Iskandar Puteri / Johor Bahru Area Guide
Iskandar Puteri and Johor Bahru sit at the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia, directly across the causeway/Second Link from Singapore — a major draw for Singapore-adjacent MM2H buyers and cross-border commuters, with large-scale townships, the Johor state administrative centre, and ongoing infrastructure projects including the RTS Link. This guide pulls together real, currently published figures from Malaysia’s own government data sources, each cited directly.

Flood conditions
The Department of Irrigation and Drainage's public InfoBanjir portal publishes live rainfall and river-level readings; it does not give a fixed flood-risk rating for a neighbourhood, so we do not give one here. Check the portal, especially in the monsoon season, and ask your lawyer and the local council about the flood history of the specific property. Last checked 26 Sep 2026.
Check current, real-time conditions: InfoBanjir (JPS/DID) — this is a live monitoring portal (current water levels and rainfall at official stations), not a fixed risk rating for this area.
