LETTER | Recently, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said the “Perak Man”, a meteorite impact crater, and dust from Mount Toba volcano eruption in Sumatra will be highlighted as ecotourism products to promote Lenggong.
The Lenggong MP stated the geology of the area and cultural diversity of the local community would continue to be promoted as an archaeological study site, and scientific research are being conducted by the Department of Mineral and Geoscience Malaysia and Universiti Sains Malaysia.
He also disclosed that billboards and information panels are being designed and will be placed at strategic locations around the Lenggong Valley to promote and introduce it as a national geopark area. But he is aware that geoparks are not unique, particularly in the state of Perak.
