Cameron Highlands is the largest and most genteel of the hill resorts in Malaysia, located in Pahang's northwestern corner, at an altitude of 1,829meters. The temperate climate of the Cameron Highlands has made it Malaysia's 'Green Bowl,' supplying cabbages, tomatoes, carrots, green peppers and lettuce to major cities in Malaysia as well as to Singapore. Tea and strawberries are ... grown on the terraced slopes of the Cameron Highlands, and the area possesses notable rose gardens as well.

The Conservatives' unexpected success in the 1992 election led Cameron to hit back at older party members who had criticised him and his colleagues. He was quoted as saying, the day after the election, "whatever people say about us, we got the campaign right," and that they had listened to their campaign workers on the ground rather than the newspapers. He revealed he had led other members of the team across Smith Square to jeer at Transport House, the former Labour headquarters.[40] Cameron was rewarded with a promotion to Special Advisor to the Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont.[41]
