KUALA LUMPUR: The arched gate of Pudu Prison’s entrance will be made into a memorial under the area’s redevelopment.“Pudu Prison is not something to be made a national heritage, the entrance is good enough,” Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim told reporters on Wednesday.He added the prison was not a building that was under the ministry’s heritage building list.Dr Rais said that for a historical building to pass “the heritage test”, it must possess significance in the arts and good taste.It must also be something that had demonstrated the country’s contribution to the welfare of society, he said.“A prison is hardly that,” he added.
