The 27-year-old, along with his partners, sneaked into an area called the 'Red Zone' – sometime in June - in the dead of the night to avoid police check posts.

Wearing no protective clothing other than a gas mask, Wee Loong visited four abandoned towns - Tomioka, Okuma, Namie and Futaba – where everything is in a time wrap.

Panicked residents left in a hurry to escape from the radiation leaking from the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant devastated by a massive earthquake followed by a huge tsunami.

Empty malls full of merchandise from 2011, personal valuables like gold, clean washing half removed from dryers, still working traffic lights on deserted streets – the pictures tell the tale.

Recalling the experience, Loong said, "The radiation level is still very high in the Red Zone. Not many people seen this town for the last 5 years...is like it vanished ... I can find food, money, gold, laptop and other valuable in the Red Zone.(sic)."

"I'm amaze(d) that nobody looted this town clean. unlike Chernobyl the entire town is been looted clean. This is the difference between Chernobyl disaster and the Fukushima disaster(sic)."

"Everything is exactly where it is after the earthquake struck this town . The resident(s) started to evacuate the town when Tsunami warning came in ....hours later the Fukushima Daiichi power plant exploded that lead to harmful radiation leaked."

"Well, this is the devastating effects of using nuclear energy. Resident lives in Fukushima will never be the same again... the radiation leak at red zone by the Fukushima Daiichi power plant is damaging the environment and marine life (sic)."
