From downtown Johor Bahru, it is possible to access Woodlands Newtown in Singapore*** and the State via the Johor Bahru Long Beach. Johor Bahru is one of the 10 districts belonging to the state of Johor Bahru. Due to the difference in economic development between Singapore and Malaysia, the consumption level in Malaysia is lower than that in Singapore, many Singaporeans use their holidays to go to Johor Bahru for shopping. The Johor Bahru Long Beach (also known as the Johor Land Bridge) connects Johor Bahru to Singapore. Economy Johor Bahru's main high-volume industrial areas are located in Pasir Gudang and Tanjung Langsat, while the small and medium-volume industrial areas are in Tampoi. Johor Bahru has three major seaports: Pasir Gudang Port, Tanjung Pelepas Port and Johor Port.

Johor Bahru Johor Bahru is one of the three major cities on the Malay Peninsula (Kuala Lumpur and Penang) and is an important industrial and commercial city. Its large enterprises include electronics, resource and petrochemical refineries and shipbuilding industries. Johor Bahru is generally regarded as Singapore's hinterland to the Malaysian market, and their roles are considered similar to those of Shenzhen and Hong Kong in China. The presence of sole proprietors and tourists from Singapore*** and the country is notable. Many of the shopping malls in Johor Bahru cater to tourists visiting this city for shopping and entertainment from Singapore, taking advantage of the stronger Singapore dollar. Thus, the retail market of Johor Bahru is highly developed for a city of its size. The major shopping areas are located within the city, with some large shopping centers located in the suburbs. Johor Bahru City Administration The Johor Bahru metropolitan area mainly covers several local city councils. Johor Bahru is mainly governed by 3 local *** departments, namely the Johor Bahru City Council, Johor Bahru Central City Council and Pasir Gudang Local ***. Johor Bahru Clock Tower Plaza Johor Bahru City - Johor Bahru Municipal Council (Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (MBJB) - mainly manages the Johor Bahru city area. -Johor Bahru Central Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Johor Bahru Tengah (MBJBT) - mainly administers the area outside of the Johor Bahru city center - Pasir Gudang Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Pasir Gudang (MPPG)) Pontian - Pontian District Council (Majlis Daerah Pontian) Kota Tinggi Municipal Council (Majlis Daerah Pontian) Pontian District Council (Majlis Daerah) Pontian) Kota Tinggi - Kota Tinggi District Council (Majlis Daerah Kota Tinggi) - In the Ninth Malaysian Plan announced in May 2006, this area has been identified as a national priority area for development, with the central government *** investing more than RM12 billion from 2006 to 2010 in the priority areas of the region. History In 1855, Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim moved his *** administrative center in Telok Blangah, Singapore from to Tanjung Puteri, which was popularly known as Tanjung Puteri, and at that time was only a fishing village for the ethnic Malays. Malay fishing village. In 1858, Tanjung Puteri was officially named by Tiamang Dawin Ibrahim. Later, Sultan Abu Bakar, the prince of Tengku Dain Ibrahim, ascended to the throne as Sultan and on January 1, 1866, he renamed it Johor Bahru (Malay transliteration: Johor Bahru). The Ancient Temple of Johor Johor Bahru developed rapidly as a city under the administration of Sultan Abu Bakar. Many large buildings were constructed under the leadership of Sultan Abu Bakar, such as the National Cathedral, the Grand Palace and the State Minister's Residence. Many of these buildings were built by a wealthy Chinese businessman, Wong Ah Fook, who later became the Sultan's right hand man. At this time, Johor Bahru was also flooded with a large number of Chinese who came down from China. The early Harbour Master system was enacted in 1844 by Lord Ibrahim of Tien Mang to encourage the Chinese from Sin Chew to move north to Johor to cultivate the land. The harbor master system also attracted many Chinese from China to Johor Bahru to cultivate black tea and black pepper. After settling in Johor Bahru, the Chinese from the south gradually developed Johor Bahru from a small fishing village into a trading town. In the 1870s, Johor **** developed 29 harbors, which doubled 10 years later to reach 138 harbors at its peak ****. Thousands of Chinese sages flocked to the ports, sweating their way to make Johor the most prosperous state in Malaysia. At that time, the Chinese in Johor Bahru consisted of five different ethnic groups: Teochew (Chiu Chow), Cantonese (Canton), Minnan (Min), Hakka (Hakka) and Hainanese (Qiong). At that time, Johor Bahru City was divided into two sides by the Sungei Segget River, with one side inhabited by Cantonese and the other by Teochew, while Chinese of other origins were scattered in the middle. The Cantonese are mostly engaged in the construction industry, with Huang Yafu being one of the most prominent. The Teochews were mostly in the grocery and rice business, and the Hainanese were mostly in coffee shops. Huang Yafu was also a harbor master at the time. He utilized the Sanyu River, which has now become a stinky river, for trade. He turned the quiet and nameless Sin San (formerly known as Lao San) into a busy foreign port. Wong Ah Fook was also a building contractor who was close to the then Sultan Abu Bakar and married his sister to the Sultan. Sultan Abubakar also entrusted the construction of the Grand Palace to Huang Yafu. He imported the best craftsmen from China to build the Grand Palace, which is a rare historical building in the region, combining the halal and Chinese palace styles. The Grand Palace has been converted into a museum (formerly the Royal Palace) and is open to the public. There are many Chinese poems engraved on the walls of the Grand Palace and the architectural features are full of Chinese colors. The Chinese were instrumental in the early pioneering of the country, which can be seen in many of the existing buildings and ancient temples. Among them, the Johor Temple witnessed the history of Johor Bahru. In the 1990s, the state *** forcibly requisitioned the temple land on the grounds of development, the Johor Bahru Chinese community defended the Johor Temple with their bodies, but they could not resist the state ***'s decree, and the temple wall, which had witnessed Johor Bahru's century-long history, was knocked down by the relentless development. We are glad to have saved the temple body of the Johor Ancient Temple. But its significance to the local Chinese community is undiminished. In order to save the temple grounds, the local Chinese community had made a lot of efforts, and because of this incident, the Johor Bahru Chinese community has been working harder to maintain the Johor Bahru temple, so as not to let the temple be ruthlessly destroyed by the state *** again. Under the rule of Sultan Abu Bakar, Johor Bahru witnessed many important developments: the completion of the extension of the Malayan Railway in 1909, the completion of the Johor Bahru Causeway in 1923, and the linking of the railroads and roads between the Malayan Peninsula and Singapore. There was little development in Johor Bahru during World War II. In 1940, the Sultan of Johor Ibrahim Building, which was built by the British colonial administration to simplify the administration of Johor, was completed and on January 31, 1942, the Japanese army invaded Johor Bahru and occupied the Sultan of Johor's palace in Bukit Serene as a base for the preparation of the attack on Singapore. While World War II ended in 1946, Johor Bahru became the center of the Malay community's awakening. In May 1946, UMNO was formally established by Dato' Ong Chah Hwa, a politician of the Malayan generation and former Minister of State for Johor. The area of Johor Bahru was gradually expanded after 1960, with a number of new villages and industrial estates being established from 1970 to 1980 in the northern part of Johor Bahru, such as Tiburu and Jalan Tun East, and in the early 1990s, Johor Bahru was greatly enlarged, and on January 1, 1994, it was officially declared a city. As a result, the Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB) was established to effectively manage and develop the city. The Johor Bahru Central Business District (CBD), which is mainly located in the vicinity of Wong Ah Fook Road and Johor Bahru Long Beach, was formally emphasized in the mid-1990s. The Central Government of Malaysia *** and the State of Johor *** have provided a lot of capital to develop this area, especially after 2006, when the Iskandar Project, a large-scale development program in South Malaysia, was officially launched. View of the Iskandar Special Economic Zone Demographics The population of the Johor Bahru metropolitan area was estimated to be 1,800,000 in 2009, with the population consisting of 44% Malays (the Malay population has been slowing down from 2001-2007, which has a lot to do with the price level), 41.5% Chinese (the Chinese population was slowing down from 2001-2007, which has to do with the price level), and 4.5% Chinese (the Chinese population was slowing down from 2001-2007, which has a lot to do with the price level). Chinese (the Chinese population increased in 2001-2007, but this figure could not be ascertained. The increase in population is related to Johor Bahru's rapid economic development), 9.1% of Indians (the decrease in Indian population in 2001-2007 is related to the level of education and lack of competitiveness or other factors), and 5.4% of minorities (the rest of the population had a significant increase in population from 2001 to the present, which is related to Johor Bahru's rapid economic development, and also due to an increase in the number of immigrants) and a significant portion of the population are Chinese. This phenomenon is related to the rapid economic development of Johor Bahru, and is also attributed to the increase in the number of foreign immigrants. Culture and Education Johor Bahru has the largest independent secondary school and the largest national primary school in Malaysia. There are only a few Chinese primary schools in Johor Bahru because of the high population density. In order to enable their children to receive a basic Chinese education, parents try to send their children to Chinese primary schools by all means.
