Ct3833 Supersonic December 5, 2023 Share December 5, 2023 (edited) It is becoming forest in a city . Forest City: Inside Malaysia's Chinese-built 'ghost city' Forest City was meant to house one million people - but only a handful of its units are occupied "I managed to escape this place," Nazmi Hanafiah laughs, slightly nervously. A year ago, the 30-year-old IT engineer moved to Forest City, a sprawling Chinese-built housing complex in Johor, on the tip of southern Malaysia. He rented a one-bedroom flat in a tower block overlooking the sea. After six months, he'd had enough. He didn't want to continue living in what he calls "a ghost town". "I didn't care about my deposit, I didn't care about the money. I just had to get out," he said. We had arranged to meet in the same tower block he used to live in. "I'm getting goosebumps just being back", he said. "It's lonely around here - it's just you and your thoughts." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67610677 Edited December 5, 2023 by Ct3833 ↡ Advertisement 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic December 5, 2023 Share December 5, 2023 One billionaire in SG bought a whole condo and only use a few units for his family. Some people live here also have the whole block to themselves! No need to wait for the lifts and squeeze with people. Parking lot so empty can always park in a single lot! No worry someone open the door and scratch your car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once, I took a domestic flight in US. It was one of those propeller planes. Whole plane only few people. My seat happen to be next to the only air-stewardess, who was an auntie. Chatted with her throughout that few hours flight. I value such experience better than a business or first class.....

Ct3833 Supersonic February 4 Share February 4 Now that the Johor sultan is the king, he will have all the influence to channel the focus to forest city, whether it is useful or will it be successful in future is beside the point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxcvb Turbocharged February 4 Share February 4 (edited) Just went forest city last week. Actually it's not that bad as reported. Yes, it's still very quiet, but there are people staying judging by the units I saw lighted up across all blocks - at least around 30-35%. Below some blocks have mom-n-pop stores, usually Chinese-owned convenient store and eateries. The eatery can smoke inside, nobody care. 😆 Many duty-free shops selling alcohol. Mary Brown closed, no more. Beach is meh. Hotel is ok, 1 night will do. There are 2 hotels there - Marina Hotel and Golf Hotel. Golf hotel is the newer one at the golf course. Overall I'm satisfied with my 1 night stay. Good to bring mistress there so won't bump into relatives, friends or colleagues. 🤪 Edited February 4 by Zxcvb 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, their main goal is to sell news.......the more sensational, the better. I had been there many years back and even then, I find it quite a nice peaceful place to chill. Big spaces and few people. Edited February 4 by Starry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
