Johore Strait (sh)




Northern arm of the Singapore Strait between the Republic of Singapore and the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula.

It is 30 mi (50 km) long and 0.75 mi (1.2 km) wide. Its eastern portion has a deepwater access channel to Changi naval base on Singapore's northeastern coast. It was the scene of heavy fighting in 1942 during the Japanese drive to conquer Singapore. A causeway links Singapore to the mainland.
