Programme Background

The northern region of Peninsular Malaysia is rich with historical and cultural assets. Its immense natural resources 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 interaction with the environment, the region is filled with hidden gems and cultural assets including pre-historic burial sites, ancient cave paintings, traditional Malay villages, religious structures, to name a few. Many more lay waiting to be woken.

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 of projects in Lenggong, Taiping and Kuala Kangsar to:

build a network of cultural sites in the northern region for visitors;
create positive and enriching experiences for visitors;
generate economic activity through capacity building and development of small cultural enterprises; and
broaden our understanding of the region’s cultural significance through local cultural products and public advocacy.
