PKR rep Lee Khai Loon is unhappy about the state government’s complacent attitude towards the application. FMTNews Hawker Penang
An assemblyman is upset that the Penang government is not pursuing efforts to have Penang’s hawker fare recognised by Unesco as intangible cultural heritage, like Singapore is doing.
“Look at how Singapore is fighting to have its hawker culture listed. Their community is excited to have their hawker food recognised.“We, on the other hand, appear to be not bothered. We are falling behind. We need to do something, we cannot be so meek. Let us not forget we received Unesco status for George Town.
Lee said the tourism, arts and culture ministry had sent a letter to the state government on May 31, stating it required more preparation before submitting its nomination.Lee said the Unesco nomination would do a lot of good to the tourism sector and benefit Penang hawkers.
