First thing captured my attention is artist impression

Actually how this project is different from Forest City? What will make it a success?
What does it have that Forest City doesn’t have?

Can change the name Lido? It sounds so 70s

Johor still needs more ghost town

Danga bay lido waterfront near to custom....

Beside country garden danga bay

It is near the RTS, which is contributing the boom to JB city centre.

Theres plenty of condos unsold as I heard in JB

But the highest demand area will be the redevelopment of the oranged circle area.

Only those within 5km of RTS is in great demand now, esp those within walking distance.

the water so green :X

RTS is no longer a piped dream but will be completed by end2026. There r hundreds of thousand MYsian crossing over daily TO work or staying in SG. SG retirees or those WFH would rent out their SG home n stay in JB n the difference in rental should partially/fully pay for their monthly expenses in JB. Those families with couple working in SG would have a better life balance, n all r t20. MYsian from other states have already zooming here.
But cost of living in JB would shoot up. JB might not grow like Shenzhen but it will grow unlike the past. With JSSEZ & RTS, more foreign n SG companies will move/expand to Greater JB just like some of the data centres. Another industry that will boom is the solar farm which is 50x more productive than oil palm. Every year will attract hundreds billion rm of new investment. Only worry is the water resource.

Except forest city,medini area have the most.


The last is danga bay......

unless they build another RTS near 2nd link if not never develop other part of johor

HSR would solved that if it is resurrected. Together with duty free Special Financial Zone in Forest city.
Future 3rd link would be on the east side connecting to Changi.

Dulu danga bay veli the nice. Now cannot liao…

If a Singapore bus company operated at the Second Link Customs, it could lead to improvements.

Since 1998 until now, which is 26 years, no Singapore bus company has operated at the Second Link.

Currently, SMRT and SBS Transit operate at Woodland Customs with buses 160, 170, and 950.



Causeway Link buses are always slow and crowded at second link custom.


At the Second Link, SBS Transit, Tower Transit, Go-Ahead, and SMRT should introduce a bus service that crosses between Johor and Singapore.

they should build one link to desaru also this will boost tourism and also balance east & west coast of johor

Before 2007, there was a lot of rubbish on the beach and many lorries selling rojak, snacks, ice cream, burgers, keropok, and other items at Danga Bay seaside right ?

Please look at the map first.




How could Singapore/Malaysia build a bridge from the Desaru area to Singapore?




It is possible for Singapore to build a bridge across the sea from Masai, Johor to Sembawang, Singapore.




Anyway, I think Johor Bahru (JB) or Johor cannot always depend on Singapore.

We must build a strong economy ourselves. Relying on neighbors might be good, but talented individuals often move away to neighboring countries.

In JB, many people work in Singapore from Monday to Friday, leaving their older parents at home.

The Iskandar Coastal Highway (ICH) (formerly Johor Bahru West Coast Parkway) (Malay: Lebuhraya Pesisir Pantai Iskandar (LPPI)) or the stretch of road that includes


Lebuhraya Sultan Iskandar, Persiaran Sultan Abu Bakar (formerly Jalan Skudai, Jalan Abu Bakar) and


Persiaran Sultan Ismail (formerly Jalan Ibrahim and Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang) (Federal Route 52 (Iskandar Puteri–Danga Bay)


and Johor State Route 1 (Danga Bay–City Centre)) is a highway in Johor Bahru District, Johor, Malaysia.


The 23 km (14 mi) highway connects Iskandar Puteri in the west to Johor Bahru in the east.
