Iskandar Puteri

Malaysia

Iskandar Puteri

Iskandar Puteri, formerly known as Nusajaya, is a city in the state of Johor, Malaysia. It is the administrative capital of the state, although the official capital is the neighbouring city of Johor Bahru.

Iskandar Puteri can be roughly divided in to three areas, which are:

  • North - This part of the city has mostly been fully developed into residential areas, namely Taman Universiti, Skudai, Bukit Indah, Taman Sutera etc. Some areas are the older part of the city.
  • Central - This part of the city is undergoing vast development with the construction of Kota Iskandar, Medini Iskandar and many residential areas around it. Gelang Patah is the old part of this city area.
  • South - With the exception of Forest City and Port of Tanjung Pelepas, most of the part of this city area are yet to be developed. Situated along Pulai River bank, many are still covered in green and forest.

North - This part of the city has mostly been fully developed into residential areas, namely Taman Universiti, Skudai, Bukit Indah, Taman Sutera etc. Some areas are the older part of the city.

Central - This part of the city is undergoing vast development with the construction of Kota Iskandar, Medini Iskandar and many residential areas around it. Gelang Patah is the old part of this city area.

South - With the exception of Forest City and Port of Tanjung Pelepas, most of the part of this city area are yet to be developed. Situated along Pulai River bank, many are still covered in green and forest.

Iskandar Puteri City Council Iskandar Puteri is the administrative center for the state of Johor, which houses the office of the Chief Minister and the legislative council. It is a planned city envisioned by the 24th Sultan of Johor, Sultan Iskandar, and continued by his son, current Sultan Ibrahim Ismail. The city is administered under the Iskandar Puteri City Council. The central and southern part of the city is undergoing huge development where construction is happening around the places, with many administrative buildings, condominiums, shopping malls and leisure areas still being built. The developments planned for the city are rather impressive. Administratively, Iskandar Puteri is part of Johor Bahru District, the others are Johor Bahru City and Pasir Gudang Town, which are on the eastern side of Iskandar Puteri.

The Port of Tanjung Pelepas was completed in 2000 as one of the pet projects of then prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. Positioning itself as a much cheaper alternative to the long-dominant port of Singapore, it was hugely successful in its early years, attracting the world's two largest shipping lines, Maersk and Evergreen, to move their operations from Singapore. Today, it remains the second busiest port in Malaysia (after Port Klang), and serves as a complement to the port in Pasir Gudang in serving the Johor Bahru metropolitan area. Plans have been mooted to demolish the Causeway to allow ships to sail directly from Tanjung Pelepas to Pasir Gudang, though little to no progress has been made in actually bringing the plan to fruition.

Iskandar Puteri was established as a town with the name Nusajaya. In January 2016, it was renamed "Iskandar Puteri" by Sultan of Johor. In November 2017, it was upgraded to a city.

Malay language is the official language of Johor, in which every citizen has fluency over it although with varying degrees. However, English is widely used as the second language by basically everyone in day-to-day trading and business activities, except in the very rural village areas. Most of the public places areas are written bilingually in Malay and English, with other places with additional Chinese or Tamil languages. In recent years, the city oversees the influx of expatriates and foreign workers from South and Southeast Asia, adding the mix of the languages used in the city and also adding the importance of English language as the lingua franca.

Iskandar Puteri has a humid and hot equatorial climate and experiences two seasons: summer and rainy season.

Most of the suburbs and neighborhood has a shopping mall or supermarket. These places tend to be really crowded during the weekends because of tourists inrush. Nevertheless, some of the shopping centers tend to be less patronized by visitors due to their outdated presence and appearance, and also because of the growing competition with other retail business.
