Cultural Economy Catalytic Grants
Individuals, collectives and organisations nationwide who have an interest or are actively involved in contributing to the development of Malaysian cultural sites are welcome to apply.
The immense natural resources in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia have attracted settlers from afar for nearly 2 million years and continue to sustain the regional economy. A story of human evolution, migration, civilisation and environmental interaction, the historical region's hidden gems and cultural assets include pre-historic burial sites, and ancient cave paintings to name a few. Many more lay waiting to be discovered.
Recognising the potential of economic development in the region, Think City in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance has launched the Cultural Economy Catalytic Grants with an early focus on projects in Lenggong, Taiping and Kuala Kangsar.
