sure...but the rendering dosen't show many high-rises;)

miss jb very much....;)

baq.. I think Bandar Baru Uda in Tampoi is now the 2nd skyline for JB.

Maybe what u mean by Pantai Lido is The Danga Bay project.
How about Bandar Nusajaya, the new city near 2nd link?
Do u have any latest news and picture of it?

the highrises look quite cool. also quite many of them. i think it has more high rises than Harbour place

JB's city center... the buildings are all centralised... that what makes it look marvellous...

Penang's more spread out.... and concentrate on sea site... like Singapore...

penang:D u can c that "hole" from my school. very ugly one er!!:D but the "building wall" looks quite OK from the angle

what about the waterfront city?.. is it completed yet?.. and the universal studio?

waterfront city is completed years back but closed down. cos nobody goes there.

Waterfront projects is actually not finish yet....what we got now is only the 1st phase only.

I heard that the projects was abandoned....I think it is not viable.
Actually most of the JB people are not on favour of this project.

Personally i also don't like it....it will ruin the view of the straits and will create trafiic chaos for that area.

The Danga Bay is much better. :okay:

OK now i noticed taht there r two forumers r from JB----Vinzlim and JomDU;) we all now wating for yr JB pics ya hehehehe;) :D

Sorry Pablo....I live in Perth right now..so no latest pic...maybe vinzlim can help :)

vinzlim is poor like hell don't own a camera. and busy also wait few more weeks, when time is not so tight.

The buildings shown in the pictures are the only building which are presentable ... the rest really cannot make it ...

personally i think there are a lot of city environment improvement to be catered for. look at our singapore-to-JB customs for example. it is the first impression presented to those foreign tourists from euro/us/western/etc countries. the place is small and is very crowded during peak period. air circulation is extremely poor and unhygenic. not to mention the loose security check that somehow contribute to the insecure situation in JB. however afterall the MOST du lan thing is the attitude of the officer. they r so busy chatting and daydreaming that they dun even take a single look at u ... wtf. if a guy trafic drug from singapore-to-JB, it'd be a 100% success rate.

its contradicting for malaysia government who, at one side, invest huge sum of cash doing publication in foreign country (look at the on going tv/radio advertisement in singapore), but at another side, does not want to improve the basic and important public and international entrance ...

Ah.... dun argue ah u guys....

World Peace

Hope the situation will change when Gerbang Perdana complete...Sure it will change a lot:)

wat's gerbang perdana??

Gerbang Perdana is the name given for new custom & immigration complex. It is really very big project...and it include the new new bridge replacing causeway and new JB train station.

It will give a better image for JB as a southern gateway and hopefully solving the the traffic problem in the city.

I think Mr Szehoong had post rendering of GB in other thread...or u can go to

At last, Air Asia will inaugrate flying to JB on 22nd Oct. It will be twice daily at the beginning.

Air Asia plan to make JB as their 2nd hub after KLIA. Probably there will more flights from JB to other destinations.

Ya..I heard rumours that there is going to be a 3rd hub in Thailand somewhere ........and the rumours weren't too clear as to whether it'll be and Air Asia hub or whether it was going to be some sorta Air Asia/Thai-new-low-cost-airline buddy thing....

so *that* is what Senai airport looks like...thanks Nazrey....very unusual design, esp the glass right smack in the middle of the building. Is that a new thing or has that been there since it was built? The overall design with arches etc suggests early 90's.
Does anyone have any pics on the interior??

Read the news that Senai will be sold to Syed Mokhtar Albukhary. He already setup Senai Airport Terminal Services ( SATS ).

He also control the new Port of Tanjung Pelepas. HE hope to create a cargo transhipment hub for this area ( Senai to PTP ) to compete with Singapore.

yes.....you're right about Senai being sold to Syed Mokhtar....this man is a genius. People thought he's crazy when he built PTP. And then he bought into IJM, MMC and PERNAS. He's now the transportation king of Malaysia with MMC Metrail, Senai and PTP. Not forgetting his infrastructure projects like SMART. Hope he doesn't end up like Tan Sri Halim Saad (Renong) which dissapears from the radar eons ago.....hehe

actually i think JB quite similar to KL lah. maybe coz of the buildings' design (glass and concrete) and the way they are lit up.

Batu Pahat also orderly..see?

why is KL's road not organised actually?? george town is older than KL but more organised if compared

not organised look more natural and alive.. i prefer not organised road as it is more fantastic to drive and not easy get boring!!~ heheh

Wow.. Never realized Batu Pahat is also something like Melbourne... Well-planned with nice grid streets...

Subang Jaya is also another planned city... The whole place is squarish, especially the old SJ... All straight roads, whether the main ones or those in the residential areas...

But yeah, agree with you kevin... A city with more, well, disorderly :) streets is more interesting... You'll never know what to expect after a certain corner eh?

That's the whole problem......you get 'interesting' corners and surprises but if you are actually driving and going somewhere you'll be cursing like mad! :D

It is only fun, adventurous and not too boring if you are driving for leisure but it ain't funny when you're lost! :colgate:

Actually not only SJ, Sunway and USJ are planned areas but also PJ. When I said planned .....it need not have to be grid - take a look at Putrajaya and some cities like Singapore. ;)

If ya notice ....most smaller town like you've mentioned - Batu Pahat are planned during the British times.......another good example would be Taiping. KL are not....see my next reply on why..... V :D

Originally posted by TYW

Well....not neccessary that newer must be better...... ;)

I tot I explain this before........you din read again my friend :bash: ......it was sometime ago ....I think a month or two ago, I explained somewhere in the forum about the reasons why KL isn't organised! :D

You see.......cities like George Town, Malacca and Singapore are port cities with great importance to the British. Smaller towns like Taiping are Tin Ore Meccas thus important to the British as well so they kept the towns and cities organised.

The problem with KL is that it grew out all of the sudden from practically nothing. At that time, there are civil wars ( remember Raja Mahidi, Sultan Ismail.....blah blah....my history getting bad liao :D )....and KL wasn't too important of a tin mining town compared with the rest of the towns like Ipoh or even Ampang! ;)

When the Chinese (in particular - the Cantonese) arrived from Port Swettenham (Port Klang).....tin mining was booming and when the British realised that this little village became one of Malaya's largest town overnight, they can't organised the town anymore as the confusion had started much earlier. :D

The only grid that we could actually see till today in KL is the Petaling St (Chinatown) area. That is because when the shophouses there are built, there are proper planning already.

Most of KL roads followed the path of the old dirt roads - for instance - Jalan Pudu, Jalan Cheras, Jalan Ampang etc.....

It doesn't help that even after independence, the Selangor State govt isn''t doing anything concrete about city planning (KL was then Selangor's capital). Only after DBKL are established in 1971, city planning took off but then it was a bit too late - so we ended up like what we see today.

In fact, despite the nearly impossible task to plan a rojak city, DBKL made great stride in implementing changes to the road system to make it more systematic. Not many people agree to this, but that is the only way out......to have more one way streets and funny diversions (like at Jalan Sultan Ismail).

If you are not local and driving in KL I just got one thing to say to ya - GOOD LUCK! :D

The road layout at Canberra and Putrajaya aren't grid as they are not straight and angular :D

These cities are planned from ground-up, therefore had much more space to spare so can make the 'funny shapes'...actually they are not funny shapes.......more rounded that's all..... ;)

The roads are spaced out so that there would be green pockets and wouldn't create a congested image.... :D

Hehehe, in those pics, JB and northern SG look like one city ;-) In fact, it looks like a kind of second downtown not so far away when looked at from S'pore hi-rises... it just needs one more landmark >50 level tower to top it all off...

Couldn't agree with you more, nova... Also reminds me of some Chinese city... :)

Btw, i found out in an article a few years back that there was a plan to construct a 50-storey World Trade Center tower in JB... I presume the project was scrapped due to '97?

i heard about that too but i dunnno much about it

For sure, it has been cancelled. But I saw the construction for "JB Sentral"! It's huge and is at the city center. A new tall hotel will be built there soon too.

nice pic men... JB rocks yo~ :guns1: GO JB!!!

That JB Central project must be the one opposite City Square right? Sitting on what used to be those ugly apartments...?

Wow, tall hotel... Wonder how high it will be? More than 40-storeys?

any pics of city square?? always hear about it but never seen it B4

This is JB city square..40 storeyS!!! Probably JB's tallest!

http://www.members.lycos.co.uk/fys3sx/dangabay.JPG


Danga bay probably will be the second JB skyline
Its include a water theme park..is sea water...theme park....

but the water pollution is so high there


notice that the green land on the sea....actually there still is a sea:D its need coastal reclamation.

beside that the proposed monorail probably pass through this city and connect JB current city center(about 8 km away).... last time i visit DANGA BAY ..and found a whole project MODEL....its include a small small little monorail

Good! :okay: Exciting times for JB ahead! :)

Would love to visit Danga Bay sometime...... ;)

yea.....I do have to agree that JB doesn't looked that nice from Malaysia - even in JB itself but it looked fantastic from Singapore. For Malaysians whom are in Singapore......one of the nicer view of JB could be seen from the MRT from in between Chua Chu Kang till Kranji stations ;)

The first time seeing it from Singapore, I was quite impressed! :eek:

Walau!From Singapore JB looks like mini Singapore City liao:P

JB is great!! i think it looks quite nice from Malaysia and JB's streets too.

BTW, i hate that fujufilm thingy

That FujiFilm sign spoils an otherwise beautiful cityscape...

WOoo, Jb Change so much.

JCorp allocates RM8.25mil to upgrade Larkin terminal

JOHOR Corp (JCorp) is allocating a further RM8.25mil to upgrade the Larkin Sentral Terminal, formerly known as Larkin Market and Bus Terminal, group chief executive officer Tan Sri Muhammad Ali Hashim said.

JCorp has already spent RM3mil on phase one of the upgrade, which included installing six escalators, improving power supply, building new toilets, internal painting and adding 10,000 sq ft of retail floor area.

Much improvement has taken place since we took over the complex in September 2002, Ali told reporters during a tour of the terminal yesterday.

JCorp took over the terminal from Lion Group Bhd subsidiary Dagang Tani Sdn Bhd. In exchange, Lion took over JCorp's Antara Steel Sdn Bhd.

The terminal, opened in 1996 as a privatisation project between the Johor government, Johor Baru City Council and Lion Group, is now managed by JCorp's Harta Consult Sdn Bhd.

Ali said an international fast food joint recently opened an outlet at the terminal, and this had also attracted non-bus passengers.

Ali said users gave the thumbs up to the place, which was now better ventilated, brighter and more organised in term of bus movements.

He said work on phase two upgrading of the wet and dry market areas, construction of a mosque on level two and adding another 20,000 sq ft retail floor area ? would begin this month, and was expected to be completed by end-2006.

The terminal is strategically located in Johor Baru and has good growth potential, but is under-utilised in terms of space,? he added.

Ali said as a meeting point for express and stage buses and long distance taxis plying the peninsula and Singapore, the 24-hour terminal receives about 22,000 users daily.

Thats' cool. Though I don't mind at all about it's current condition. Whenever I arrive there, I will straight away hop in the bus and have no idea how the station interior looks like :D

for my mind larkin == pasar...
dirty and messy.

:mad: :mad2: :naughty: :bleep: :hi: ....agreed. Hope Jcorp will change the image. :)

Looks coooooooool!

i know jb is so huge
but jb hv other skyline tat jb downtown?
hope other jb forumer take other skyline of jb for us!

Developer to purchase Best World
By RAVI NAMBIAR


THE Johor Government’s rescue plan for abandoned shopping malls has taken off, with a developer buying its Best World complex in Johor Baru.

The RM240 million nine-storey up-market complex opened in mid-1996, but was closed two years later.

Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Bhd, the national asset management company, has been trying to find a buyer for the property since 2002.

Property consultant KGV-Lambert Smith Hampton, one of the authorised agents for Danaharta, confirmed the sale.

“Yes, the Best World complex has a new owner. But I am in no position to disclose any details,” its director Samuel Tan Wee Cheng told Business Times.

It is learnt, however, that the unidentified buyer is a developer with a major project in Johor Baru.

The deal done apparently was near to the indicative tender price of RM58 million.

Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman had said recently that an interested party was negotiating with Danaharta to take over and convert the Best World complex into a family-oriented leisure and shopping mall.

He had said the State Government would facilitate talks with local authorities, banks and Danaharta to implement the plan to rehabilitate the building.

Johor Baru has one of the highest rates of shopping complex failures in the country, with about a dozen projects shelved or abandoned since the mid-1990s. The projects reportedly involved more than RM1.2 billion in total capital outlay.

“We are seriously working on a plan to salvage these abandoned commercial buildings in prime locations in Johor Baru. We should be able to announce the details within the next two months,” Abdul Ghani had said in June.

Industry sources said the new owner of the Best World complex will inject another RM25 million to RM30 million over the next one year to revitalise and reposition the property.

The building sits on 3.3ha of prime land just 1km from the city centre.

Best World, originally developed by businessman Datuk Kenneth Eswaran, was one of the most sought-after commercial properties in Johor Baru when it entered the market, fetching over RM3000 per sq ft.

More than 40 per cent of the 500 units in the complex, with a total built-up space of about 500,000 sq ft, were snapped up. Of the 205 purchasers, more than half were investors from Singapore.

The new owner, it is learnt, will offer three options to the purchasers: outright sale of the units, lease or joint development of the property with the new management.

Discussions with the purchasers will start on Saturday.

The new owner plans to complete the upgrading works and reopen the complex by June next year.

What do you guys think is the best mall in JB?
To me it's city square lor. Angsana is cool too

Jalan Wong Ah Fook, JB
http://img66.exs.cx/img66/3645/730564.jpg

Still in JB....don't know what street is this.
http://img66.exs.cx/img66/6702/891778.jpg

Plaza Seni...initially built as multistorey car park. You can see that the famous 'Sg Segget' is being covered. Hope this will make JB more beautiful..

http://img52.exs.cx/img52/5705/1456903.jpg

Aiyo..I really think they should upgrade Jalan Wong Ah fook..i'm not talking about the pedestrian walkways..but the conditions and the type of shops. Did you guys see about this street in Edisi 7? Terrible
Thanks for the pics! You took ar? ;)

OH, that is truly indeed. Look at the pictures above, its so ugly, and especially along ah fook street, you can see tall building with ugly and dirty short little shop houses (money changer especially). These shop houses should be demolished completely, the whole road should be constructed with high rise. Not mixture of buildings and shops like rojak. Hehehe, just an opinion. :)

Hi guys, according to the town planning i had just found out that in the next five to six year, more than 15 commercial buildings including hotels, shopping complexes, administrations hall will be constructed in Jb area. I will get more informations and try post it up here. Since no one will dig more information about JB other than xeoc, i think leh, i will try to dig out some information to post them here lah.

What do you guys think is the best mall in JB?
To me it's city square lor. Angsana is cool too

Holiday plaza lah if its for me loh. :) This is the oldest shopping after the merlin tower. Can say the whole shopping is dominated by chinese youngsters and a few indian shops. Very well known woh.

One of the World's Largest Integrated Commercial Development

http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/4188/a-6.htm

One of the world's largest integrated commercial development, the RM4 billion Southern City, is currently being developed along Jalan Tebrau (Tebrau Highway), an arterial highway of Johor Bahru.

It will, among all, incorporate a shopping mall with whooping 2,000 shops, 10 apartment blocks providing some 1,000 apartment units, 4 office towers, 2 blocks of hotel, one block of medical centre, 12,500 car-parking bays and South East Asia's largest indoor theme park.
http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/4188/a-image12.jpg




Dubbed the City of Tomorrow, this development is divided into six developmental parcels which will eventually take up to ten years to complete.

Four million visitors per year are expected upon the completion of the entire project.


I remember this project start on 1997 and stop on 1997 too....from the news paper advertisement the skyscraper really look like the pic I post above all very sharp like china bank in hong kong.

World's Largest Single City Development On the Sea

Johor Bahru Waterfront City, the world's largest single city development on the sea, has commenced construction on the Straits of Johor, beside the existing City Centre in the year 1996.

This mammoth development, measuring 3 kilometres in length and 1.6 kilometres in breath will create an extra 117.7 acres of land for development in the City Centre.
http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/4188/a-image10.jpg




It will have 21 commercial developments, 3 hotels, a convention and exhibition centre, a cultural centre, a new waterfront promenade and numorous condominium complexes which will provide a total of 1,560 units in the development. Until now, five commercial complexes have started construction. The first complex to open it's doors will be Lot 1, a shopping complex slated to be opened next year.

The whole development will sit on top of a platform supported by piles piled into the sea. This development avoided the need of land reclaimation which would create negative environmental effects.

Part of the road system of this RM6 billion project is operational at the moment.

Now this project forever halted..............
COnclusion economic crisis seriouly injure JB.....

Yes, i know about these. There is a very large pool just located next to X'tra. Also, i saw some people fishing over there, haha. There is another
large pool/lake located near to larkin bus station. All developments were abandoned due to the economy crisis in 1998, if not, jb is very developed by now loh. Some much different when you can think of so many skyscrapers poping up around if there is no economy crisis.
Yesterday i drove past the best world, and in front is a big announcement. something like 'please help best world to revive'. What do you think?

Izzit true world longest??...i think japan got many this kind of bridge.

I read about this as well from Sin chew jit poh. They stated the world longest bridge that build across the johor river from senai airport to desaru. Probably or perhaps loh. Part of it already completed, maybe its true. The whole project will be completed in 2007.

xeoc, they are new developments, town planning from city square below the unbuilt horizon.

:eek2:Wow..i did not notice that JB has a lot of big projects which are under propose:eek:

Honestly i haven't heard about the future world longest suspension bridge will be in Johor..i even schock when weilene note that part of it already completed:eek:

Do they use Proton SAGA for the taxi in JB & what the usual using taxi in over Malaysia? In Kelantan (Kota Bahru) don't use Proton.

well.....nowadays I see a lot of Perdanas (used as premium taxis) around. Waja is gaining popularity as well. I think KL had began to phasing out Iswara already .....Saga had been nearly wiped out (I haven't seen one in a while).

As for the premium taxis are concerned.......there are quite a lot of Nissan Serenas running about ;)

The tower on the right had been stopped for over 2 years now.

I think it's because we can't see it la ;). Woodlands is a bit far from that area. The group of skyscrapers that you see first is the Tebrau gang. The downtown ones are further south. Besides, the flats of Woodlands have been around since the dinosaurs. :D
