Plan to turn Johor river into 'Venice of the East'

An artist's impression of the River City @ Danga Bay project that will feature cafes, heritage shows and hotels and apartments along 6km of the 15km-long Danga River, which will be cleaned up and deepened.

A RIVER in the state capital Johor Baru will be cleaned up, deepened and revitalised in a RM2.5 billion (S$919.6 million) project to turn it into a "Venice of the East".
The River City @ Danga Bay project will feature riverfront cafes, heritage shows and hotels and apartments along 6km of the 15km-long Danga River.

A ground-breaking ceremony was held yesterday amid concerns in Singapore of a looming residential property glut in Johor.
Johor Menteri Besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin, the state's chief minister, played down the worries, saying the developers are not constructing all their residential units at one go.
