KUCHING, July 31 — Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg today called for more in-depth research to be made on the existence of human civilisation at the Niah Caves in the Miri division.
“However, a recent research done by an Australian university and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak indicated that there are signs of the existence of civilisation in Niah about 60,000 years ago,” he said at the opening of the national level International Museum Day 2023 here. The premier said there are many more treasures in Sarawak that should be shared with the rest of the world and he hoped that researchers will make a more in-depth study and will make a very important contribution in the development of civilisation.
He added that Sarawak has so many treasures, one of which is the discovery of the settlement of human life in Niah. He said British naturalist, explorer and anthropologist and biologist Sir Alfred Russel Wallace spent many years in Sarawak collecting specimens of insects, animals and plants which are now exhibited at the History Museum in London.
