  • PRIDE OF SARAWAK: WINNING THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OLYMPICS.

    Sarawak’s winning streak in 2026 continues as it successfully lands another prestigious international business event. This event, often likened to the “Olympic Games” of the global cultural calendar, is the 22nd ICOMOS Triennial General Assembly 2026 (ICOMOS GA2026), with Kuching earning the distinction of being the host city.

    ICOMOS Malaysia, the Malaysian national committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites, will host ICOMOS GA2026 between October 17 and 24, 2026, with at least 2,000 cultural heritage experts and professionals from over 130 countries participating in meetings and scientific symposiums, social events and workshops, and technical visits to significant cultural and natural heritage sites in Kuching, Sarawak, and other parts of Malaysia.

    With turbulent changes taking place in the world today, from conflicts and war to natural disasters and climate change, ICOMOS GA2026 will design its scientific symposium around the theme  ‘Living Heritage: Respect, Enhance, Accept, and Partnership’ to promote the positive role of heritage conservation in supporting and promoting peace, respect, inclusivity, and sustainability.

    “Sarawak is home to a wide variety of ethnicities, cultures, and traditions that give our destination a unique and powerful identity; therefore, preserving cultural heritage sites and buildings is essential for maintaining our connection to history, culture, and community. However, with rapid urbanization and modernization, it becomes challenging to balance development and cultural conservation”, said the Honourable Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Sarawak’s Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts. “The Sarawak Government is very proud to collaborate with ICOMOS Malaysia and deliver positive social, cultural, and economic benefits through the event, in line with Sarawak’s Post-Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 and Malaysia’s commitment towards the protection and management of cultural heritage.”

    Speaking in today’s press conference, ICOMOS Malaysia President Tiong Kian Boon stated that hosting the 22nd ICOMOS GA2026 in Kuching is a huge vote of confidence in ICOMOS Malaysia by the Sarawak Government and an enormous undertaking for the national committee.

    “It is the national committee’s dream for ICOMOS GA2026 to leave a lasting legacy of cultural interpretation and advocacy par excellence moving forward,” said Tiong Kian Boon. “We foresee delegates becoming advocates for the amazing experiences that Sarawak and Malaysia’s cultural heritage offer. Such a global event will have a high economic impact and wide-ranging benefits for future cultural tourism. We hope that ICOMOS GA2026 will highlight the importance of heritage as a tourism driver in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.”

    In terms of economic value, the event is expected to secure at least 16.3 million in total economic impact and a direct delegate expenditure of RM8.9 million, earning RM984,000 in taxes. Meanwhile, 1,301 job opportunities will be created for the local community.

    ICOMOS Malaysia Deputy President, Faisal Abdul Rahman, said “ICOMOS GA2026 aligns closely with the Malaysian government’s commitment towards the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in the protection and management of cultural heritage, particularly of the 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country, with many more new nominations on the way. GA2026 is an opportunity to highlight to an international audience the significant achievements of Malaysia and Sarawak in cultural heritage management as well as the role of the cultural heritage sector in the nation’s economic growth.”

    “Since launching the state-level business events campaign, Tribe Legacy Sarawak, in 2020, we are initiating more collaborations that lead to greater benefits for the industry and beyond,” expressed Amelia Roziman, BESarawak’s CEO. “The campaign emphasizes how collaborations can add greater value to business events. In the case of ICOMOS GA2026, we collaborated with Sarawak Government Ministries and Agencies and the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau to bring this significant event to our destination. Our hope is to establish a legacy where Sarawak becomes the central hub for culture and heritage conservation in the country.”

    ICOMOS Malaysia is seeking partnerships with the public and private sectors throughout Malaysia as strategic partners and/or corporate partners. To inquire about the collaborative opportunities or an interview with ICOMOS Malaysia, kindly contact Faisal Abdul Rahman (Deputy President, ICOMOS Malaysia) at +6013-6359292 or email empirefaisal@gmail.com.

  • FUTURE FORECAST: ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF MALAYSIA’S SHRINKING POPULATION.

    The Department of Statistics, Malaysia, has published the Vital Statistics report for 2023. This extensive document provides detailed insights into birth and death statistics, categorized by demographic attributes, at the national, state, and administrative district levels for the year 2022. These statistics, representing significant life events, hold a vital role in shaping policies and informing programs related to population management, healthcare, education, employment, and various other critical sectors.

    Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin, Chief Statistician Malaysia, highlighted that “the total fertility rate (TFR) in 2022 declined to 1.6 children for every woman aged 15–49 years as compared to 1.7 children in 2021. This fertility rate was the lowest in five decades.

    4.9 children per woman in 1970 Since 1970 up to 2012, the national TFR was still above the replacement level of 2.1 children, which indicates that the average number of children born per woman throughout her reproductive life has been sufficient to replace herself and her partner. However, the TFR started to decline below the replacement level from 2013 onwards. This declining trend in fertility rate is signaling the potential for a demographic crisis, such as population growth shrinking, an aging population, and economic and social implications. Based on the Principles and Recommendations for A Vital Statistics (Revision 3), United Nations Statistics Division (2014) manual, the replacement level of 2.1 children is the average number of children a woman would need to give birth by bearing a daughter who survives to childbearing age. If the replacement level of fertility is sustained over a sufficiently long period, each generation will exactly replace herself and her partner regardless of population migration”.

    For the period of 2011 to 2022, the TFR for all major ethnic groups in Malaysia has shown a declining trend. The highest TFR was recorded by Malay, with 2.1 children per woman aged 15–49 years. Meanwhile, Chinese recorded the lowest TFR of 0.8 children. At the state level, all states recorded TFR below the replacement level except three, namely Terengganu (2.9 children), Kelantan (2.7 children), and Pahang (2.1 children).

    Malaysia, along with several developed countries such as the United States of America (1.7 children), Australia (1.7 children), the United Kingdom   (1.6   children),   Japan (1.3 children), and the Republic of Korea (0.8 children), have observed a trend of fertility rates falling below the replacement level. Similar trends have also been observed in ASEAN countries, namely Viet Nam (1.9 children), Brunei Darussalam (1.8 children), Thailand (1.3 children), and Singapore (1.1 children), while the Philippines (2.7 children), Lao PDR (2.5 children), Cambodia (2.3 children), Indonesia (2.2 children), and Myanmar (2.2 children) were above the replacement level.

    For the past five decades, TFR has been declining in all selected countries, with a varying declining pace according to their level of fertility. There are few countries that have faced a decline in the level of TFR below the level much earlier, namely the United Kingdom (1973: 2.0 children), Japan (1975: 1.9 children), and France.

    (1976: 2.0 children), Australia (1977: 2.0 children), and Singapore (1977: 1.8 children). Therefore, France and the United Kingdom have proactively responded to the issue of declining TFR, which could potentially lead to a demographic crisis. They have pursued a strategy of increased migration to bolster their population numbers and labor forces. This approach aims to mitigate the potential economic and demographic challenges associated with declining fertility rates, such as aging populations and labor shortages.

    Meanwhile, he also added, “The number of live births was 423,124 births in 2022, a decrease of 3.8 percent (16,620 births) as compared to 439,744 births in 2021. More male newborns were recorded than females, with 218,345 and 204,779, respectively.

    The decline in the number of live births has contributed to the decline in the crude birth rate (CBR) from 13.5 births in 2021 to 12.9 births per thousand population in 2022.

    All states recorded a decrease in CBR in 2022 as compared to 2021 except for Sabah, which showed an increase from 12.2 (2021) births to 12.8 (2022) births per thousand population. This report also presents the number of live births and CBR at the administrative district level in Malaysia. The highest CBR in 2022 was recorded by the districts of Song, Sarawak, and Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, with both districts recording 4.3 births per thousand population. Meanwhile, Kinabatangan, Sabah, recorded the lowest rate of 4.6 births.

    Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin also said, “The number of deaths in 2022 was 206,525 deaths, a decrease of 8.0 percent (18,044 deaths) as compared to 224,569 deaths in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic. The crude death rate (CDR) also recorded a decrease from 6.9 (2021) to 6.3 (2022) deaths per thousand population. The number of male deaths in 2022 was 117,790, or 57.0 percent of the total deaths. Meanwhile, female deaths were 88,735 (43.0%)”.

    Besides that, CDR for most states decreased in 2022 as compared to 2021, except Perlis, Pahang, Perak, and Terengganu. W.P. Kuala Lumpur recorded the highest decrease of 1.7 points, from 6.8 (2021) deaths to 5.1 (2022) deaths per thousand population. Looking at the administrative district level, Kanowit and Song, Sarawak, recorded the highest CDR in 2022 with 14.3 deaths per thousand population, followed by Bukit Mabong, Sarawak (13.0), Selama, Perak (12.2), and Maradong, Sarawak (12.0). Meanwhile, the Kinabatangan district in Sabah recorded the lowest CDR with 1.9 deaths per thousand population, followed by Kalabakan, Sabah (2.0), and Samarahan, Sarawak (2.4).

    He added, “All age groups recorded a decrease in the number of deaths except those aged 0–14 years, which increased from 4,115 deaths to 4,754 deaths in 2022. The number of deaths aged 41–59 recorded the highest decrease, with a 20.4 percent decrease from 52,282 (2021) deaths to 41,640 deaths in 2022. Besides, the number of deaths for aged
    15–40 years and 60 years and over also recorded a decrease from 17,953 deaths to 14,830 deaths and 150,219 deaths to 145,301 deaths, respectively”.
