JB Center is bad due to the road works. Will get worst before it gets better.
Too many run down buildings, cannot tear down due to legal ownership unless gov force take over.
Maybe in a next 2-3 years will have improvement but for now is probably as bad as it gets.

QUOTE(hbm90 @ May 8 2025, 10:16 AM) I wonder which died down malls this dungu going to, when you got other options like paradigm/southkey, etc. Only malls worth going are MidValley SouthKey, Paradigm Mall, Tebrau City, Toppen, City Square and Aeon Nusa Jaya. Honorable mention to Plaza Pelangi and Holiday Plaza because i am sentimental. Other malls are mehhhhh.

QUOTE(trumpkampung @ May 8 2025, 11:12 AM) price also turn out to be very well Since so many millionaires u see they r willing to SPEND, esp eating out. U will see many Alphard n MPV around. Many new property launching >1 million r snapped up within days if not hours. Some land prices have multiplied within the last couple of years esp after data centre getting hot. Pity those who can't cope with d higher cost of living.

QUOTE(HikayatSalju @ May 8 2025, 09:38 AM) No parks or interesting museums? Forest City beach not worth it? Museums = ada. But I dont see it as some places you will go repeatly. Parks = nature parks are not as good as the klang valley. They are a few for recreations but nothing special. Forest city beach is not different from desaru except you wont dare to jump into sea by Forest CIty beach. You might like those place like the blue lake but it is for photo purpose usually you go. Unless you enjoy the walk across forest. This post has been edited by Blackscreamerz: May 8 2025, 01:51 PM

JB is a messy and poorly planned city. The city also feels like it caters to Singaporeans more than Malaysians.

QUOTE(sinkiebaru @ May 7 2025, 04:36 PM) Every time I cross over from Singapore to JB I feel JB is very run down. The JB sentral area is very overcrowded and chaotic. Traffic is a mess. Many other parts of JB are run down, many malls are dying or died, the buildings around are frequently run down, traffic is always bad at the city center. The newer places are quite nice but then the older parts are left to rot and not maintained. For such a large city, the public transport system is terrible, the bus are frequently in bad shape, no proper public bus terminal, just overall horrible. I compare with other cities in Malaysia, KL, Penang, Ipoh, Melaka. I think they are in better shape than JB. JB just gives me that dark, gloomy, broken down, shady kind of feel. It seems like I'm stepping into Gotham city sometimes. Is JB the worst city in Malaysia or did I miss out on another city in Malaysia which is worse?  Yesterday jb custom near polis station super jam.... Some one said it will block after 6pn some friday

QUOTE(arif85124 @ May 8 2025, 09:31 AM) JB is just SG worker quarters | Statement | Meaning | | "JB is just SG worker quarters" | Johor Bahru feels like a place mainly for people who work in Singapore | | SG = Singapore | Refers to people working across the causeway | | Worker quarters = dorm or home | Suggests JB is where workers live/rest, not a city for its own sake | | Why people live in JB | Lower cost of living, cheaper rent and housing | | Daily cross-border commute | Many travel from JB to SG every day for work | | Tone of statement | Slightly sarcastic or critical |
