The 67-year-old man also revealed that all the items he used to build the ‘city’ are from junkyard scraps as well as toys and other materials from the eco shop.

However, according to his wife, the city that was half completed was destroyed by a heavy flood back in 2021. Despite the setbacks, he was determined to rebuild the city again, making it into what it is today.

He shared that it would take about 4-5 months for him to complete a theme in the city. Source: Bernama
