The clipped article about Johor Bahru probably give you a concept about the Malaysian fastest growing city and green living and scenic spot. However, due to the rapid industrial growth of this community and peoples neglecting this is original tourist spot. More Singaporeans are relocated to Johor for work and better living conditions and the green environment.
Declared a city only in 1994, Johor Bahru is a rapidly growing city. Latest census figures indicates that it is fast becoming Malaysia’s second largest city, with a population of over one million. Given its relatively large land space, the town is not as dense as other cities around Malaysia.

Due to its proximity to Singapore, it unavoidably suffers from comparison with its neighbour. Recent clean-up initiatives like greening the city and covering the open sewers that until a few years ago ran through the center of the city have made it a more pleasant place to live. Though appreciably less organised and more messy compared to the glitz of Singapore, shopping and eating in the city can be a real adventure, with many shopping complexes and a wide variety of food establishments offering budget to fine dining.
Johor Bahru is probably more well known as an industrial city rather than a tourist-friendly town. Many of the world’s top electronics manufacturers have at least one plant in Johor Bahru, and after the tough times after the 1997 economic crisis the town is stirring to life again
This shows you the geographic location of Joho Port which is not far from Singapore.
