MALAYSIAN POSTMARK: FRASER'S HILL

Fraser's Hill (Bukit Fraser) is located at Pahang. Fraser's Hill derives its name from Louis James Fraser, a solitary Scottish pioneer, who set up a tin-ore trading post in the 1890s.

The British army had not explored the Titiwangsa Range (Banjaran Titiwangsa), so Fraser recruited guides and coolies for an expedition to the upper ridges, prospecting for gold or other valuable metals. At the top he found an ancient forest of moss-draped trees and ferns with a prehistoric appearance, kept constantly moist in the cloud layer.
