GEOGRAPHY THROUGH MAPS

Johor Strait

Johor Strait separates Singapore Island from the southern tip of peninsular Malaysia. It is distinct from Singapore Strait, the main east–west shipping passage south of Singapore.

Fast Facts

  • Johor in Malaysia lies north and Singapore Island south.
  • Causeway and bridge crossings connect the two sides.
  • The strait is a local coastal passage rather than the whole Malacca–Singapore shipping route.
