About

About JBGems and how we check facts

JBGems is an independent guide to Johor Bahru for visitors from Singapore. It is built by SingRank, a search and content agency in Singapore. The site has no author bylines: it is published under the organisation, and every fact shows its source.

Two kinds of information

Checked facts

Crossing rules and similar facts come only from the organisation that publishes them: a government body, an operator, or the place itself. We copy the key sentence from the source page, record the date, and show the link beside the fact. If we cannot find the publisher's own page, the sentence does not go on the site.

Open map data

The map lists places from Overture Maps, which builds on OpenStreetMap. We use it to place pins and group them by area. We do not check it. A place can have closed, moved or changed its hours. Contact the place before you go.

Sources we accept

• Government and official bodies, for example ica.gov.sg, lta.gov.sg, imi.gov.my, johor.gov.my.
• The publisher of the information, for example the operator of a train or bus service: smrt.com.sg, ktmb.com.my, causewaylink.com.my, sbstransit.com.sg, senaiairport.com, berjayawaterfront.com.
• A place's own website, for facts about that place only.

We do not use news sites, blogs, aggregators, forums, review sites, booking sites or copies of official documents on other sites.

Facts expire

Every fact has a check date and comes off the page 30 days later until it is checked again. Facts on this site were last checked on 13 Nov 2026.

What we leave out

• Fares, timetables and opening dates, unless the publisher's page states them in a form we can read.
• Nightlife and adult venues. Massage and spa venues only if we have verified them.
• Photos with people, logos or shop signs. Every photo is used under an open licence and credited. See credits.

Flag and crest

The colours red, white and navy blue are the colours the Johor government portal names for the state flag. We use those colours only. We do not reproduce the flag, its crescent and star, or the state crest in our design or logo. Some building photos show the crest or flags as part of the building.

Corrections

We do not publish a contact address yet. Until we do, if you see a mistake, check the source link beside the fact: the publisher's page is the authority.
