Jason Bay
The bay was in colonial times known as Jason Bay or Jason's Bay, but was subsequently renamed Teluk Mahkota. The word "teluk" is the geographical term for bay in the Malay language. The word "mahkota" means "crown" in the Malay language and is probably a reference to Tunku Abdul Rahman (Tunku Mahkota of Johor) who was the "Tunku Mahkota" or Crown Prince of Johor from 1961 to 1981.
