Genting, Bentong and Raub: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

Bentong district covers 1,831 km² and is run by the Bentong Municipal Council. It was part of Raub district until 1919. Genting Highlands was founded by Lim Goh Tong in 1965 and its first hotel opened in 1971. In 2019 Pahang gazetted its side as the Genting subdistrict, inside Mukim Bentong.

Raub grew as a gold town. The Raub Australian Gold Mine company was formed in 1889 and worked the mine until 1961. Today the town is known for durians. Fraser's Hill, in Raub district, began as a tin mining spot and was turned into a hill station from 1919.

Bentong's median rose from RM 4,220 in 2019. Its mean of RM 6,278 is well above the median, which points to a wide spread of incomes.
