Genting Malaysia Berhad
Resorts World Bhd has changed its name to GENTING MALAYSIA BERHAD,
effective from 18 June 2009 to reflect the Company’s primary country of listing,
origin and current operations.
As the Company is a key subsidiary of Genting Berhad, the new name also reflects
the direct relationship between the two entities and will enable the Company to
leverage on the immense strength and value of the Genting brand.
Our corporate website is now known as www.gentingmalaysia.com.
Resorts World Genting
Overview
Just 45 minutes outside the bustling metropolis of Kuala Lumpur is Resorts World
Genting. Amidst the refreshing cool air of the mountain, Resorts World Genting is an
integrated award-winning* resort that has everything to offer, combining fun-filled
attractions with entertainment and the luxury of an international class destination, to
cater for the many diverse cultures and visitors from all walks of life.
Initially conceptualised as a retirement home in the mid-1960s by its respected
founder, the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, Resorts World Genting has since evolved into
one of Asia’s leading integrated resorts for entertainment, recreation, relaxation and
conventions.
The cool mountainous surroundings of the resort is a must-go destination to all
visitors to Malaysia. The resort features six hotels with over 10,000 guest rooms (one
of which, namely First World Hotel, was once named World’s Largest Hotel by
Guinness World Book Of Records), over 90 distinctive dining outlets, an alluring
shopping paradise with over 80 stores, pulsating indoor and outdoor theme parks
with more than 50 fun rides and more! The resort also operates Genting Skyway –
1
the longest cable car in Southeast Asia - spanning 3.38km from the mid-hill at
Gohtong Jaya to Highlands Hotel at the peak.
Extensive plans over the years, including the completion of the First World Complex -
First World Hotel, First World Plaza and Genting International Convention Centre - in
2001 have ensured that its facilities and amenities have made it Malaysia’s premier,
fully-integrated family holiday destination and the resort of choice. Over 19 million
visitors, both Malaysians and international visitors, visit Resorts World Genting each
year.
However, with so many exciting attractions up at the hill, Resorts World Genting
prides itself for maintaining the natural greenery that is has surrounding it. Only 4%
of the total 10,000 acres has been used for the development of the resort.
Unadulterated rainforest surrounds the hilltop resort, offering visitors a refreshing
and cooling break from the hectic city environment with a variety of interesting flora
& fauna.
In June 2009, the resort took a responsible stance to preserve the natural beauty by
launching ‘Genting Goes Green’, an initiative that not only aims to preserve its
surroundings but also to manage its energy usage, for the overall betterment of the
surrounding and the earth.
Resorts World Genting is operated by Genting Malaysia Berhad (formerly known as
Resorts World Bhd), which also operates Awana chain of resorts & hotels.

Beyond Genting – Resorts World Genting
Chin Swee Caves Temple
Overview
Located 4,600 feet above sea level and at the most scenic site of Genting Highlands,
the Chin Swee Caves Temple is the perfect getaway for those who would like to
escape the hustle and bustle of city life. A Taoist temple, the Chin Swee Caves
Temple is situated on a 28-acre plot of rocky forested land donated by Genting Group
founder, the late Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Lim Goh Tong. The Chin Swee Caves Temple was
officially opened in 1994 after 20 years of continuous development by the then
Minister of Transport, Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik.
Overlooking the lush green slopes of virgin forests, the Chin Swee Caves Temple
takes full advantage of a picturesque setting on the hills by giving its guests a
guaranteed sense of serenity during their visit.
Highlights
Among some of the attractions one can find at the Chin Swee Caves Temple include
the newly-built observation square called the Sky Terrace. Spanning across 35,000
square feet, the Sky Terrace was built for guests to take a leisurely walk among the
‘clouds in heaven’. A large statue of the late Tan Sri Dato' Seri Lim Goh Tong, erected
in honor of his dedication to the Chin Swee Caves Temple, stands tall in the vicinity of
the Sky Terrace.
Right at the entrance, the beautifully-carved Nine-Colour Dragon Wall of Luck
greets visitors to Chin Swee Caves Temple. Each of the nine dragons has different
shades of color and according to Chinese folklore; each color represents a special
type of luck.
Within the vicinity, the large statues of Buddha and Kuan-Yin stand tall behind
the five-storey Temple. Besides praying to both Buddha and Kuan-Yin, devotees can
also pray to a black seated statue of Reverend Master Chin Swee, which is found
inside the Temple.
Just a few feet from the entrance, one could not miss the iconic 9-storey Pagoda,
which is decorated with hundreds of Buddha figurines. Inside the Pagoda, visitors
8
can find 10,000 blessing lamps installed for devotees of the Temple to dedicate to
those that they would like to be blessed by Buddha.
Perhaps the most popular tourist attraction at Chin Swee Caves Temple is the
educational Journey to Enlightenment that depicts the Ten Chambers of Hell.
According to Chinese beliefs, the soul of a dead person would be sent to the First
Chamber of Hell and his past deeds would be screened by Chin-Kwong-Wang, the
King of the First Chamber, who would decide whether or not and where he should
receive punishment. A good soul would be sent for rebirth in the Heavenly Realm and
an evil soul would be sent to one of the remaining nine chambers of Hell, each
empowered to impose various degrees of punishment.
Facilities
Accommodation
The Gohtong Hall, part of the Chin Swee Caves Temple, consists of 110 rooms – 93
triple rooms and 17 double rooms – for meditation, retreat and self discovery. All of
the rooms are equipped with basic facilities such as ceiling fan, standing shower and
luggage racks, and with the peaceful environment of the temple, the Gohtong Hall
will be the ideal place for those who seek a quiet time away from their busy daily
schedules.
Function Hall
The Chin Swee Caves Temple also boasts two meeting rooms with a built-up area of
1,400 square feet and 650 square feet respectively. The halls can accommodate up
to 280 pax and they are spacious enough to host a variety of functions, from
brainstorming sessions to group meditation activities and weddings.

Strawberry Farm
Located at Gohtong Jaya just opposite the Sports Complex is a 5-acre land that grows
within it over 100,000 juicy red strawberries. But do not be fooled by its name
because it is really much more than the endless rows of berries you see upon
stepping into the farm.
10
Within the farm, there is a wooden hut called Farmhouse where it serves fresh farm
food and all things strawberry. Try its very own Strawberry Coffee or for the non-
caffeine drinker, the Strawberry Tea will bring you the taste of the fresh berries.
There is also the sinful temptation of the Chocolate fondue Strawberry that is sure to
delight even the non-chocolate lover with its mix of sweet sour-tinged flavour. A
variety of mushrooms and fresh vegetables are for sale too.
But of course, the unique experience lies in running through the spacious farm in the
cool weather, in search of the biggest and juiciest strawberry with a basket in tow.
Nothing is sweeter than tasting the fruits of your own labour – well, almost like it.
For enquiries and information, please call 019-318 3831.
Orchid Farm
Waltex Biotec, a Phalaenopsis orchid specialist has recently opened an Orchid Farm
here just 9 km from the Resort, a little further ahead from Awana Genting Highlands
Resort. As Phalaenopsis orchids prefer a cooler climate at night around 15 to 20
degree Celsius, it is little wonder that the cool climate of Genting Highlands makes
growing orchid here ideal. All its research and development as well as hybrid
processes are done at their parent farm in Ulu Yam where the plants were then let
bloom in a cold room. With the opening of their second farm at Genting Highlands,
the orchids are now transferred to this 5.2-acre farm, which overall replaced the air-
conditioned room in Ulu Yam to allow the orchids to bloom in the most natural way.
Upon entering the farm, you will be swept away by the rows and rows of potted
orchids of gentle purple, white, red and yellow petals. The hybrid orchids you will see
here are the result of three years of research, development and growth. The potted
orchids may all look the same but each is different in its own beautiful way. Just ask
any of the trained staff at the farm and they will be quick to answer all your curiosity,
sharing with you their passion for orchids.
