SEMPORNA: Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim has announced the allocation of RM30,000 to each parliamentary constituency in the country for the promotion of local culture and heritage.
Speaking at the launch of the ‘Merakyatkan Seni Budaya’ programme organised by his ministry at Anjung Lepa near here yesterday, Rais said it is up to the MPs what to include in the programme as long as it promotes the local culture of their constituency.
“With this allocation, we can at least preserve our cultural heritage and show to the world that we are still rich in high cultural values,” he said.
Rais also urged for greater efforts at unearthing and cultivating new talents in the various arts, saying they are creative endeavours that could indirectly promote the local as well as national economy.
