Penang society. Each set of presentations were followed by a conversation and a question and In Malaysia, discourse on art history beyond the answer session. capital city of Kuala Lumpur is relatively sparse, thus alienating significant cultural works and stories from the national narrative. George Town, situated on one of Malaysia’s best-known islands, and steeped in history and culture, was deemed the ideal place to generate such a discussion. Key takeaways from the Symposium are as follows: There is a vast amount of heritage narratives untapped across Penang state, with plenty of potential in places further away from the state capital of George Town. There is a necessity to review archive materials and offer alternative interpretations, as well as to excavate multiple, plausible interpretations rather than chase after one “true” narrative, given Penang’s diverse cultural influences.

At the time, we were the only established organisation concerned about Penang’s heritage. George Town was facing the repeal of Rent Control. We put much effort into explaining why heritage is important to Penang’s future. To draw attention to the situation, we registered George Town on the World Monuments Watch’s List of 100 Endangered Sites (twice on the biennial list, 2000-2004). After UNESCO listing in 2008, it seems that Penang’s heritage is now largely recognized by the state, the private sector, the people of Penang and tourists who snap away at our food and buildings and circulate the images around the world. We have succeeded in making heritage a buzz word in Penang.

While a great deal has been achieved to advance the cause of sustainable conservation and to mark Penang’s importance as a globally-recognised heritage site it is equally true to say that there have been setbacks and unresolved problems. As a result, the very meaning of heritage is coming under increasing scrutiny. There have been a number of unadulterated successes. The World Heritage Inc was established; a baseline George Town Land Use and Population Survey was completed and a special area plan begun; and, an abundance of restoration and documentation projects were stimulated by Think City grants. On the cultural front, the George Town Festival was fabulously celebrated for a whole month, showcasing the abundance of local creative talent.
