00:00 I was also in a way trying to assess why this place
00:03 wasn't as successful as in the early days.
00:07 I can confidently say it is in decline.
00:11 Once a popular Pahang tourist spot,
00:14 Malaysian Tourist Guide's Council President, Jimmy Leong,
00:17 says Fraser's Hill looks shabby with residents' complaints
00:19 about multiple infrastructure issues falling on deaf ears.
00:23 The local authority need to sit down with them,
00:26 listen to their complaints, and prepare their plan.
00:29 It must be a blueprint to revitalise Fraser Hill.
00:34 Jimmy Leong says he is saddened to see the hill station
00:37 in its present state of disrepair.
00:40 He believes the Pahang government is unlikely to prioritise
00:43 Fraser's Hill as a tourist spot because it is looking to develop
00:46 and promote other resorts in the state.
00:48 Leong says the government needs to put Fraser's Hill
00:51 back on the top of the list again,
00:53 given its rich historical background.
00:55 The Hill's Nature and Heritage Society Chairman, Nick Jasmine Hugh,
00:58 says she had presented a report to state agencies and officials
01:01 earlier this year, setting out a list of development
01:04 and infrastructure issues affecting the hilltop village.
01:07 However, she says no action has been taken
01:09 to address the matters raised.
