Abandoned giant: The Lot1 mall known as Water Front City in Johor Baru.
JOHOR BARU: It used to be a sprawling mall, in a prime location overlooking the Straits of Johor.
Lot 1, the five-storey mall better known as Water Front City, closed in 2003 after just three years in operation, and all efforts to revive it since have been in vain.
What’s left as a reminder of the once thriving mall is its open car park area, which has been turned into a yard for the Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) to store towed vehicles. Each day, dozens of cars are towed and stored here including some which have been vandalised or even cannibalised for spare parts.
