Johor Bahru City Square (Malay: Dataran Bandaraya Johor Bahru) is the main square of Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.[1] It was completed on 1 January 1994, the day Johor Bahru was declared as a city, costing around MYR 10 million to build.
The city square features a 51-metre-tall clock tower,[2] a 31-metre-tall flag pole, a big field and two giant LED television screens imported from Japan and costing MYR 2.2 million to install. Its design is said to resemble a combination of Sultan Ibrahim Building (then the State Secretariat Building of Johor) and the Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque.[3]
Activities
[edit]The square is often used for official events, as well as sport competitions. At night, the area turns into an eatery area.[2]
