Now that George Town has been inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List, (an effort made by Malaysia since 2004), it now runs the risk of loosing it.
The heritage guidelines states that there is a five-storey limit on new buildings within the core and buffer zones of the heritage zone. However four high-rise buildings were approved within strict MPPP guidelines where the tallest, a 23-storey property got the nod 10 days before the Unesco listing.
The Golden Twilight Question : -
Freeze the approval and run the risk of being sued for hundreds of millions or allow George Town be struck off the World Heritage list.
It now seems obvious that we need to use more than just a polish to bring back the luster of the 'Pearl of the Orient'. What a shame, hopefully there will be an amicable solution in sight.
