Sneak peek:
British takut ke Jepun, lari ke Singapura tinggal Georgetown terkontang-kanting. Kota Portugis dan Stadhuys pula adalah tunggul penjajah. Ini warisan siapa sebenarnya?

"As a nation where tourism is among the most important sectors of the economy, such recognition is certainly most welcomed by Malaysia."I am told that based on the analysis carried out, an area that has been recognised as a World Heritage Site can register an increase in tourist arrivals of up to 30 per cent in the first year," he said at the ceremony to hand over the letter of recognition of Melaka and Georgetown as a World Heritage Site at the Dataran Merdeka, here Saturday night.
Penang and Melaka state governments must do their best to protect the heritage sites..."Keep in mind that Malaysia has only three world heritage sites. Thus, they must be protected at all costs," he said.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister described the recognition of Melaka and Georgetown as World Heritage Sites as very appropriate."The history of Melaka and Georgetown had begun centuries ago. The location of both sites along the Melaka Straits is most strategic as the straits had been the most important route for trade between the East and the West."The arrival of the various communities from all over the world to Melaka was the beginning for all things... Eventually Malaya became a multiracial country until today-BERNAMA (edited)

Abdullah menegaskan, Melaka dan Pulau Pinang perlu mengambil segala langkah melindungi Tapak Warisan Dunia.
Jelas beliau, kegagalan untuk memenuhi segala garis panduan yang ditetapkan termasuklah kawalan terhadap pembangunan akan mengakibatkan pengiktirafan ini ditarik balik.

‘‘Jika ini berlaku, ia adalah satu kerugian yang amat besar bukan sahaja kepada negeri terlibat, tetapi juga kepada negara."
‘‘Ingatlah Malaysia mempunyai tiga sahaja Tapak Warisan Dunia justeru, pertahankanlah ia dengan apa jua cara sekalipun,” tegas beliau - UTUSAN (edited)

Yang nyata, sejarah kita dilacurkan oleh politik demi kepentingan pelancongan. Berdasarkan kepada analisis yang disentuh oleh PM diatas, apa sahaja yang diwartakan sebagai tapak warisan boleh menjana ekonomi, oleh itu ia tidak semestinya Georgetown atau Bandar Melaka sahaja, Berhala Besar Batu Caves itu pun boleh dijadikan tapak warisan dunia, kalau direstu orang politik.
Yang peliknya kenapa Georgetown yang dipilih? Apa kelebihan Georgetown kalau hendak dibanding dengan...tiada apa yang hendak dibandingkan, semua peninggalan sejarah kita yang 'authentic' telah dihancur dan diletupkan. Oleh itu agenda siapakah ini? (Yang pasti bukan idea PM atau DYMM Agong)
Taj Mahal, Piramid, Tembok Besar China, Taman Tergantung, Gua Petra, Brodubur, Angkor Wat dan banyak lagi warisan adalah hasil binaan dan kreativiti anak tempatan. Tapi kita pula terbalik, hasil warisan PENDATANG pula yang kita sibuk nak agungkan. Maka kian terhakislah jati diri dan warisan bangsa yang sebenarnya. Akhirnya, yang rugi anak bangsa kita sendiri yang tidak dapat membeza kota A Famosa dan Kota Melaka dan 'Kota Berhala'.
Teringinke orang Jawa nak ganti A Famosa yang roboh dengan papan?
