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.
JOHOR BARU: The state government joins the growing call for fully vaccinated Malaysians in Singapore to be allowed to quarantine at home instead of spending 14 days at a designated quarantine centre.
State Investment, Cooperatives, Entrepreneurship Development and Human Resources committee chairman Datuk Mohd Izhar Ahmad said it was about time this decision was reviewed to give some leeway to those fully vaccinated.
“We have discussed this in a special meeting with Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad and hope that the Federal Government will look into our proposal on this matter.
“We also want to help ease the financial burden of the vaccinated Malaysians who want to return home,” he said in an interview.
