via The Star, 05 August 2022: Follow up to the previous story about the Sibu Cultural Heritage Museum in dealing with post-Covid 19.
THE Sibu Cultural Heritage Museum has resumed normal operations following a two-year closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“It was reopened in April this year but only on an appointment basis for group visits.
“We felt that this was not satisfactory as we want people to be able to come here during regular operating hours,” said Chinese community leader in Sibu, Temenggong Datuk Vincent Lau who visited the museum with Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) chairman Clarence Ting.
Lau said the museum was currently managed by the Sibu Civic Centre but due to a shortage of staff, it could not open on a regular basis for the past few months.
He hoped the Sarawak Museum Department would take over the museum, so that it could be better managed and maintained.
