Ulu Tiram, Johor

Ulu Tiram (GPS: 1.59948, 103.82056) is a town in Johor Bahru District, about 18 km to the northeast of Johor Bahru. It is on State Route 3, which leads to Kota Tinggi and onwards to the east coast. As with the many suburbs within the immediate vicinity of Johor Bahru, Ulu Tiram has little character or touristic sights.

Ulu Tiram was developed by early Chinese settlers in the 19th century through the Kangchu administrative system. A plantation was established at Kangkar Sungai Tiram which initially had gambier as the commodity crop, later switching to rubber and then oil palm.

The urban sprawl of Johor Bahru has reached Ulu Tiram in the past few decades, resulting in the development of estate land for residential housing. The new Senai-Desaru Expressway (E22) passes through Ulu Tiram, with Exit 2204 at the Ulu Tiram Interchange.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
