KUALA LUMPUR: FRASER’S Hill will suffer the same fate as Cameron Highlands if the authorities continue with their lackadaisical attitude in preserving the lush forests and its sensitive eco-system. “We have lost Cameron Highlands due to rampant deforestation and agriculture, but Fraser’s Hill has retained its beauty and serenity until now. It is important to keep Fraser’s Hill as a natural heritage,” she told the New Straits Times. It was reported that the Pahang Forestry Department had issued a stop order on all logging activities near the hill. Wan Junaidi said the plot was state government land with mining lots within the Batu Talam Forest Reserve, which was about 15km from Fraser’s Hill.
