Over last couple of years, I have written about various cultural activities in Johor Bahru, and tried to provide information on the history of this city. So, here I will provide links to these blogs for easier access.
The feature length documentary film called The Hidden History of Johor Lama describes the history of the Johor Sultans up to Sultan Abu Bakar and the growth of Johor Bahru. Below is a trailer and links to download the 85 minute film from Vimeo.
In 2018, my husband and I made a 25 minute documentary about The Hidden History of Johor Bahru, filming in both Johor Bahru and Singapore. Here is a short trailer to tempt you, and for US$2 you can watch the whole thing! Or, if you want to watch a lower quality video for free, then you can watch this on YouTube. Just search for The Hidden History of Johor Bahru.
