It’s Tanjung Puteri! Congrats @Chong Zhong Zen @Luciano Ivanovich @Igo The Chess Pro Reason: 📜 Why was Johor Bahru once called Tanjung Puteri? 1. Geographical Meaning - “Tanjung” means cape or headland in Malay. - “Puteri” means princess.🟰 So Tanjung Puteri = Princess Cape — likely a poetic or symbolic name for a coastal area. 2. Pre-1855 Fishing Village - Before modern development, Tanjung Puteri was a quiet Malay fishing village, located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, across the straits from Singapore. - It was strategically located near the Johor River mouth, good for trade and defense. 3. Royal Connection – Sultan Abu Bakar - In 1855, Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim moved his administrative capital from Telok Blangah (in Singapore) to Tanjung Puteri. - His son, Sultan Abu Bakar, later renamed it Johor Bahru in 1866 when it became the official capital of the modern Johor Sultanate. 🏰 Symbolism of the Name - Some legends say the name Puteri (princess) might be linked to local folklore or a symbolic “jewel” of the kingdom. - Others say it simply reflected how locals saw the beauty or strategic value of the cape — like a princess of the sea. 🗺️ Today: - You can still find places named Tanjung Puteri in JB (like schools, hotels, and roads) as a nod to the city’s history.
