The MBSA also advised people to be careful when doing their exercises and other recreational activities at the park.
According to FMT, this is not the first time there has been a sighting of a crocodile at a park in Shah Alam.
Less than five kilometres from the lake in Seksyen 7, a crocodile was spotted meandering at a lake in Seksyen 14 some five years ago.
Selangor Perhilitan found that the crocodile was released by a careless individual.
This was confirmed once it was found that the lake is not directly connected to any major rivers and it is very difficult for the animal to enter the lake on its own.
