Much of the history of the people of the Straits of Malacca in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is still unknown and perhaps unknowable, given the lack of source material. However, some aspects of political history are becoming clearer. It has become apparent that this period witnessed a fundamental change in the political structure of the area; able in the past to support empires and cultures of no small renown, the Malay world by the nineteenth century had disintegrated into a mass of petty states, leaderless and disorientated, a power vacuum that the British Empire was eventually forced to fill. Symptoms of this change first became discernable in the early eighteenth century, during the reign of the last Malay Raja Muda of the Johor Empire (1708–18). Johor was then still a powerful force in the Malay world, ruling a widespread area from Siak in Sumatra, through the coastal areas of the Malay peninsula (roughly, in modern terms, from Selangor south, then north again as far as Trengganu), plus the islands of the Riau–Lingga archipelago and Siantan. The sea was still a connecting, rather than a dividing force in Malay politics. In 1708 the administration of this empire fell to Tun Mahmud, who was to be the last Malay to hold the office of Raja Muda in Johor. He was by all accounts a remarkable ruler, under whose guidance Johor attained, for a while, great power and prestige.

As elaborated by scholars the built environment is influenced by culture, belief and past experiences. The paper intends to elaborate on the adoption of culture in the design of the Bugis traditional houses in Johor, Malaysia. The methodology involved two main instruments namely literature review and field observation. The studies suggest that even though the houses were built away from their homeland in Sulawesi, Indonesia the culture of the Bugis descendants remains intact. This was revealed in their behaviour and the forms of the plans and elevations of their traditional houses.

AbstractMalaysia is undergoing tremendous environmental changes due to population growth, economic development and urbanization. This has stimulated a rapid land use changes which in turn has increased the rate of soil erosion and river sedimentation. In this study, Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) are applied within a geographical information system (GIS) to assess the spatial pattern of soil erosion susceptibility of Johor River basin, Malaysia. Geomorphological, landuse and soil information along with other hydrological data such as, annual peak flow and runoff volumes are used to estimate the parameters required for the calculation of soil erosion susceptibility. The results show that annual erosion rate varies between 0.2 and 248.2 t/ha/year according to USLE, and between 19.2 and 2179.9 thousand tons per event according to MUSLE. The land cover management is found as the major factor responsible for soil erosion in the basin.

An independent candidate, Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad, won the Johore Baru parliamentary by-election in August 1988. The article considers what the results signal for the Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad's administration. It is argued that the Johore Baru election may well prove to be a watershed in Malaysian politics. (DÜI-Sen)

Sebelum kedatangan British, masyarakat Melayu di Johor mempunyai corak pendidikan tersendiri berdasarkan asas pendidikan Islam dan al-Quran. Institusi pendidikan tradisional ini diteruskan tanpa merubah struktur asasnya walaupun setelah kehadiran British ke negeri Johor. Justeru, makalah ini akan membincangkan mengenai perkembangan pendidikan Melayu dan agama di Johor Bahru dari 1857-1957. Makalah ini akan dimulakan dengan huraian mengenai latar belakang pendidikan Melayu dan agama di Johor. Di samping itu, makalah ini akan turut memfokuskan tentang perubahan yang telah dilakukan oleh pihak kerajaan dalam tempoh tersebut. Selain itu, makalah ini akan melihat peranan dan strategi masyarakat Melayu pelbagai lapisan dalam memajukan pendidikan masyarakat Melayu di Johor Bahru pada ketika itu. Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan pendekatan kajian perpustakaan dengan meneliti beberapa sumber primer seperti Johor Annual Report dari 1910-1915, Education in Johore, 1928-1933, Penyata Jabatan Agama Johor 1932, Penyata Sekolah-Sekolah Agama Johor dan Daerahnya bagi Tahun 1939 dan 1951 yang terdapat di Arkib Negara Malaysia Cawangan Johor selain sumber sekunder berbentuk buku dan tesis.

In order to reduce the economic and social disparity among the various regions of the country, the Malaysian government, since the early 1970s, has implemented its "growth-centre creation" policies. These have led to the evolvement of Penang as the growth centre for North Peninsular Malaysia, Kuantan for the East and Johore Baru for South Peninsular Malaysia. The role that Johore Port plays in the growth of South Peninsular Malaysia is examined

The Johor–Singapore Causeway was inaugurated on 28 June 1924. With this, Singapore became physically connected to the Malay Peninsula via a 1,056-metre-long raised track across the Johor Strait. Since then, this understated piece of infrastructure has come to underpin many aspects of life in Singapore and Malaysia. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, an estimated 300,000 people crossed between Malaysia and Singapore via the Causeway every day, making it one of the busiest border crossings in the world, and perhaps the busiest of all in Southeast Asia. The reasons for this transborder travel included daily commutes for work, access to education and health services, as well as shopping and leisure. In addition, people crossed the Causeway to then use either Singapore or Johor as a gateway to destinations further afield. While the pandemic curtailed almost all cross-border movement of people, as of early 2023 trips across the Causeway were approaching their pre-COVID-19 levels.
