Highlands in danger from overdevelopment

I AM writing to express my grave concerns regarding the alarming rate of development and forest clearing in Genting Highlands, Pahang. The exponential growth of such construction has resulted in the disappearance of vast stretches of forested areas on this once pristine peak in the Titiwangsa Mountains.

This rampant deforestation not only disrupts the delicate balance of the local climate but also poses a grave threat to the area’s unique ecosystem and the diverse wildlife that call this region home.
