+ | ===Telomain dog=== | ||
+ | There's one breed of dog named after Telom - Telomian dog, these dogs were found near Telom river, Pahang, Malaysia. They were working dogs to the Orang Asli, hunting small animals, they're very skilled in climbing also. A Antropologist, Dr. Orville Elliot discovered these dog and some of them were brought to United States. Telomians became highly values in United States and in Europe too. | ||

+ | *A sad news of Telom river | ||
+ | The local climate in Cameron Highland is not what it used to be anymore, it is well known that the climate is not as cool as before. There is official report stating that the surface air temperature increases over time and a drop in rainfall over Cameron highland. | ||
+ | This is caused my loss of forest cover, enlarged cultivation plots and increased human activities. At Telom river, the water flow increases over time, caused by land clearing without soil protection measures, and this causes the clear water to turn yellow. Undoubtedly tourism at Cameron Highland will continue to increase, this will harm Telom river's flow in long run. '''Don't miss the opportunity to visit Telom river'''. | ||
