Johor Bahru is the capital city of Johor state, located in the southern end of Malaysia. It was founded in 1855 as Tanjung Puteri and was later renamed Johor Bahru in 1862 when it became the capital of the Johor Sultanate. The city has the busiest international land border globally and is the direct land link to Singapore. The Johor-Singapore Causeway is the economic driver of the city. The modern development of the city to what it is today was done during the reign of Abu Bakar.
