Jalan Dato Abdullah Tahir, 100m or so to the north of this cache, is lined with generally well-designed residential highrises with shops and services activating the ground level and by JB standards a generally functional walkway. Mixed in with the highrises are some more traditional outdoor-style restaurants along with vacant lots awaiting development.
The sprawling Depot Polis compound immediately to the east of the cache is being surrounded by a ring of huge highrises, mostly along Jl. Dato Abdullah Tahir but also a few hundred metres to the south at Bukit Senyun. 400m to the north is the vibrant area around Jalan Maju, with great restaurants and lots of other businesses.
The fact that the cache is less than 1.4km in a straight line from the immigration complex does not mean it's easily walkable. Unfortunately the vibrant inner Tebrau area is quite hard to reach on foot from the CBD (and don't even think about cycling), but this will hopefully improve when the RTS rail system connection to Singapore is implemented in a few years. Until then, a short taxi or bus trip is the easiest way to reach this area.
