In 1926, [ 14 ] a development committee was formed to zone off the moorlands agriculture, defense, administration, housing, and recreation. Later, a three-million-dollar road was constructed from Tapah to the highlands. It started from the 19th mile Tapah-Pahang Road and ended at Ginting "B" ( Tanah Rata ). [ 15 ] The three-year contract was awarded to Messrs. Fogden, Brisbane and Company. [ 15 ] The first installment of $250,000 was made in 1926. [ 13 ] The project commenced on 1 January 1928; it was completed on Friday, 14 November 1930 – 47 days ahead of schedule. [ 15 ] The building of the road was a challenge: the crew not only had to deal with the weather; they also had to cope with the risk of being struck down with malaria. The manning level varied from 500 to 3,000 workers during the construction stage. Throughout the contract, 375 employees were hospitalized for fever. [ 15 ] The biggest problem faced by the contractor was the haulage of heavy equipment from the lowlands to the upper reaches. This setback was overcome with the use of steam-driven locomotives which were designed for work on steep gradients. [ 8 ] [ 16 ]
