[edit] 2nd biggest city
Is JB really the second biggest city? I thought Georgetown of Penang is?
It is really great to see such an active contribution to this article! Thank you everyone!
[edit] Yes, it is
Yes, it's true. The previous holder for 2nd largest city was Ipoh, but then surpassed by JB because JB has larger population growth rate than Ipoh. Georgetown's population rate was slightly negative in 2000 but then slightly positive several years later. Hezery99 04:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Naming convention
The Chinese name is not officially accepted by Sultan Iskandar. Only Jawi and Rumi are the officially accepted scripts and Malay is the officially accepted language of Malaysia.

[edit] Addition of tourist info
Can I suggest and possibly get a concensus to remove the tourist promotional information added by Cejan?
The reasons being:
1. I recognise the writing and pictures are from local tourist promotional brochures. It thus violates copyright requirements for contribution of information/content to Wikipedia.
2. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Travel information should be moved to wikitravel.org with a link from this article to wikitravel.org's Johor Bahru page.
3. The new "Introduction" section added duplicates the actual introduction section at the top of the page to some degree. If additional introduction is required it should be integrated into existing/actual introduction section.
Sections in question:
1. Introduction 2. Getting there and around 3. Places of interest

[edit] Flag
Since JB's flag is similar to that of Labuan's, I've made this page borrowed the flag. Unless somebody is willing to redraw the flag, please do not remove the flag. THanks. __earth (Talk) 15:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of name?
Does anyone know the origin of the name? If it were Johor baru I could understand, but where does the 'h' come from? Is it a variant or baru (Malay, "new")? m.e. 09:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. It's a variant but no longer in use. After the Malay language was standardized, only "baru" is now considered legit Malay. So, "bahru" is outdated. However, it's a place name so (officially spelt Johor Bahru), it doesn't really matter. __earth (Talk) 09:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mbjb logo.gif
Image:Mbjb logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
