I sincerely apologise for not being able to attend the launch. I truly admire Mr. Delong’s concern for the planet’s environment in general and Fraser’s Hill specifically and hope one day I can follow he’s footsteps. To those who attended the launch, the contents of the brochure ” Treasure Trails ” is a huge effort on Mr. Delong’s part to make us as the people of Fraser’s Hill to start realising the importance of preserving our heritage seating by our own doorsteps.
