This is not the first time a crocodile has been spotted in Shah Alam.

In 2019, a baby saltwater crocodile, believed to have been released by irresponsible individuals, was seen wandering at the Shah Alam Lake in Section 14 on February 22, according to the Selangor Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan).
