Is Forest City really a ghost town? 

As a Singaporean, I wholeheartedly believe that Johor's public transit system can mimic ours. They just need to have the right focus and insightful planning ten years down the road in connecting towns and big villages across Johor. They can do this to make their football team elite class. So, with proper channeling to commuting, they can make it also.

Its looks more like a abandoned housing development. A fail project that will cost millions a month to maintain.

Lies again? Premier League

They build all these useless mega projects because it is through these projects, that the Malaysian bumiputera government officials over the last 6 decades get money and kickbacks from the developers and contractors. They get millions$ of dollars from the developers and contractors when they offer these developers and contractors the building projects that pays the developers and contractors hundreds of millions of tax payers' monies. Basically the Bumiputera government takes the people's money, passes it to these developers/contractors who charge exorbitant fees for it and in return the bumiputera government leaders get kickbacks. Many of these monies trickle down to their supporters and cronies who go round garnering votes for them in the name of Islam. They are stuck. As a muslim, if you do not vote for them, you are working against Muhammad(pbuh) and allah. If you vote for them, they embezzle monies and sometimes also line your pockets. So who will you vote for? Of course them! The only viable solution to save Malaysia is to dismantle the Malaysian Constitution and tear Islam out. Otherwise, the problems will never go away. Remove and dismantle political Islam once and for all, ban religious political parties, and strive towards secularism and perhaps there is still hope for the Peninsula.

Why? The buildings r meant for high density and thrs nothing there. Introverts want space but also have access to amenities which is the polar opposite thr. Its just happen that currently no ppl lives thr

YG penting Tenang Aman....otaq kt lutut KER Kate bihah bongok

@@l_ifeefi_l1998 he was mentioning according to current situation.

Not if you want to make money tho

Probably wont be anymore after this video lol

liveable? You defo need a car to buy even the basic necessities.

And very quiet too

Not until you encounter an emergency during the night and realized that help is nowhere near. With such low occupancy, mosquitoes will thrive in such a city. Lifts breakdown takes many days to repairs, so enjoy your climb up the poorly lit staircase.

Started only in 2016 idi0t, give some time it will eventually fill up.

@@IamHandsome4u That's catastrophic numbers for a development 7 years old. The units are already losing a good part of their value at this point.

@@Noah-ws8ho chill...2020-22 were hit by pandemic, its a $78 billion project not your school project dum dum, big projects take time to bear its fruit.🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I think the problem here is that even though 80% of the units are sold. But they are all have been chinese nationals that don't actually live there which contributes to the low occupancy of the units.

@@IamHandsome4uwhy are you making the person idiot? It’s 8 years old and a complete disaster

What a shame.

*ikr*

No people around- sounds like heaven. Might move there!

@@rachkate76 i had the same idea. Go in there no one will know.

Janji bola power...jiwa dah kene beli

What are you talking about? Of course Malaysians are allowed to buy it!

​@@vinsontan25of course malaysian can buy.. its in malaysia.. but naah.. not for malaysian rite?.. i meant was not build for malaysian.. dont see any mosque.. or schools.. one time.. the developer even had idea for all the road signs to be in chinese.. how about that?..

Malaysian prefer landed house.

@@badokyng4072We should build a orangutan rehab for those towering buildings, would do us more good than having foreigners on our land.

1 million PRC coming to forest city

Local level, state level and federal all will have different stake and interest in any project. Lots of trade needs to be done for any project to move forward, this is worse with democracy because stake holder changes when parties change so this process needs to be repeated. This is how those inconsistent policy came about.

Its all about money , profiteering is the real thing .

Cronyism. They build all these useless mega projects because it is through these projects, that the Malaysian bumiputera government officials over the last 6 decades get money and kickbacks from the developers and contractors.

HSR cancellation is the most stupid decision made by malaysia government....have to pay 200 million USD for that.....

Don’t conflate Singaporean with Chinese. Seditious.

That's a fact

Still malaysian can get those rent. There's a lot empty tenant

The PRC citizens arent compalaining. Its worst back home. Apartments not built but developer gone bust..

Much better then you don't have any return at all from the investment....,.it's the same as playing share ...the risk of market go down or up....

Proposed but never happening

How the f is Johor considered massive? Where are you from that you think Johor is massive? Lol I went to the map to look. The whole of peninsula Malaysia is even smaller than the average size of one US state.

@@chaotiongsai if you compare it to other malaysian states it is big. Dont compare it with texas. Even the UK could fit into texas

@@kleemanjad My family is from Sarawak. I don’t find Johor big at all. Maybe you are comparing it to Singapore.

@@kleemanjad the UK is a small country lah. Even Malaysia if East Malaysia is included is significantly bigger than UK. However US where I live now is 30 times of Malaysia

And why would SG do ta to benefit MY 🥸

Exactly. I think some of the people interviewed didn't understand that.

bro is a place filled with druggies bro

Its actually more than 90%. Less than 10 shops opening, Abandoned ones easily more than hundreds, you do the maths. Average 1 tenant per floor, that is also counted as the current occupancy which they choose to show for good image. Nearest township is at least 30 mins drive, if its not a ghost town i dunno how you refer it. A sanctuary for the isolated perhaps?

It was started in 2016, chill, it will take some time to fill up.

You mean an ascetic. An ascetic shuns conveniences and modernity. An introvert simply shuns people. Even an introvert would like to have essential services within a day's drive at highway speeds.

Alone at "my own" beach, gym, park, pool,etc..... what's not to like?........i love it! 💆

@@mysmartieteevee3036 went once. The beach not clean, the pool in the video was just recently cleaned up. it was dragonfly-infested in 2022.

Are you Malaysian? Malaysia have Strata management act, otherwise who will buy Strata title property.

@@henrybutcher9436 I think that the provisions are either not as clearly spelt out as Singapore Land Titles (Strata) Act, or poorly adhered to. Beyond that, paint quality is very important. Singapore buildings buy some of the most expensive antifungal paint in the world to make sure our buildings do not look tardy.

@@henrybutcher9436 since when malaysia law and management act are up to standard? Are u the henry butcher, management and valuer? If u are, then u should know, management body like u charge stupid blood sucking rate for low quality management, leaking, potholes, tiles pop up here and there, pool always in maintenance, car park like a retention pool, always fill with water and many more, even some high end condo have these kind of issue and yet here u are talking about Strate Act. The management will start to improve when JMC take over, since the landlords have more power and they could remove developer and any stupid management firms from managing the building. The developer deliver a piss poor bulding/project and the same applies to the management body

What a shame- so much potential.

It will be presentable only for as long as people continue to pay maintenance fees and the parent developer has not given up on selling the place or has not run out of cash back home.

Less than 1% occupied. More than 90% shops closed. If this isn't considered as a ghost town then i've a bridge to sell you.

Wow. Flipping mental gymnastics. When Malaysian businessmen or citizens tell you water is not water, it is time to put money in places like Singapore instead where the legal structures are more consistent

I go there almost every month for good authentic Chinese food in 4 to five restaurants there including a Chinese Muslim(Hui) one from Lanzhou. It is a great place for people who enjoy serenity, hide from crowds,.. BTW, FC is not even half completed yet.

​@@sleepyearth initial stages of every project is like that dum dum, it was started in 2016 only, give some time it will fill up.🤦🏻‍♂️

what's wrong with that statement

Imagine hating on a successful country, weak haters like you can relate. Repent today.

Racist! Mau sewa cuma2?

no. Most bought by prc

Study hard, work smart. You too can live a wealthy lifestyle.

kondo bknnya mahal mana skrg.. rumah teres tu lagi mahal..

Housing tu yang mhal, mana nak dapat develop and profit buat projek di residential zone. Nk develop land lepas tu jual rumah contohnya Semi D untuk setengah juta satu unit, tu dah hilang logik dekat situ. Kan boleh kaji demografik masyarakat tu, lepas tu nk profit je, mana boleh kan? Kena ikut trend market masyarakat tu jugak.

​@@nicknick3994 memang x mahal pun sekarang, masalah nye banyak rakyat kita nak single unit low rise homes, x semua nak high rise homes. Rumah yang 1 2 tingkat tu yang mahal dan semua orang nakkan housing begitu.

@@zekeaffy9647 betul.. so komen yg kata rakyat kita x mampu nak beli rumah sini mmg mcm x berasas laa skit.. padahal boleh je nak beli

Give free confirm everyone come,easy

You think Msia buyers are idiots?

@@melvinch What if they sell them for 1/10 of the original price? Would you buy one?

yeah, sure. Just like what they did in Vancouver lmao

Even if they give me for free, the outstading maintenance fee owed over the years will kill. 30 minutes from other township, 2 hours from Singapore, I'd visit once or twice per year max, more expensive than hotel.

​@@wahlaubu7609how many years of maintenance fee owed, maybe free also not worthwhile.

It's 10% occupied by people, so not ghost enough.

@@teykengwei only 90% haunted

Antu pon freee😂😂

actually memang open for all, takde reserve for just org PRC je. Siapapun boleh beli and sewa kan unit.

@@vikramganasen btul tu cume melayu yg mampu ni fikir xberbaloi sbb rumah tu pulau and nk tinggal pun mesti stahum brape kali je and kalau ulang-alik mungkin jauh dari tempat kerja... Tak pasal² bini cakap main kayu lapan dgn org cina... 🤣
