Location:

Johor is situated at the southern tip of Peninsula Malaysia; the city is washed by seas on three sides - the Malacca Straits in the west, the Straits of Johor separating the city from Singapore, and the South China sea on the east coast. Johor was also called Hujung Tanah which means End of the Lands. This is because Johor occupies the tail portion of the Malay peninsula.
