About Iskandar Puteri

Iskandar Puteri (formerly known as Nusajaya) is a city in the southernmost part of Malaysia.  Its strategic location within the Iskandar region and proximity to the neighbouring city of Singapore is one of the main driving forces of its potential, where it is poised to become one of the best international connecting hubs in Southeast Asia.    

 

Iskandar Puteri has a developed city infrastructure and transportation network, attracting a wide spectrum of key industries
and businesses, including Government, tourism, education, healthcare, residential and commercial sectors.  Lifestyle and wellness enrichments have also been integrated into the city developments.

 

Well-connected by two international airports and 5 seaports, the area accessibility is greatly enhanced with opening of the Second Link Expressway (20 minutes to Singapore southward) and the
New Coastal Highway (15 minutes to JB city centre)

MAKAN MAKAN (which translates to EAT!  EAT!  in Malay)

With its vibrant food scene, ranging from the trendiest cafes, freshest seafood, to the most traditional breakfast, all in Johor Bahru.  Hiap Joo bakery pulls a dozen kinds of stuffed buns hot from a wood-burning oven, while the facing Kedai Kopi Kin Wah draws morning crowds for its authentic breakfast, which includes kaya toast (bread with a coconut and egg spread). The menu at the modest Myra Bistro, lists some hard-to-find Johorean specialities.  More time to spare, head to the west coast, in the village of Kukup, where shrimps are served straight from the sea.

BEYOND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

ARULMIGU SRI RAJAKALIAMMAN GLASS TEMPLE 
 An iconic Hindu temple that stands out among the rest in its glistening beauty – both figuratively and literally.  The first-ever glass temple in the world has gone from being just a place of worship to a must-visit attraction in the state.  

JOHOR ANCIENT TEMPLE
Established in the 1800s, this temple is one of the oldest structures in the city and became the symbol of unity among five Chinese ethnic groups of Teochew,  Hoklo (Hokkien), Cantonese, Hakka and Hainanese.  Believed to be the first Chinese temple in Malaysia to be named after a state, the temple’s courtyard being surrounded by high walls exudes calm far removed from the downtown traffic of Johor Bahru.  

RUD KARTING (Racing Underdog)
RUD Karting, or Racing Underdog is known for their professional 840m go-karting track with 16 turns. Especially great for those who often find themselves entering Johor Bahru late in the night, as it operates daily till the wee hours of the morning.
