[edit] History

Genting Sempah-Genting Highlands was used to be a private highway owned by Genting Highlands Resort. The construction of the highway was regarded as one of the most astonishing engineering project in Malaysia. However, the frequent landslides at he highway during the recent years have caused the highway to be recommissioned as a federal road in 2005.
