via The Star, 26 November 2021: A local caving group in Malaysia have identified over 40 new rock art sites in Perak. Hope to see some research come out of this in the future!
More than 500 cave paintings, some believed to be dating back thousands of years, have been found in about 40 locations from Sungai Siput to Gopeng.
Kinta Valley Watch spokesman Ching Boon Tat said the conservation group had discovered the paintings over the past two years.
“Between 1959 and 2019, there were only three cave paintings found in the Kinta Valley, including the ones in Gua Tambun or Gunung Panjang, and at Gua Matsoorat,” he said.
“We have visited about 40 caves in Gopeng, Simpang Pulai, Sungai Siput and near Kampar and found hundreds of these paintings painted in red and black,” he added.
