Genting Highlands: Low Siau Kien remembers having to start up a coal stove in her room here before leaving for work in the morning to keep the room warm when she gets home.

“It would be freezing without the stove,” said the manager who works with Highland Mushroom (M) Sdn Bhd.

However, that is a thing of the past.

The weather, she said, is warmer now and her family had not used the coal stove for the last five to six years.

Another resident here, Lam Chee Wah, 55, said the indoor temperature used to be 16°C back in the 1970s.

“It would also get misty almost every day,” said Lam.

“Once, I remember that the temperature even went down to 9°C,” said Lam.

“Now, I can walk around indoors at night without a shirt,” he said.
