Did you know that the bustling suburb of Taman Molek that we see today was once a quiet transmission hub? For almost half a century, this very spot was home to the BBC’s main transmitting station in the Far East. Known locally as BBC Tebrau, it played a crucial role in broadcasting news and entertainment across the region before it was relocated to Singapore. In fact, the Masai Trunk Road, which runs through Taman Molek, was affectionately called BBC Road by the locals.

Today, Taman Molek has transformed into a vibrant mini-commercial centre. You’ll find branches of major banks like Standard Chartered, HSBC, and Maybank. It’s also a popular residential area, surrounded by other suburbs such as Taman Johor Jaya and Taman Redang. For golf enthusiasts, Taman Molek offers easy access to two major golf courses: Ponderosa Golf and Country Resort and Daiman 18 Golf and Country Resort.

Taman Molek is a testament to Johor Bahru’s continuous growth and evolution. From a quiet transmission outpost to a thriving hub, Taman Molek’s journey reflects the dynamic spirit of this city.
