Forest city is not a ghost town. It was the pandemic that put a halt to all activities and business there. Its now thriving back to its potential. Every weekend people are coming and bustling there. Occupancy is also increasing steadily. Don’t believe all the biased reports about forest city. Come down yourself and see it to believe. The place is very well mantained. So much better than most other places in johor. In fact I’ve never even seen any rats before at all after living here for a year…

I wonder how Forest City will affect the other building projects in JB. Also, when the rails completed, do you think demand will go up if geopolitical issues don’t continue to worsen?

Johor is by far a better place to live than the congested over crowded and over price little red dot.
