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.

This study focuses on the Bugis ethnic identity and retention efforts, among the Bugis community in Pontian, Johor. This study used qualitative methods with ethnographic approach through semi-structured interviews, moderate participant observation and documentation. Data were analysed using NVIVO 8 software to assist in the process of transcription and data organization. NVIVO 8 generates data analysis has been prepared based on coding, themes, order and categories. The entire data have been organized checked using triangulation, data, technique and time. The results show that the Bugis ethnic identity, which is still practiced in Pontian until now, is a form of Bugis non-material culture. While maintaining the identity of the efforts made by individuals and groups by way of inheritance of cultural values through the filtering process of filtering elements of culture that is based on Islam, adaptation to local culture and government policy.

Hubungan diplomatik merupakan hubungan yang terjalin di antara dua atau lebih kerajaan. Pada dasarnya, hubungan ini terbina atas dasar kepercayaan, keserasian dan keinginan untuk menjayakan matlamat yang sama demi kepentingan kerajaan masing-masing. Namun, hubungan diplomatik ini akan mengalami kerencatan apabila segelintir pemerintah kerajaan tidak lagi terikat dengan nilai integriti dan melihat 'kuasa' sebagai agenda utama dalam hubungan tersebut. Makalah ini bertujuan mengkaji faktor penyebab berlakunya permasalahan ini. Bagi memperoleh data, penulis melakukan kajian kepustakaan. Hasil dapatan menemui bahawa faktor kerencatan ini berlaku disebabkan oleh interaksi sosial yang berbeza antara kerajaan, matlamat untuk menjadi 'kerajaan autokratik' dan akibat perlanggaran prinsip etika dan moral hidup. Naskhah Sulalatus Salatin, Tuhfat al-Nafis dan Hikayat Aceh akan dijadikan sebagai bahan perbincangan utama. Diplomatic relationship is an affiliation that is formed between two or more overnments. Essentially, this relationship is built on belief, compatibility and desire to achieve similar goals for the sake of their respective state interests. However, this diplomatic relationship will decline when government rulers are bound with the value of integrity and perceive 'power' as main agenda in that affiliation. This article aims to study the causal factor towards this problem. To obtain data, the author prepared aprecise literature study. Results of the study showed that factors that lead to this interference are social interaction that is diverse between governments, the goal of becoming the 'autocratic government,' and the collision of the principle of ethics and moral life. The copy of Sulalatus Salatin, Tuhfat al- Nafis and Hikayat Aceh will be utilised as the main discussion materials.

Abstract. High-impact floods have become a virtually annual experience in Malaysia, yet flood insurance has remained a grossly neglected part of comprehensive integrated flood risk management. Using discriminant analysis, this study seeks to identify the demand-side variables that best predict flood insurance purchase and risk aversion between two groups of residential homeowners in three districts of Johor State, Malaysia: those who purchased flood insurance and those who did not. Our results revealed an overall 34% purchase rate, with Kota Tinggi district having the highest (44%) and thus the highest degree of flood risk aversion. The Wilks' lambda F test for equality of group means, standardised discriminant function coefficients, structure correlation, and canonical correlation has clearly shown that there are strong significant attribute differences between the two groups of homeowners, based on the measures of objective flood risk exposure, subjective risk perception, and socio-economic cum demographic variables. However, the measures of subjective risk perception were found to be more predictive of flood insurance purchase and flood risk aversion.

The rise of Iskandar Malaysia as a regional hub has profoundly altered the domestic landscape, generating a knock-on effect on Johor's housing development, both economically and politically. Housing policy and development in Johor, as illustrated in the formation of Iskandar Malaysia, is riddled with conflict along two dimensions — "bumiputra versus non-bumiputra" and "federal government versus state government". The first one is entangled with international real estate development and foreign investment, while the latter has more to do with the rise of sub-national autonomy in Johor. Particularly in southern Johor, housing policy has increasingly been influenced by foreign investment through implementations of mega projects (e.g., Forest City). These mega housing projects not only boost the state's coffers, but also change the way housing is produced, financed and governed. Given the importance of sub-national governments in many large-scale housing projects in Iskandar Malaysia, the changing political conditions urge us to rethink the long-standing practice of national-centric development policy in Malaysia. Taking housing as a point of departure, the timing is ripe to revisit the role of state government in policy-making and urban governance.

This article examines various aspects of the formulation of the Dutch East India Company's treaty and alliance system, based on published and unpublished papers written by, or in the possession of, Hugo Grotius (1583–1645). In particular the study draws on his commentary on the Sultan of Johor in De Jure Praedae, and his submissions to the Indies Conferences of 1613 and 1615.

The aim of the research is to find the elements of history from the kings of Malay in Riau, time of the power, and historic event in Hikayat Negeri Johor. The qualitative method was used with descriptive analysis and comparation study. Results of the study proved that Hikayat Negeri Johor contains many historical elements consisting of figure of the Malay kings, background place and time, and historical events related to their politics and their power. The politics pertain to the dominion of the kings related to some periods, from Sultan Abdul Jalil Syah until Sultan Mahmud. The historical elements can proved from comparation of many sources. The conclusion is that this work has highly historical value. This work can be considered to be used in compiling a local history. The content of the historical elements in this work includes six characters of Malay Kings in Riau, places and times of event, and historical events. Based on the comparation study, it was found that many historical events in Hikayat Negeri Johor are proven facts in history.
