[edit] Royal Capital

It's written here that the royal capital is Pasir Pelangi. I thought it's Muar town. Was it officially moved?

--Bukhrin 18:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Muar was never the royal capital. Wai Hong 02:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Muar was only the royal town when the Sultan during Daeng Ibrahim and Abu Bakar period had so little power. Anyway, the Malay wikipedia article has mistakes. The Sultan is in Pasir Pelangi near JOhor Bahru now. Wai Hong 13:52, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Muar is known as Bandar Maharani. During the Daeng and Abu Bakar period, the sultan resided in Muar. It was a royal town. In fact, at Malay Wikipedia: ms:Bandar_DiRaja

[edit] Arisa

  • Arisa - A unique chicken dish that is very-very rare nowdays, normally served to the royalties and social elites in Johor at formal functions and celebrations.

I cut the following out of the main article as it was not appropriate in an article about the state. I guess it needs a home in another article someday:


The ingredients are:

    • 2 young chicken weighing 1.2 kg
    • 500 g of oats
    • 4 red onions
    • 15 cloves of garlic
    • 15 cardammon seeds
    • 10 cloves
    • 50 mm of cinnamon sticks
    • 100 mm of ginger
    • 340 g lb of ghee
    • 2 tablespoons of white pepper
    • Salt to taste
    • Clean the chicken, cut into 4. Place in a stock pot. Blend the ginger and garlic, cut red onion into 4 and put the blended ingredients and onion into the stock pot. Add in 12 glasses of water,add in salt,cardamon seeds, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Bring the chicken to boil. Take out the chicken, deboned it and blend it into puree. Sieve the chicken stock, bring it to boil again, add in the chicken puree, oats, white pepper and salt to taste. Stir nonstop until it thickens, add in half of the ghee and stir until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture into a square mold to shape it with a depression in the middle. The rest of the ghee is used to fry onions which is the poured into the depression. The fried onions is sprinkled on top to garnish.

[edit] Sultanate of Johor

Please help out at Sultanate of Johor. We could even turn that article as history of Johor. __earth 11:39, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Possible copyright violation, History section

The history is taken verbatim from Johor Tourism __earth (Talk) 03:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Economy section

I started the section on johor's economy with information about SJER. I hope someone with better knowledge of Johor can expand that section. I also noticed that there has not been much references in this article. Wai Hong 14:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English Naming

From what I have known that Johore used to be an English name by British. Should we change the english name Johor to Johore? Johnson 12:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. "Johor" is more commonly used than "Johore" today. Even in Singapore, where "Johore" is more common a couple of years ago, has switch to "Johor". --Joshua Chiew 10:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
