Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB) has recently announced a new CCTV installation requirement for all new business license applicants under its jurisdiction, aimed at improving safety, surveillance, and urban monitoring across the city. This new regulation, confirmed during the Mesyuarat Penuh MBJB Bil. 12/2025 on 30 December 2025, mandates that businesses must install three (3) CCTV cameras as part of their licensing compliance.

Under the updated checklist for business license applications in Johor Bahru:
2 CCTV cameras must be installed at the front of the business premises
1 CCTV camera must be installed at the rear
This means that every new business applying for an MBJB licence in 2026 onwards must meet this CCTV standard before the permit can be issued. Compliance ensures better safety for patrons, staff, and property, while also aligning with MBJB’s urban security objectives. Malay Mail
Johor Bahru has been progressively building up its smart city infrastructure, including a significant network of CCTV cameras monitored through integrated systems such as JBIOCC (Johor Bahru Integrated Operations Control Centre). MEDIA DIGITAL JOHOR
The new CCTV requirement:
Acts as a crime deterrent,
Provides evidence support for investigations,
Boosts overall surveillance coverage in business areas that may not be fully monitored today.
This aligns with MBJB’s smart city goals and wider safety initiatives that already include hundreds of public cameras and advanced monitoring. Malay Mail+1
