For anyone going to Fraser's Hill (Malaysia), Durai - the local bird  
expert - is worth his weight in gold! He can also arrange  
accommodation if you wish. Every other birder in Malaysia knows Durai  
and they always ask if you met him!
Contact details for Durai as per Carl's email.

Dear All,
 I apologise for the off subject post, but it may be of interest to  
any Birders heading off to Malaysia. Many birders visiting Fraser's  
Hill stay in the Fraser's Hill Development Corporation (FHDC)  
accommodation such as the Puncack Inn and the various Bungalows  
operated by the FHDC.
I discovered during the week that the FHDC has closed ALL of their  
accommodation for renovation. It is planned to have the renovations  
completed early this year. I don't know how the world economic  
situation has affected the completion date, but I would strongly  
advise checking the situation first. There is plenty of other places  
to stay of course, but I have found the FHDC Bungalows to be the  
best option in the past. I do not know how the renovations will  
affect the prices, but I imagine that they will be upgraded as well.
 Fraser's Hill's bird expert is still employed by the FHDC and can be  
contacted on + 60139831633 or 
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
