Gelang Patah

Gelang Patah is a town in Iskandar Puteri, in Johor Bahru District in the Malaysian state of Johor. It is home to the container Port of Tanjung Pelepas, which sits on the eastern mouth of the Pulai River close to the Straits of Johor that separate Malaysia and Singapore. About three kilometres from the port lies Forest City, a large integrated residential development and private town on 1,370 hectares, announced in 2006 as a twenty year project and pitched under China's Belt and Road Initiative. Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Gelang Patah is described as the oldest school in Iskandar Puteri. The town belongs to the Iskandar Malaysia development region, which turned it from a shantytown into a site for foreign investment, and it is also known for otak-otak, a steamed or grilled fish or seafood paste cake. It is the seat of a parliamentary constituency won in 2013 by Lim Kit Siang.
