Question: Dark tourism in Malaysia
Answer: Pudu Jail is an example of a dark tourism product that has coexisted with a city's urban development. The authorities were not proud of Pudu Jail, which was located in the middle of the city, and it was seen poorly. Despite its position, critics argue that it should be preserved due to its historical and tourism significance. Because the structure was over a century old and in a strategic location, it had the potential to become a local and international tourist attraction. Pudu Jail is classified as a dark tourist site because it meets the criteria for a dark tourist attraction.
