ISTANA BUKIT SERENE
Go there and contact
Official residence of the Sultans of Johor, the palace was completed in 1933. It presents an architecture that is at the very least original, so-called Art Deco. It is rather reminiscent of a heterogeneous mixture between the English cottage and the traditional Malaysian house. The most kitsch feature is the replica of the royal crown, which acts as a portico at the entrance to the palace. Sultan Ismail is guarded day and night by 200 soldiers of the Royal Force of Johor, a private army. The palace faces Singapore, a former possession of the State of Johor.
