Forest City in Johor, Malaysia, a massive housing complex intended to accommodate thousands of Chinese families, is largely empty and has earned the nickname "Ghost City." Only 1% of the dwellings are occupied, and many of the buildings and amenities, including shopping centers and playgrounds, have been abandoned.

Similar ghost settlements have emerged in other countries, such as Australia, due to factors like asbestos contamination. The future of projects like Forest City remains uncertain as the property development industry faces challenges and stricter regulations.
