Johor Bahru, Border city in southern Peninsular Malaysia
Johor Bahru spans across 391 square kilometers at the southern tip of Malaysia, connected to Singapore through the Straits of Johor causeway.
The settlement transformed from a fishing village called Tanjung Puteri into a developed urban center after Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim established it in 1855.
The Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque combines Victorian and Moorish architectural elements, reflecting the fusion of European and Islamic influences in the region.
The city connects to Singapore via the Johor-Singapore Causeway, which accommodates both vehicular traffic and railway transportation between the two countries.
The temperature in Johor Bahru remains constant throughout the year, ranging from 26.4 degrees Celsius in January to 27.8 degrees in April.
