Turning burden into asset
Abandoned buildings are a common sight in Malaysia, posing safety and health risks. These neglected structures, ranging from stalled developments to heritage sites, can become breeding grounds for diseases, attract dangerous animals, and facilitate illicit activities. Experts urge action to address this issue, particularly with Visit Malaysia Year 2026 approaching, as these eyesores detract from the country's image. The dilapidated buildings also present structural dangers and contribute to public unrest.
