History
Genting Highlands was developed in the mid-20th century by Lim Goh Tong as a cool-climate retreat; its growth combined private investment with engineering to build roads, resorts and the later SkyWay cable system.
Conservation
The highland ecosystem is sensitive to development and visitor pressure—stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and limit single-use plastics to reduce impact.
