Johor

Welcome to Johor.


Johor State of Malaysia

The word Johor is taken from the Arabic word, 'Jauhar', which literally means 'Precious Stones'. This illustrates the influence of the early Arab traders who traded spices in Johor. To the Siamese, Johor is 'Gangganu' or 'Treasured Stones'. One can trace the multifaceted culture and ethnic mix evident today back through the centuries when it was fought over by the Malays, Portugese, Achinese, Dutch, Bugis and British sometimes on grounds of religion but more often because of trade.

As one of the main urban states on the peninsular Malaysia, Johor state is an important industrial, logistical and commercial centre. Its major industries include electronics, resource and petrochemical refinary, and ship-building.
