In these days, the traces of the age-old historical buildings are getting less and less in view. With the tall-building is surrounding them, they are getting replaced by the skyscrapers and consuming one by one. Should this change be a necessary for us to be dubbed as civilized person living in the millennium era? To me, I personally feel not and has rejected the notion above with two reasons as below.
Historical building has its own unique and remains thereafter. Take an example of Khoo Kongsi at Cannon Square. Scores of the info could have been elicited by the viewing of its structural building, woven clothing, craftsmanship and others. Without all of these great legacy which are inherited since ancestral time, the young generation likes us, would not stumble across to this community nor even know their existence in the face of Malaysia.
Historical building also helps in tourism. The best example is The Forbidden City in China. Each year, tens of thousands foreigners have been teeming up to this capital because of its magnificent sculpting skills on marble stones, the splendid of administration Emperor Hall and the greenish of the Emperor Garden. All these great artifacts only left available in Beijing. Without it, most of the tourists would not hesitate to uncheck the tick-box in China and take flight to Beijing.
Therefore, the message is clear, historical building are indeed have brought two advantages. The unique identity embedded within itself and the center attraction for tourists to flock into. At here, I am
urging the local authority to greatly preserve these little artifacts as best as they could, besides that it has also been becoming the greatest gift to younger generation not only they could gain access by the book but through the personal touring to these legacies left for them.
