OUT OF BOUNDS: The area where the tourist attraction is located is unsafe for any activities due to its unstable earth structure

KAJANG: TOURISM brochures and road signages pointing to the direction of what used to be a tourist attraction that offered the best view of Kuala Lumpur's skyline -- Look Out Point -- will soon be removed as it has been announced that the place will be  closed to visitors.

The permanent closure was announced by the Selangor state government following a slope study that was done by Malaysian Public Works Institute (Ikram).

Studies have concluded that the entire area where the Look Out Point is located is unsafe due to its unstable earth structure.

the area was deserted and some areas covered in thick undergrowth.

The entrance gate to the Look Out Point was locked and barriers placed to prevent people from going into the area.

There were also mounds of sand placed at the fringes of the area to prevent people from driving into its parking area.

A row of shops, which used to house restaurants such as Ikan Bakar Patin Pahang and Samudra D' Menara Tinjau, had their shutters down and looked abandoned.
