The Johor Bahru District is a district located in the southern part of Johor, Malaysia. The district covers an area of 1,112 km² and has a population of 1.33 million. It is the third largest metropolitan area in Malaysia after Klang Valley and Greater Penang . The core city in this district is Johor Bahru, yet administratively Johor Bahru Tengah city is more populous than Johor Bahru city, being the eleventh and twelfth most populated LGUs in Malaysia, respectively; neither city is related to the district, but are subunits of the state. The district borders Pontian district on the west, Kota Tinggi District on the east, Kulaijaya District on the north and Singapore to the south. Johor Bahru metropolitan area is surrounded by rich oil palm estates. Johor Bahru district comprises three local authorities - Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB), Johor Bahru Tengah Municipal Council (MPJBT) and Pasir Gudang Municipal Council (MPPG) with a possibly new fifth local council covering a proposed new administrative capital of Johor in Bandar Nusajaya near the Linkedua Expressway to Singapore. The city of Johor Bahru is Malaysia's southern gateway. It receives 60% of foreign tourists to Malaysia and is a major holiday and shopping destination for neighbouring Singaporeans due to the weaker Malaysian ringgit vis-a-vis the Singaporean dollar. There are also many Malaysians who study and work in Singapore, but commute on a daily basis between Johor Baru and the city state. The district has two land links to Singapore; Johor Causeway and the newer Linkedua Expressway. The customs and immigration complex of the Linkedua Expressway is named Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar in Malay, after the current Sultan's late great-grandfather, Sultan Abu Bakar. The site of the 1977 crash of Malaysian Airline System Flight 653 is nearby, Tanjong Kupang. == Capital == * Johor Bahru 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johor Bahru District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
