HISTORY OF GENTING HIGHLANDS OWNER ( LIM GOH TONG )

GENTING HINGHLANDS was founded by Lim Goh Tong, who arrived at the shores of Malaysia from Fujian, in 1937. Born in 1918, Lim was a young man, only a lowly carpenter while he picked up the local Malay language. For the next few years, he dabbled in vegetable farming & petty trading, but eventually involved himself in the scrap metal & heavy machinery business. It was through this industry that Lim finally made it rich. The end of World War 2 signaled rapid development in Malaysia, fueling the demand for Lim's stock of second hand equipment for theme mining & rubber plantations. From there, he ventured into iron mining & then construction.
