JOHOR BARU: The capital city of Johor was initially called Tanjung Puteri under the administration of Temenggong Daing Ibrahim, back in 1855.

Succeeded by his son, Temenggong Abu Bakar who was later crowned the Sultan of Johor by Queen Victoria of England in 1886, Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor implemented a state constitution, developed a British-style administration and constructed the Istana Besar, the official residence of the Sultan.

 Known as the Father of Modern Johor, Sultan Abu Bakar developed and modernised the city with the construction of administrative buildings, schools, religious buildings, and railways connecting to Singapore.

Now home to the Southern Economic Growth Corridor, Johor is poised to become an economic development powerhouse with strategic planning by the state government.

 The same sentiment was echoed by the current Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Osman Sapian.

“We will provide good infrastructure and ensure political stability in the state to instil confidence in investors,” he said when asked about the state government’s policies in attracting more investors to the state.
