As Johor Bahru means ‘New Johor’, there is an area in around Kota Tinggi which his known as Johor Lama, or the ‘old Johor’. Historically, Sultan Mahmud Shah, whose Malacca sultanate empire fell to the Portuguese fled to Bintan where he formed a new Johore Sultanate, whose son then moved the capital to Johor Lama where after many years of trying to oust the disturbing Portuguese, the city grew to become one of the more popular trading ports in the Johor-Riau empire. It was lated on when Stamford Raffles set foot here that more development took place. Temenggung Ibrahim, who is of Bugis nobles descendants was a capable governor and it was only after his son took over that Johor Bahru began to develop. It was then that the British then acknowledge him, Abu Bakar as the Sultan of Johor who is also known as the ‘Father of Modern Johor’. He was responsible for establishing the constitution of the state as well as developing a modern administrative system in the state.
