Stone lions, statues and archways: This impressive park in Johor is fit for a king

What do you do if you are a rich, successful tycoon in Malaysia? Build a public park of course -- complete with statues, stone lions and impressive archways.

"These pictures were taken near a Chinese cemetery on the outskirts of Kulai town in Johor.

"This public park was built by a Malaysian tycoon, Low Nam Hui who made his fortune as a timber trader, saw milling, plywood manufacturing, oil palm industry and hotel operations. He is also the adviser to the Johor Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry.


"As a philanthropist he built this public park for Johorians to visit on weekends and public holidays.  

"The size of this park is almost equal to the size of our Marina Barrage.  

"On weekdays the park is closed and you can see the red gates with the lions guarding the fortress."
