MELAKA, July 11 (Bernama) -- The Melaka government is organising a month-long celebration next month to commemorate Melaka's listing in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) World Heritage List.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said several events were being planned for the purpose, including construction of an arch as a landmark.
He welcomed suggestions from the public on the location for the building of the arch.
"Tentatively, we choose August for the celebration in conjunction with the Merdeka celebration," he told reporters here Friday.
He said details on the programmes to be held would be discussed at the next state executive council meeting.
The inclusion of Melaka and Georgetown in Penang as world heritage sites was made on Monday in Quebec, Canada.
