"Exploring the Eerie Abandoned Ghost City of Forest City in Malaysia"
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. The development's slow progress, remote location, and declining property values have contributed to its desolate state. 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.
