Permas Jaya, JB

• Every rent below is an asking price from a property portal, not a transacted rent.
• Every table states when it was read and how many listings it came from. Thin samples are labelled as such — no averages are computed from a handful of listings.

Only 6 factories (after removing duplicates) with Permas Jaya addresses appeared among this round's PropertyGuru commercial listings, asking RM4,300 – 90,000 across very different sizes — read with caution. Tell me the use and the size and I will look.

Now you have seen the rents — which one are you?

Renting, letting or selling in Permas Jaya, JB — come straight to me for any of the three.

So the official figure — a median household income of RM8,977 for Johor Bahru district — covers every household in the district, including the large share working entirely on the Malaysian side: one person's Singapore salary is close to the median for a whole household across the district. Permas Jaya is about 20 minutes by car to the JB CIQ (in the traffic when queried on the afternoon of 19 October) — the closest of the eastern areas. This round the condo listings were mostly three-bedrooms at The Straits View, and the landed mostly two-storey terraces.

• Condos are concentrated at The Straits View on the waterfront, mostly three-bedrooms, plus the Rumah Pangsa Permas Jaya flats.
• Landed is mostly two-storey terraces.
• AEON Mall Permas Jaya is the main mall.
• The crossing used is the Causeway (JB CIQ) — the shortest drive of the eastern areas.

Whether this is a Chinese-majority or a Malay-majority area is not stated here. The statistics department publishes ethnic breakdowns by district, but only down to "Johor Bahru district" — not to Permas Jaya. Applying a district-wide ratio to a single neighbourhood would be wrong, so this is left blank until sub-district data can be found.

Everything above is public. What actually decides it — what is vacant now, what it really signs at, what yours would sell for today — is not public. Ask me.

• Condo and landed rents — PropertyGuru rental listings, searched for "Bandar Baru Permas Jaya" and "Taman Johor Jaya", first 3 pages of residential and first 2 of condos for each, read 19 October 2026; 89 listings after filtering by address and removing duplicates, plus 2 with an obviously wrong price or type (a sale price entered as a monthly rent, for example) that were left out. Asking prices, not transacted rents.
• Shop rents — PropertyGuru commercial rentals, read 19 October 2026; filtered by address to this area and each listing read to split it by floor (in areas with many listings only the first dozen or so were read — the shop table shows how many). Asking prices.

• Commuter numbers and Singapore-dollar salaries — Sinar Daily, 28 May 2023. Press report, not official statistics; the ringgit conversion is at the rate quoted at the time.
• Bandar Baru Permas Jaya to the JB CIQ drive time — Google Maps directions, queried around 4 pm on Monday 19 October 2026: about 20 minutes, 13.3 km, in the traffic at that time. Public map.
• Coordinates, schools, hospitals and malls — the institutions' Google Maps entries, checked 19 October 2026. Public map.
• Official name, population (about 40,000 – 45,000), coordinates and bridges — Wikipedia, Permas Jaya entry.

Due in the next version: Move the rents onto transacted data from the National Property Information Centre (NAPIC/JPPH) rather than asking prices alone; add the ethnic breakdown once sub-district data can be found; confirm the local authority and mukim; split condos by bathroom count listing by listing. Asking rents move, so the figures on this page are re-checked every six months.
