Public consultation needed in process of gazetting monuments: Heritage groups

via The Straits Times, 31 October 2021: Heritage advocates call for greater public consultation in deciding what gets gazetted, instead of just the government and land owners.

Heritage advocates are calling for the public to be involved in deciding the buildings and sites to be gazetted as monuments.

They add that clear reasons should also be provided for some of the proposed new laws protecting monuments, along with greater support for owners of the building and site.

Their call follows the introduction of the Preservation of Monuments (Amendment) Bill in Parliament in early October.
