THE Preservation of Monuments Board (PMB) has merged with the National Heritage Board (NHB) as part of an on-going move by the Government for smaller statutory boards to merge with larger ones.

Mr Michael Koh, CEO of NHB said the merger adds 'another dimension' in NHB's efforts to 'nurture and enrich the entire heritage ecosystem'.
