Iskandar Puteri

South-eastern Asia

Iskandar Puteri, formerly known as Nusajaya, is a city and the administrative capital of the state of Johor, Malaysia. It is situated along the Straits of Johor at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula and is the southernmost city of continental Eurasia. Together with the adjacent cities of Johor Bahru and Pasir Gudang it lies within Johor Bahru District, the second largest district in Malaysia by population, and it hosts Kota Iskandar, the seat of government of the state of Johor. The Port of Tanjung Pelepas, the 15th busiest container port in the world, is also in the city. The area was once mostly fishing villages of Malays and Orang Laut, known as Sempit Puteri because it faces the narrowest point of the Tebrau Straits.
