the 953rd in the world.
