Video description:
Forest City is being built in the Malaysian state of Johor in the southern part of the country. Here, the Johore Strait acts as a natural border between Malaysia and the independent city state Singapore. It is one of the most ambitious urban development projects currently underway. An entire new city built from scratch.
Music from Artlist.io

This guy... he really doesn’t get enough recognition, which is sad because his content is comparable to Vox
that is what i thought. at first I thought it was a branch from Vox
Vox is a propaganda channel that probably gets it's funding from China. They would never make a video like this.
@@topcommentor1655 The quality and style of the video is comparable to Vox
@@topcommentor1655 Yes, the propaganda channel funded by China critsized the Chinese governments handling over thr Uighurs. Seems right.
@@jk-gb4et Why would it change the title of its video if its not biased?
I love your intro, it's really good.
It's brilliant 😍
Thanks a lot!
@@neoexplains Can you share tha intro song?
It’s really cool
TheGamersTrailer it’s called Continent by ANBR
My family travelled from Singapore to see the Forest City and were surprised to see most people there weren't Malaysians but rather Singaporeans or Mainland Chinese ._.
Damn, that's scary.
@@jep6608 what so scary about it?? have you never ever travelled out of the country before?
@@tsc7589 they literally invading the country indirectly but okay
@@yeniheriyani6640 invading?? When the Malaysia’s government is the one who giving them the approval? Brain is a good thing, try to use it.
@@tsc7589 and im talking what malaysian feels not the government . u really supportive at the comment section huh ? winnie the pooh gang also ah lmao 💀
I think you forgot to say, that this is built at sea level. Sea levels are ever changing and right now they are on the rise. The pace of this rise is only picking up, because climate change is a process that accelerates itself. You should mention that in respect with new development on shorelines. Great video, keep up the good work!
I pray that it floods there.
@@mochiisntbad6762 😂😂
When Mahathir criticized Forest City, guess who defended it?
The Johore Sultan
@Joshua张志鸿 agree bro😂
@Joshua张志鸿 Its ok, most of us aren't Johoreans
Joshua张志鸿 so scary
You're right. I think le majeste law is absurd. Monarchy should not be immune to critics. Because anything they do will affect commoners.
@God is Great But people don't blame the Sultan or the politicians
They prefer to blame the Chinese
Just look at all the anti Chinese comments under this video that got hundreds of likes
It's strange that the Sultan and the politicians are the ones who are pushing for this project, but they prefer to target their hatred towards the Chinese instead
But that's to be expected, racists don't care whether their arguments make sense or not, they only care about spitting their hate
Building an eco city in an artificial island that destroys a sea meadow. How ironic!
Compare to US is minor lol
@@LoxD123 What does the US have to do with this
@@LoxD123 I want to see your argument. Come on, don't be shy for what you've started.
Plus, with rising sea-levels from global climate-change this island-city will probably be underwater by 2050!
DANEIL LEE China destroys more ecosystem and causes more pollution then America. Maybe stop reading CCP propaganda
Wait, the Chinese are funding it, building it, and even reclaiming the frickin land for it. All Malaysia did was give permission. This is what's called a free lunch.
No such thing as a free lunch
Maybe if malays are better at economic management this wouldnt have happened. I mean even malaysian chinese in malaysia is doing better then malays themselves. lol.
A free lunch would be malaysian funding it, building it and reclaim the land for it for the chinese.
@@dickiewongtk that's not a free lunch either
Racist
It's like the island cove in the Philippines where once it was a wildlife sanctuary, now it's a big offshore online gambling site full of chinese workers
Actually visited the place, more like a tourist destination or a theme park since the housing is so expensive and they literally have malls
do people live there now?
@The One Those rich Chinese are buying for investment... Why would they want to stay in Malaysia?
@@appl2597 Malaysian so hot 🥵🥵
@@appl2597 because its close to singapore(sg) .... singapore property to expensive so they buy in forest city
Ahaha so it's basically Singapore?
As an Malaysian viewer myself, Forest City started around 10 years ago. They said it would have been the future. But, construction was slow. They said there would be 4 islands, but now the project keeps shrinking and shrinking. And then this is the fact, most of the property there are legit owned by Chinese investors. Because our people can't afford. The government took our taxpayers money to find projects like this,but we cannot afford it. Another example is the ECRL project. Which now is a standstill. The johore state has been looking forward to sell Legoland to foreign investors also. This few months my country has been in a political mess, so let's see where the development goes I guess.
Edit: thanks for the likes, most I've gotten so far. I see my alot of Malaysians replying to this. I just wanna say please please don't use the racial stereotypes. We are Malaysian, we shouldn't identify as Malay chinese Indian. Only if we work together, then we will achieve greatness. Thanks. Much love from Malaysia.
Edit 2: as what mahathir said to the Philippines president. Don't fall into China's debt trap (*cough the BRI) as we already seen what has happen to Sri Lanka and Jamaica.
Edit 3: thanks for 1k, and I really appreciate your views and your opinions.
Najib's administration was horrible... then Mahathir's little plan to switch sides failed... now the pandemic is one of the the few things stopping infighting within perikatan... 😔 makes me so sad and this video makes me sadder, hope our country will get better soon
Well , the sea levels are rising it might sink soon anyway xDD
keyword: "Chinese investor"
Nooooo not the legoland :(((
ECRL is not at a standstill though. Construction is still going on right now. Stopped for a while due to PKP but other than that, the PH govt stopped it for a while only to renegotiate. They did and it's going ahead.
"Eco cities" are not eco friendly.
its a oxymoron
or misnomer
yes it is belong to outsiders not malaysian because all be private .so where is malaysian standing when we talking about this place ?
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 greenwashing
Abis tu kat penang siap tambak laut tu eco friendly ke?? Butooo

@@ElivTraveller Better than the chauvinistically racist one.Right?

I know this is old comment but did u live under a rock? It was a very controversial topic in Johor back then. A lot of NGO medias covered this city a lot

Dude, thank you for covering my country. I don't even know this place exist. You deserve more recognition!
They used to have a banner written " the reserved mangrove forest in Malaysia" while their reclamation project is just right aside, it really disgusted me.
I saw job advertisement for Forest City, its said only for Mandarin speakers. This project is with collaboration with Johor's Sultan company. I don't think local Malays will be benefited from this project.
Because Malays won't buy it

These videos are amazing. To the point and very well explained and interesting to watch. Keep up the great pictures and video and descriptions . I know nothing about most topics but with your way of explaining its easy to understand and comprehend.
I was born and raised in Johor Bahru, I still come back to my hometown once or twice every month. Trust me, not a single person from Johor actually supported this project. Not one person I met can afford a house here. So if it is not for the people, who is it for?
It is for the people.
The Chinese people.
Malaysian here, not proud of this project at all.
Proud of the mega scandals, mega corruptions, 10 year kampung roads project, BTN project?
@@Gorilla6699 u mad china?
Johor sultan is proud tho😉
@@Kai-rust It's his project. He is selling the Johore land and Johoreans can't say anything about it. The stupidest people are those who are still worshipping the family.
Usually people are only informed what the government wants in Malaysia. While the rest of the citizen are ignorant about the rest of the reality.
When I was in Dataran Pahlawan (Shopping Mall) years ago, I saw some Forest City agents on a booth and they were advertising Forest City, all of them spoke Chinese.
Then how Malaysians understood them ?
@@shivanshna7618 just Chinese understand
Yeah because their main demographic are chinese and malaysian chinese, not necessarily the malays or indian malaysians
I know that the agents are Chinese Nationals, because they have that thick China accent that Malaysian Chinese don't have.
Not only that even their signs and flyers are all in Chinese, I couldn't even understand most of the words because my Chinese is bad.
China city actually, local don't have enough money to buy property there
Actually they get a lot of money to buy it .they just don't want live at there because it's not have any safety.
Locals? More like avarage locals, but I believe there is rich or high class locals in johor that can afford to buy properties there. U must understand this investment project target is not for avarage people or avarage investment its high end. Where high class people compete each other
Tak ramai orang melayu yang mampu beli...diaorang buat tu untuk cina2 yang kaya...mula2 buat pulau je...tak lama habis tanah melayu diaorang beli...
This intro is super unique, it’s very very good.
This is my home state and eco city is an eye sore. They destroyed the beautiful mangrooves that used to grow there for this sinking mini city. Plus it stinks in there. Smells like a sewage at low tide. the way they built the boxy towering apartments so close together didnt account airflow movment in an already hot and humid climate. We used to have picnics along tht strip of land tht they have now privatised for this ugly monstrosity.
Edit: To some of the people in the comment section. Pls dont rip into each other. The Chinese people are an industrial people as a race but China Chinese didnt achieve this project on the own. And it had nothing to do with the local Chinese or Malay communities. They are jst as unhappy and excluded from this project as the majority of Johorian's are. Keep the peace among us, the real problem-makers are in plain sight. Thanks for the likes.
typical chinese investment. china dont give a shit about environment and local culture. they just want power and money. you should vote for a government which stops chinas imperialism. if you want see what imperialsm do with country, then look to africa and what europe did to it. this will happen to south east asianc ountry when thy dont stop china
Woah I lived there in 2012-2013 and saw the constructions start in johor. Can’t imagine how much it has changed :/
That's what happened when you sold your country to China. It's an autocratic county that only care about influence, money and power. I hope Muhyiddin Yasin continues to follow Mahathir strategy to not trust China.
Chinese money is cursed
Bro it was built in a sand pile bro, see the sat images in video, there are no mangroves there, in the middle of the sea, it is not Kukup, which is where the mangrove reserves are, and still there anyone interested can visit Kukup its a park reserve.
Such an underrated channel. Deserves wayy more recognition!
Thank you!
Underrated because he deliberately leave out information. Look at 5:20 , he dig into the ownership of the Malaysian company yet mention no tie between the Chinese company to the CCP. Viewer will view this as the CCP propaganda Video.
@Ali sorry, I don't have enough money to start a 50 cent army.
@@xijingpooh5879 I think he made it pretty clear that it was a ccp move by talking about BRI. You are the problem.
Thanks for making a video about Malaysia. My suggestion will probably be speed up for video pace, but overall good job mate.
This is a very interesting channel. Thank you for the video it was very informative.
I'm living near there, and sadly yes this is the so-called future city .. of Chinese China. House there are expensive, and their discriminate of "Mandarin first" instead of English or Malay language is really pissed off local people who come and work there. This project destroyed so much mangroves tree and sea life around it. Most Chinese Malaysian don't like them. I remembered when I go there in 2015, a lot of chinese people from china coming with buses to survey their new home, at the same time, local guests coming in, bet you they even not entertain the locals, such discrimination. sorry for bad grammar
edit 11/2021: wow 1.2k! thanks guys! also thanks to neo and top luxury channel exposed this bs mega project
Try to protect your country from your enemy 🙏
Chinese people are good but Chinese government is greedy
That's what you get for voting a greedy government. Singapore was once filled with malays but now, they're the minority.
@muzzzeeeek Malaysia isn't backwards. It's per capita GDP (PPP) is around the level of the bottom half of the EU, or a poorer US state. It's quite rich.
@muzzzeeeek um please dont represent the whole ethnicity when you're speaking about your own opinion. I'm Malaysian Chinese but I was disappointed by how most Mainland Chinese behave outside of their country. I tried not to be subjective or hold any prejudice against them but they're defaming themselves and the word "Chinese"
I’m a Malaysian that lived in an international boarding school in Iskandar and I always wondered why I felt like a foreigner in my own country. Now I know why. Literally explains so much. Thank you for the video:)) I learnt so much about my own country.
as long as we don't have a strong state government that prioritizes people interest rather than 'someone' interest than like they said history definitely will repeat itself
Government should stop letting China 'colonizing' us before it's too late.
blaming Chinese Malaysian for being less competitive is really brilliant.
I can feel you. Feels really uncomfortable at these 'new' places. Yeah, its a project from China, but the ground is still Malaysia. They should honor its people and culture. But no, just shove money at our leader faces and all come loose. LEMBIK
Blame Najib. He brought them into our country.
I personally to look into this project, looking to invest in a condo. Once I arrived, the salespeople were really only looking to have Chinese investors only. I am Asian, once they understood I was an American their attitudes changed. They were selling condos not even built yet and the whole thing looked as though it could fail. I wanna thank the rude salespeople for changing my mind.
Awesome video, editing is stellar dud. Good job! 👍
It's funny how the sultan allows all of this to happen as long as it brings him money.
he's got a lots of sports car to maintain. Need to think of service fee also....hahahaha
Bruh I'm not gonna support sultan johore anymore also I'm not a football fan at all
Maybe one of his steps to create his own country
It would be funny if the Sultan does not allow this because of money, the economy depends on money for progress.
How about make a slum there? This will definitely let the country bleed out money. If you have too much money you can always create more slum for the poor and make a socialism society
This city will EAT UP a lot of Water.

Hi! I'm from Malaysia. have been subscriber for a while. I did a fieldwork there on the seagrass ecosystem. yeah, it is impacted the wildlife there. used to have the endangered dugong there but the strait of johor and singapore is so developed, I don't think they can survive there.

Lol we're not rich as Dubai lmao
You would have suggested to air seed the islands and the bermuda grass will turn them green bringing smiles in the air when watching fr the plane.
Why are you every whereeeee

I feel upset to government which sold their country in the name of investment. Sadly this is also happening in my country Indonesia.

lol no , u think we have 100billion USD ? most of the investor guess where they came from ? yes , CHINA, just wait another 30 50 years, China will slowly claim most of SEA region. since most of these countries freaking love to be in debt with China

It looks cool, but I don’t know if I’d want to invest in a property on a man made island given that sea levels are projected to rise.
This is the perfect example for a quality channel.. highly underrated. I'm gonna spread the word..
Defo! I'm the same lol
I don’t get why they keep building islands. They’re not gonna be worth much in 100 years when the sea level rises
sad fact
then we should buy houses near the lake :v
They build the islands to conquer the Mainland !!!!! Thats how Communists conquer the world. They never stop only when the Day of judgement Come.
Because of short-sightedness
Well, the residents wouldn’t know as they wouldn’t be living in another 100 years anyway!
Its hard finding channels like these

there's also a controversial reclamation project in jakarta bay, that are quite simillar to the forest city. you should look that up
@Uddipan Mondal there are 2 projects, and one bluntly advertised to chinese, the other is bigger, but chinese investors there aren't being highlighted, and the main concern is that those are *land reclamations owned by private companies* and enviromental damage of them

@@Jay-jq6bl for them, it's easy, just tap water. Tap water pipes have reached the rich population near the island anyway.

The intro music is lit!
as a Malaysian. This hurts my eyes, the environment that they destroyed and how the housing in forest city is obviously targeting the Chinese China. The land itself is profitable towards China. I really do hope that our local Malaysian wouldn’t support this project until the chinese investors hear our voices.

then claim the sea as 'traditional fishing ground'

@Ali but they don't build artificial islands
You have the best intro I have ever seen!!!!
I love your intro!
On the East coast of Malaysia, there is a huge oil storage terminal project called Pengerang covering 80 square km which is joint venture with an European company owning 44%. The project had to move out several old settlements and cemeteries.
Another highly controversial project which is a key political issue is an Australian rare earth processing facilities, Lynas which produces radioactive waste near populated area.
No international medias harp on these controversial projects from Australia and Europe.
No. People don't like china
Well, about time Neo highlight this Eurostralia controversial project then…
Key character in this project is the Sultan of Johor. As owner of the state, he decides on which developer to be approved for projects like this. Johor people are mostly proud and loyal to their Sultan. He is also the next in line on the rotation to become Malaysia's Agong (King of Kings).
Every sultan own their own state in malaysia?
"Aduhai Pak Kaduk, ayam menang kampung tergadai." Mega project that began with debt is risking our sovereignity. Money can't buy that back. And we should be loyal to our creator alone, not to people who are entitled with position; only respect a leader.
Is it safe to say these Chinese money giving birth (or rebirth) of the most successful football club in the history of the world & universe, JDT?? Forest City is their shirt sponsor after all.
yea thats why most malaysian very poor, most money to support all those kings that at the end gonna sell its land to enemies to fatten up their pocket.
I’ve been to forest city once, and it’s a total ghost town. The only other people there were the employees and the odd visitor
Two videos back to back?!?!?!?!? You're spoiling us.
This is a good quality video where the producer tries to be fair and impartial regarding this controversial project. So unlike most others that merely criticise without considering all of the relevant angles. The narrator had also made the effort to properly pronounce the names of the people and places. Again, so unlike other lazy narrators. Despite the easy availability of various resources to refer to.
By the way, this channel's video on "Why Dubai's Man-Made Islands Are Still Empty" is also of quality.
Great video Thx for updating me on the world
New to this channel; I have to ask is the similarity of your opening credits to those in The Expanse TV series deliberate? It looks great
Sounds (and looks) a lot like the project that flopped in Modderfontein, South Africa about a decade ago.
Love the intro. Surprised that this is happening in Malaysia because here in the Philippines, China's presence is also becoming stronger. With the rise of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) with their online casinos filling up buildings and Chinese development of condominiums and buildings to house POGO workers, our sovereignty is also questioned. The government turns a blind eye on these Chinese developments.
So what is the problems.pinoy abroad more have developed mind rather than mentality like u. I once have pinoy friend, he definitely has an open minded not like typically like u.
@@cohendarwin5365 are you chinese troll?
@@danielkurniawan9311 maybe...
The government allows this to happen. I remember roque (presidential spokesperson) accidentally spilled that there are funds coming from those industries. Thus, allowing them to not pay their taxes. 🤭🤭🤭 it's all about human greed. They dont care about its' people and the long term effect.
@@cohendarwin5365 50 cent troll, spotted. 👎
Your storytelling is phenomenal. Visual presentation, on point. Very well done.
I remember when I was in china, forest city used to run Ads on cctv all the time. It advertised itself as NEXT TO singapore.
yoo the intro music kinda fire
Your intros are so good...
@@Rahman.Shahadat XD
forest city had never proved it help to build good ecosystem , u still depends on the real forests .
Soo you live under a tree canopy?
@@kentershackle1329 you do?

Nothing human made, is Ecofriendly. But i rather they build up an island from scratch, than bulldozing large tracks of land permanently disfiguring it.
@@sofea898
Be realistic, since the Houses is intentionally marketed for foreigners, u rather hv large tracks of mainland sold to them or built frm scratch?.
Ecofriendly is not just forest, if that so we all will be living under trees. Dug hole. 🤣.
All housing development destroys the original landscape n flora n fauna. What makes different is after.. those buildings are designed to use less energy to maintain n hopefully build too. As to lessen its carbon footprint impact.
Vox but from above
A good CZcamsr with good concept
Awesome👏👏
Hello ! Love your content, keep up the good work !
Hey! I've been following you for a long time. I love your content and your work inspired me to start my own channel
Nice work mate. Subbed
I mean, if the project was built on actual land it would’ve been amazing, literally what I and many people want to do in the future which is to offset air pollution, specially with an electric public transport , the problem is that governments know pollution is a huge issue and they don’t invest in it so private companies have to, it’s sad. But then again, if it was built on land, making a whole island is...a bit counter productive lol
@neo You should do Meikarta- Indonesia.. this forest city's ambition is nothing compared to Meikarta ambition
You're able to make very interesting even the most boring things. You're videos are great I can't get enough of them
I have been there once a while ago, There were estates, hotels as well as outdoor shopping malls being built. There were also beaches being built, but there weren’t any food courts but there is buffets there. The area there is under construction but you can still visit there for understanding more about the details and flats of Forest City. The project will be done in about another decade. Hence, if you would want to visit, you can book a hotel there, but there would not be any wonders on the land.
If I had to guess, Forest City is probably planned as living quarters for workers who will work at Singapore's Tuas deepwater port, which is the nearest thing.
visited it when construction was just starting like 7/8 yrs ago. i didn't know much about the economic impact, 12 yr old me was just sad that the beaches were gone
Hey man, really nice and interesting video! I have soms feedback for you: there is some static/background/noise on your voice audio track. This is a shame as the quality of the rest of your video is so high!
Im a simple man, I see Malaysia I click
The earth landscape (map ) looks sick. Less trees, wide deserts. Is it the updated google map?
