Skudai (also spelled Sekudai) is a town in Johor, Malaysia. It is about 13 km northwest from Johor Bahru's central business district.
Skudai is located just outside the northwestern border of Johor Bahru, along national highway 1. The eponymous Skudai River separates Skudai from Tampoi ward of Johor Bahru.
Adjacent towns include Kulai (north), Iskandar Puteri (southwest), Pekan Nanas (west) and the Johor Bahru suburbs of Kempas (east) and Tampoi (southeast).
Skudai falls within the Iskandar Puteri constituency in the Malaysian Parliament, currently represented by Liew Chin Tong from Democratic Action Party (DAP).
In the Johor State Legislative Assembly, Skudai is represented by Marina Ibrahim, also from the DAP. She is the first ethnically Malay assemblyperson from the DAP representing the constituency.
Skudai is located outside Johor Bahru's city limits, thus placing it within the jurisdiction of the Iskandar Puteri City Council (Majlis Bandaraya Iskandar Puteri, MBIP). Skudai however is still well within Johor Bahru's metropolitan area and by extension, part of the Iskandar Malaysia development region.
Several shopping centres operate in Skudai, including Skudai Parade, AEON Mall Taman Universiti, Tasek Sentral, The Store in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, Sutera Mall in Taman Sutera Utama, and U Mall in Taman Pulai Utama and Giant Hypermarket.
KTM Intercity does not stop here. The nearest station is Kempas Baru. Muafakat Johor bus route P-403 and [1] Causeway Link routes T30, T31 and T32 connect Skudai to Johor Bahru Sentral railway station.[2]
The Kuala Lumpur-Johor Bahru trunk road (Federal Route 1) is the main route serving Skudai. Skudai is also the southern end of Federal Route 5 which begins in Ipoh, Perak and runs through the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
Senai International Airport is 14 km north of Skudai via Federal Route 1.
