Gudwara Sahib, The Sikhs settled in the State of Johor in the late 19th Century. On 5th April 1916, the Sikhs requested for a piece of land from the Johor Police Commissioner to build a Sikh Gurdwara. On 10th February 1921, the present site was gazetted as a temple reserve. This land was very muddy and swampy. The Sikhs filled up the land with sand and stones and upon this they constructed their first Sikh Gurdwara in late 1921.
