SINTOK: The Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah, has consented to the construction of the Kedah Tua Museum to house artefacts and document the development of the ancient civilisation.
Sultan Sallehuddin said the museum would be developed by Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), with RM15 million in funding currently being raised.
He said the heritage of Kedah Tua reflected the state's historical identity and achievements, which should be preserved for future generations through proper documentation.
"The land of Kedah Darul Aman has a history far older than the institutions we have built today. For centuries, people have come to this land, bringing goods, beliefs, languages, ideas and cultures.
