However, despite Malaysia being a country with developing technology infrastructures, it can be realized that there is still a lack of museum websites that have applied this technique successfully. Furthermore, looking at most current existing museum websites in Malaysia today, it is found that, these entire websites are poor at implementing website navigation usability and focused primarily in text rather than graphics. Thus, it may result in the loss of interest to the users and they may unable to find the content that they want to view.

    Journal of Surveying, Construction and Property (JSCP) Volume 7, Issue 1 2016 ISSN: 1985-7527 Decisions made on the Development of the Hill Station of Cameron Highlands from 1884 till present day Robert C.M. Weebers1 & Hanizah Idris2 Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Department of Southeast Asian Studies, Universiti of Malaya, Malaysia. [email protected], & [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to show which decisions were taken to direct the development of Cameron Highlands with regard to the usage of the area from 1884 till the present day. Is the character of Cameron Highlands maintained as a hill station for relaxation and health as intended by the British or does the development take another direction. The development of Cameron Highlands is well planned and organized by the British. The hill station is meant to be a sanatorium, for relaxation, amusement and agriculture (tea plantations and vegetable farms). Decisions are made on the construction of roads, the lay-out of the area, distribution of land for residential or agricultural use, on the establishment of townships and the erection of buildings. Present day development of Cameron Highlands is linked to tourism (agro-tourism, eco-tourism and cultural and heritage tourism). In the last years a dramatic increase in the development in Cameron Highlands takes place where areas of forests are cleared for vegetable and flower growing as well as for housing development. This has resulted in soil erosion problems, siltation of lakes and rivers. There is an urgent need for conservation, agriculture, watershed protection and resort development.

  • Cameron Highlands in Malaysia
    Cameron Highlands in Malaysia Cameron Highlands is one of the largest hill stations in Malaysia Far away from the scorching heat of the plains lies the Cameron Highlands, one of Malaysia's largest hill stations and a popular hideaway for locals and tourists alike. The place offers a host of activities like visiting indigenous strawberry farms and rose gardens, trekking to tea plantations, shopping for farm fresh produce and enjoying meals in charming Tudor-style resorts. Situated in Western Malaysia, 1500 meters above sea level, the Cameron Highlands consists of picturesque townships like Ringlet, Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Tringkap, Kuala Terla, and Kampung Raja. Greenery and oodles of tranquility pervade these townships that make them one of most sought after vacation spots all year round. Cameron Highlands Attractions & Things to do Tea Plantations: A visit to the Cameron Highlands is incomplete without tasting a fine cup of tea and having a first- hand experience of how tea is processed. The BOH Tea Plantations, the leading tea grower of Malaysia, has four tea gardens in the Cameron Highlands. The Bharat Tea Plantation extends over acres of undulating slopes, with two tea houses that serve fresh tea, cakes, scones, English biscuits and strawberry jam to the weary travelers. Mossy Forest: Known as the Peak of Cameron Highlands, these high mountains are able to absorb moisture directly from the clouds, so they are referred to as 'mossy forests' or 'cloud forests'. Various hiking trails take the visitor through a rich fauna and flora. Hikers are advised to watch out for pitcher plants, orchids, monkeys, birds and snakes.
