Johor Bahru City Square (Malay: Dataran Bandaraya Johor Bahru) is the main square in 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 a giant television screen imported from Japan and costing MYR 2.2 million to install.[3] The flag pole sometimes hoists the Malaysian flag and other times the Johor state flag.
Activities
The square is often used for official events, as well as sport competitions. At night, the area turns into an eatery area.[2]
