GEORGE TOWN: The Penang state government has approved an allocation of RM100,000, to restore the 119-year-old Ng Fook Thong Cantonese Districts Association building in Chulia Street here.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said he would make a further contribution of RM100,00 from his allocation.
He said the combined allocation amounting to RM200,000 would be channelled via the George Town World Heritage Incorporated (GTWHI) to carry out the first phase of the restoration work on the building.
Lim said this during a visit to the association's premises earlier today.
Ng Fook Thong Cantonese Districts Association chairman Wong Woon Khuan said the association would work with GTWHI in a pilot project on sustainable restoration.
The project will look at ways to help heritage building owners, especially those within the world heritage city, to restore their buildings according to requirements.
"Our main intention is to make sure the building does not collapse due to disrepair and to preserve it for the future generation," he said.
