Johore Baru, where are you?

Its almost two years since I last went in Johore Baru. Before that I have been going quite often to Johore Baru in the course of my work. Not much changed occurred during those visits although there were a few significant ones. For example, the smelly river that runs through the city has finally disappeared, hidden somewhere underneath. Then, like most cities, tall buildings just keep on appearing. Nevertheless, during this last visit, Johore Baru just don't seem to be the same anymore. Somehow, some things are missing. Can't quite put a finger to it but the feeling is definitely there. This definitely has everything to do with the new custom/immigration complex that recently came into use. It caused the character of the city to change drastically.
