| Sungai Segget Rejuvenation Project: New Life To JB City Centre |
| Sungai Segget, spanning 4,380 meters, gracefully winds its way through the heart of Johor Bahru's city center, flowing between Sungai Air Molek and Sungai Stulang.
This river's strategic position, with its impressive 23-meter width, has established it as the very soul of the city. It has historically served as a bustling trade route, acting as a central hub for loading and unloading goods and cargo since as early as 1855, when Iskandar Puteri was inaugurated by Temenggung Daeng Ibrahim.3 |
