Royal Abu Bakar Museum Johor Bahru

The Royal Abu Bakar Museum Johor Bahru is one of the main attractions in town.

The museum occupies the Istana Besar (Grand Palace) which was specifically commissioned in 1864 by the Father of Modern Johor, Sultan Abu Baker. The Grand Palace which was completed in 1864 incorporates some of the Sultan's creative ideas in its architecture. 

In the early 1990s, the late ruler, His Majesty Sultan Iskandar, decided that members of the public should be given the opportunity to view the Royal Family's collection in a proper museum setting. His Majesty consented for the palace to be converted into a museum. The museum was officially declared on May 11th 1990.

The museum is home for vast arrays of treasures, work of art, antiquities and furniture belonging to the Royal Family. There is also a picture gallery which features past and present rulers or the Sultanate and their consorts. A large collection of their memorabilia is also featured. 

Opened from Saturday to Thursday from 9:00 am till 5:00pm.

The One and Only in Malaysia

The Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple is a major Hindu temple as well as one of the oldest temples in Tebrau, Johor Bahru,Malaysia. 

The temple was listed in the Malaysian Book of Records as the first and only glass temple in the nation on May 12, 2010

 It all started in 1991, when Mr Sri Sinnathamby Sivasamy, current temple chairman and chief priest, also known as Guru Bhagawan Sittar inherited the administration of the temple from his father. He is the inspiration and driving force behind the temple. The Guru made a commitment to rebuild the temple upon inheriting it from the humble hut it once was. In spite of difficulties and challenges, the temple was rebuilt and officially reopened in 1996.

The Guru had the inspiration to rebuild the temple in glass during one of his trips to Bangkok. When he went there, while travelling in a rickshaw, something glittered in the light and caught his eyes. Later he found that it was the glass artwork at the temple entrance that had caught his eyes. He was amazed that a small glass artwork could capture his attention from a vast distance. This inspired him to use this technique in the Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Temple. He believed a temple fully embellished with impressive glass artwork will attract local devotees and visitors from the world over. Transformation of the temple with glass fittings started in 2008 and was completed in October 2009. At least 90 per cent of the temple is embellished by a mosaic of 300,000 pieces of red, blue, yellow, green, purple and white glass.

The centrepiece in the Athma Lingam sanctuary is a lotus for Lord Shiva, on which devotees can pour rose water and perform their prayers. Guru says this special sanctuary is the first in Malaysia to be designed with walls that are fully covered with 300,000 mukni Rudraksha beads from Nepal.

You can visit the temple at:
