摘要：Communities, groups, and individuals (or known as CGIs) are the main focus of the international law on intangible cultural heritage preservation, and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 focuses on community participation. In Malaysia, Articles 5 and 8 of the Federal Constitution provide a general principle on the rights of people to their livelihood and equality. However, the National Heritage Act [Act645] has no specific provisions on community participation. This paper highlights the international law on safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, including from selected foreign nation-state's legislations. The absence of specific provisions on community participation and the rights of the CGIs under the existing law raises the question of the extent of their participation, particularly in decision-making. The paper concludes with the recommendation that the existing law should be amended to include more comprehensive provisions on community participation.
