As the Singapore Dollar hits an all-time high against Malaysian Ringgit, some of those residing in Singapore may be inclined to cross over to Johor during the weekends or holidays to enjoy more affordable shopping, dining and even travelling.

Due to high traffic between Singapore and Johor, the Causeway can get congested at times, especially during the holidays. In fact, Malaysia received 1,809,837 tourists from Singapore during the period of January and July 2022 – which is more than half of total arrivals at 3,208,378.

Fortunately, residents in Singapore can reach Johor easily by a ferry ride as well.

Tanjung Pengelih is a small coastal town in Pengerang situated in the Kota Tinggi district and is only a 45-minute ferry ride away. There are family-friendly attractions and seafood restaurants in Pengerang for those who might want a short getaway over the weekend.

Pengerang is known for being a focal point of the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry where final products of crude oil and natural gas are formed. Starting from 2012, the Johor government had established industrial zone Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) that spans approximately 20,000 acres.
