“Reminiscence Forgotten Treasure… Simanggang” A community-based cultural heritage conservation project in Sri Aman.

After much anticipation, the Sarawak Government funded project to conserve Fort Alice for Adaptive re-use as a local Heritage Museum, is scheduled to commence works on 28th May 2013. The project is implemented by JKR Sarawak. Jabatan Muzium Sarawak will be responsible to set up the local Heritage Museum with input from the Conservation Architect and a specialist consultant.

This conservation project provides an opportunity to engage all the relevant stakeholders in preserving their local cultural heritage. In conjunction but independent to the government’s conservation project, the Sarawak Heritage Society (SHS) has taken the lead to initiate a community-based cultural heritage conservation programme called “Reminiscence Forgotten Treasure… Simanggang”. This is SHS’s second series of the much acclaimed community programme first implemented in Siniawan called “Reminiscence Forgotten Treasure… Siniawan”.

This community-based project aims to promote awareness in cultural heritage conservation in Sri Aman. It is a community based project organised through Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), professional bodies, local community organisations and individuals, without government and political interference. This project is solely funded by SHS, Co-Organiser Malaysian Institute of Architects Sarawak Chapter (PAMSC) and their Corporate Partner NS Bluescope Lysaght (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd (Lysaght). Simanggang Soon Heng Society (SSHS) as the Local Partner plays an important role in programme implementation and logistic coordination.  This project is also supported by Jabatan Muzium Sarawak (JMS) and The Talents and Arts Performing Group (WuJiaoJi).

The programme will start with an initial core group consists of local school children. However it encourages participation, among others, from the three main ethnic groups - Chinese, Iban and Malay - that had contributed to the development of this historical township. The activities are planned to expose this core group to the concept of heritage (tangible and intangible) and the importance of heritage conservation through talks, site visits and workshops. The participants will be taken to the Fort Alice conservation site regularly to observe the process in conserving this historical building. The local community is encouraged to form a volunteer group as ‘Friend of Fort Alice’ (FoFA) to support Jabatan Muzium Sarawak in the set-up and operation of the Heritage Museum. They can be trained with sufficient knowledge to be the ‘Guides and Guardians’ of the museum in future.

“记忆的遗珠…成邦江”-斯里阿曼社区文化遗产维护计划

经过长时间的酝酿,由砂州政府拨资维修爱丽丝堡成为遗产博物馆计划终于将在2013528日开工。这计划由州工务局实践,州博物院将在工程绘测师与专业顾问的指导下设立本土遗产博物馆。
