AI Overview

Malaysian archaeological sites are sensitive because of the rapid pace of economic development, which poses a threat of destruction from construction projects like highways and housing estates.

Furthermore, the historical sites often involve non-Islamic monuments from previous Hindu and Buddhist civilizations, which can create cultural friction and objections from the predominantly Muslim local population, hindering conservation efforts for sites like the Bujang Valley. Limited resources, insufficient formal management plans, and a lack of skilled experts also present significant challenges to preserving these sites.
