About Bahau The Name The Legend The People The Cuisine The Location The Development The Phenomenon The Economy Interesting Places Facts and Figures [Home] [Search]

Like a horse, the economy of Bahau has galloped during the late 60s and 70s. It enjoyed tremendous growth through timber logging and agriculture activities . During the 70s, Bahau has been dubbed "The Little Golden Town". Crops of tycoons were produced at that time. However, the economy suffered a hiccup in the mid-80s and subsequently was crippled by the economic turmoil of the late 90s, which has wounded the economy of the entire South East Asian nations. With the remedial measures taken by the government, many of the abandoned projects in the town were revived. The long awaited three-star hotel is in the pipe-line. It will be located on the hill where the local municipality was previously sited. A new row of shops has mushroomed up on the northern side of the town. Along Gurney Road, a row of shops will be built adjoining the old ones. Hopefully the facade of the town will inevitably change for the better.
