Is Johor Bahru Really That Bad?

Many have been said about this city. Visitors still flock in especially from the neighbour, Singapore. Besides visitors, Singaporean also invest. The crime rate is alarming; compare to the rest of the states in Malaysia Johor is the king.

Lee Kuan Yew; the senior mentor minister of Singapore, ever Malaya’s biggest fan, described Johor as “notorious for shootings, muggings and carjackings,” as readable in Asiaweek. He got blasted for that statement of course, and quickly apologized. Details here ... blasted!

Whatever happened, Singaporean still buying home, shopping, indulge themselves with the food galore, visits Johor as though nothing had happened. It's strange.
