Minister Nga Kor Ming said the ministry will identify old dilapidated markets to preserve their structure and architecture. Nga, who is Kepayang assemblyman, said he would visit some of the markets with potential to be developed as heritage markets, including the one in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, which was built in the mid-1960s.
