Camerons still place to relax in

Friday October 27, 2006

I REFER to the letter, “Bad holidays in Camerons” by Anita Qiu of Penang (The Star, Oct 26).

To me, spending your holidays in Cameron Highlands isn’t bad at all. It is just a matter of when you go there.

Qiu went to the highlands two days before Hari Raya. Therefore, she should expect that there would be a terrible traffic jam as people were rushing back to their hometowns or heading for holidays.

Illegal parking at Cameron Highlands could be avoided if one visits the resort during a non-festive season.

Parking has always been a problem as there is not enough parking space. The problem becomes worse during festive seasons.

However, I agree the multi-storey car park does not serve its original purpose of providing parking space for buses.

This is because of the poor architectural design. The building is too low and narrow for any vehicle.

Water supply has been insufficient on the highlands since a long time ago and during a festive season, consumption increases.

If there are fewer people on the highlands, then the problem with the water supply could be avoided.

In conclusion, Cameron Highlands should not be classified as a poor tourist spot because these problems occur mostly during the festive period.

It is indeed a great spot to relax in if you choose the correct time to spend your holidays there.
