The road to Genting began with a nine-day expedition to the summit of Gunung Ulu Kali by our founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong himself in 1963.

Work for the Genting Main Road began in earnest in August 1965 and through the tireless efforts of countless individuals under the employ of the Genting Malaysia Group, the Main Road was opened in 1969 with the first hotel being opened on 8 May 1971.

Because of this great legacy, we have worked tirelessly to improve and maintain the road, and what you see today is an approximately 24-km stretch of pristine private road that connects the thriving community that now calls Genting Highlands their home.

Genting Malaysia has significantly contributed to the tourism economy, providing jobs to over 10,000 Malaysians annually. On top of this, we prioritise engaging locals for procurement and vendors, which benefits even more people.

Due to the resort's popularity, various businesses have also arisen in the area, including many property development plans that branch out further into the mountains from the Genting Main Road.

We recently collaborated with the Ministry of Housing and Local Government to build the Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Gohtong Jaya. This new fire station will ensure a quicker and more effective response to fire or other emergencies.


While the fire station and quarters were one of our most recent collaborations with the government, we were also responsible for setting up the mountain’s first police station too, the Balai Polis Genting Highlands.

Closer to the community, through our Genting Green Generation (G3) program, we also regularly engage with schools nearby like SK Sri Layang.

We believe that a rising tide raises all boats, so we have cared and continue caring for the local community growing around us.


 


Of Genting Malaysia’s more than 10,000 acres of land, less than 10% has been developed, and habitats protected cover 90% of the total land owned.

When the first cable car, the Genting Skyway cable car, was being built in 1997, tree felling was minimised, and building materials were also airlifted to the site by helicopter.

Throughout the resort, exposed surfaces and slopes were planted with turf and hydroseeding to minimise soil erosion. This practice continues today with Genting Nature Adventures, where companies have been invited to sponsor our verging efforts to prevent and reduce erosion that may cause landslides.

Through this initiative we've managed to plant 5,763 trees to date to restore forest edges, and to protect our natural assets, we've set up ex situ (outside of its natural place) planting sites for endemic and rare native plants. 

We designated three types of forests as Biodiversity Parks to achieve comprehensive biodiversity conservation and safeguard unused rainforests. This initiative develops features for biodiversity tourism and streamlines data collection for our sustainability initiatives.

Different forest and habitat preservation programmes are underway at each park. We conduct biodiversity impact assessments at four levels: global, policy, programme and planning, and project. Genting Malaysia collaborates with various organisations, external agencies, and species experts, including Jabatan Perhilitan Malaysia, and the Forest Research Institute Malaysia.
