Is Johor safe for solo female travelers?

Johor offers a moderate level of safety for solo female travelers. While violent crime against tourists is relatively rare, pickpocketing and purse-snatching incidents are quite common, especially in crowded areas. It's advisable to stay vigilant, avoid walking alone late at night in less populated areas, and keep your valuables out of sight. Public transportation is generally reliable and safe. However, interactions with strangers should be approached with caution. As a general rule, respect the local customs and dress modestly to avoid unwanted attention.
