the layout style guideline;
(b)
reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
The article is riddled with grammar errors.
Grammatical articles (the and a) are continually left out. In addition, the tenses don't match up for nouns and verbs (ex. using is for multiple nouns in a list or plural nouns, or shifting from past to present sentence in a confusing way or on accident). Considering your past content, I am quite surprised. Is this a direct translation of some sort, or an article you nominated for GA too soon?
Fail
(b) (MoS)
Not much to say about MOS given it's short length. {{Use Commonwealth English}} should be at the top of the page instead of its American counterpart, as the article is about Malaysia and the former template is used for Malaysian English (along with the English used in several other countries).
Good use of reliable sources throughout. Pity there isn't much to source in the first place.
Pass
(c) (original research)
All statements are backed up by RSes. No issue here.
Pass
(d) (copyvio and plagiarism)
Earwig returned nothing. I don't see any evidence of copyvios myself.

Broad in its coverage:
Criteria
Notes
Result
(a) (major aspects)
Coverage of the main topic is quite short, mostly consisting of a short history. For example, the geography section should have a general overview on the environment and landscape in and around the town, but only mentions a catchment area and a mosquito species discovered there. Considering that the town was a formal hill station, I would expect more information to exist about its natural geography. This is definitely not broad enough for GA.
Fail
(b) (focused)
The (small amount of) content in the article is relevant information about the article's topic.
Pass
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
Notes
Result
The small size of the article means that I can't really find enough content to assess the neutrality of.
Neutral
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing
edit war or content dispute.

No edit warring or constant reverting here.

images,

(a) (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales)
All images used are under the proper CC licenses or are public domain.
Pass
(b) (appropriate use with suitable captions)
Given the short length of the article, the images are used as well as possible under the cicrumstances. I think the caption of the image in the page body could do with more details (what bungalow is it at? What is the view of?), but I think that's not much of a problem compared to the other aspects of the page.

Sorry, I'm going to have to quickfail this one. While the references are good and the image use is fine, the rest of the article is not up to standards. I think with more work to expand the article's coverage of the ghost town and some copyediting you could get a GA-class article in the future, but it is definitely nowhere near that right now.
Discussion
^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the
Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of
featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as
copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^Other media, such as video and
sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
