Kota Tinggi

      town, West Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia), on the Johor River, north of its estuary at the Singapore Strait. It was one of the river capitals (1685–99) of the Johore-Riau (Riouw) kingdom. The modern town is an administrative centre and petroleum depot for an area of rubber plantations and tin mining. It is linked by road to the cities of Johor Bahru and Mersing.
