Meanwhile in other parts of Malaysia ............ if it doesn't about Islam ........ DON'T dig! (Not surprising many Malaysian archaeologists cannot earn a living.) I'm sure there are many Hindu relics waiting to be discovered but would the government wants to admit Malays were once Hindus? Racism still thrives in Malaysia.
