Fraser's Hill, located 1,524 metres above
sea-level in the mountains of Pahang is another enchanting hill
resort. Frasers Hill offers a rather quiet rustic air, more
in keeping with the rustic solitude of English countryside's.
The
resort is named after an English adventurer, Louis James Fraser,
who, towards the end of the nineteenth century built himself
a shack in the hills, operated a primitive mule train and embarked
on the lucrative trade in tin ore. This continued until the
first decade of the twentieth century when he apparently disappeared.
In 1910, Bishop Ferguson Davie of Singapore combed the mountains
in search of Fraser. The search for Fraser proved fruitless
but he had on the other hand discovered a perfect mountain retreat
- one that was to become one of Malaysia's foremost hill resorts.
Surveying work began in 1919 and set the stage for its development
as mountain retreat.
Today, in spite of the spate of developments and the addition
of modern hotels and luxury condominiums, Fraser's Hill retains
much of its natural charm and quiet tranquility through careful
planning and engineering ingenuity.
