About location

Among the places of Johor, Iskandar Puteri stands out for its role as a planned administrative centre in the wider Johor Bahru urban area. It lies on the Malaysian side of the Straits of Johor, the narrow waterway separating the peninsula from Singapore. Kota Iskandar is the seat of the Johor state administration, giving the city a civic focus distinct from Johor Bahru’s older commercial core. Formerly called Nusajaya, Iskandar Puteri developed as part of the Iskandar Malaysia growth region, with government precincts, housing, education and leisure districts shaping its modern identity. The city council administers this expanding western part of metropolitan Johor Bahru.
