The Highs and Lows of Development in Fraser's Hill

There are lots of movements happening in the usually sleepy highlands of Fraser's Hill, with the Raub Draft District Local Plan 2035 proposing to revive and turn Fraser’s Hill into a major tourist destination. But residents and other stakeholders are divided as to what would be best for the future of this heritage spot, and it's long term survival. Special guest host Keith Kam heads up to the highland resort, to get the low down from residents, the planners, environmentalists and other stakeholders, on what they think the future of Fraser's Hill should look like.
