CONCLUSION
7.0 CONCLUSION
The state government must be prepared to clearly articulate the benefits of the regions
in Kuala Kangsar. For instance, different of attractions will engage to the relatively affluent,
younger, tourists and families. The local community also needs to be educated on cultural and
historical resources and the up-keeping of the historical site. Identification of potential area as
historical and cultural heritage can promote awareness and appreciation hence help to increase
the chances of its preservation and enhance the community pride and formed sense of place
and identity.
