[redstone]

If i'm not mistaken this belongs to the Johor Royal family and the land still belongs to Malaysian govt? Got some relatives who used to stay there(old kampongs) and have since shifted out..told me its haunted..maybe some of us can get a shot of 'surprise' model ;p ? Good luck..tell me if visitors are allowed in,pls,tanx

Got kampongs in Woodneuk last time? :bigeyes:

The land had been acquired by SLA.

Meanwhile..... Anyone free on public holidays? Esp the next one.

Yet to drop by to take a look.

The next public holiday would be on NDP.

I'm cool with a shoot there in the morning thru early afternoon. But gotta go NDP, so if u guys really wanna organise a shoot there, I'm ok with it.

Maybe put it as a themed shoot, "Beyond the 2nd Istana". How about that?

What a pity. This former grand old mansion must have a lot of stories to tell. It's sad to see it in it's current state.

 

[redstone]

The destruction of a priceless heritage and historical treasure.:cry:
