The town of Permas Jaya (百万镇), in Masai, is another food haven known to many Singaporeans. It is situated on the other side of Sungai Tebrau in Johor Bahru.
There are generally 3 points of interests (POIs) in Permas Jaya for most Singaporeans, namely AEON Mall Permas (for shopping, supermarket, etc), the pasar malam (night market) on Sunday evenings and the numerous dining options around the area. These POIs are in a small commercial area immediately after passing Sungai Tebrau. There are more to be discovered beyond the small area.
BAS.MY J21 and J22, operated by Causeway Link, are two public bus services that traverse between JB Sentral Bus Terminal and Permas Jaya but using different routes.
BAS.MY J21 (used to be myBAS T21) will travel from JB Sentral through Taman Pelangi, make a brief stop at Taman Sentosa next to Kopilicious and Pekin Restaurant (北京楼), then crosses Sungai Tebrau to Permas Jaya. Service interval is 20 minutes.
Note: BAS.MY J21 no longer stops at Mid Valley Southkey Mall with effect from 30th September 2025. See: JB Bus Guide: Getting to Mid Valley Southkey Mall
The new BAS.MY J22 will travel from JB Sentral along Tebrau Highway, that passes Pelangi Plaza, Taman Sri Tebrau and Taman Sentosa, then crosses Sungai Tebrau to Permas Jaya. Service interval is 30 minutes.
The bus fare to Permas Jaya from JB Sentral should be around RM2.10 per adult per trip.

Get to / Return from Permas Jaya
Getting to AEON Mall Permas, BAS.MY J21 service will stop at a bus-stop on the eastern side of the mall. To return to JB Sentral, board at the "bus-stop" (without shelter) underneath a pedestrian bridge on the western side of the mall — there is only one such bridge in the area. A PAJ signpost has been erected to identify the "invisible" bus-stop.
To visit the night market on Sunday evenings, alight at the bus-stop next to a petrol kiosk (BHPetrol Permas Jaya 2), one stop before AEON Mall Permas, and walk to Jalan Permas 11. When taking BAS.MY J22, alight at this bus-stop too for AEON Mall Permas. To return to JB Sentral, board BAS.MY J21 / J22 at the opposite bus-stop.
To visit any of the dining options around the area, look up their locations on maps and decide which of the two bus-stops is nearer.
