The city would later be rebuilt at a different location.{{Cite book |last=Borschberg |first=Peter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q7lqBgAAQBAJ&dq=Johor+1587&pg=PA112 |title=Jacques de Coutre's Singapore and Johor 1594-c.1625 |date=2014-12-29 |publisher=NUS Press |isbn=978-9971-69-852-2 |language=en}}{{Cite book |last1=Andaya |first1=Barbara Watson |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=__dGEAAAQBAJ&dq=Johor+1587&pg=PT67 |title=A History of Malaysia |last2=Andaya |first2=Leonard Y. |date=2017-09-16 |publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing |isbn=978-1-350-30669-1 |language=en}}{{Cite book |last1=Riyanto |first1=Slamet |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j4ytEAAAQBAJ&dq=Johor+1587&pg=PA99 |title=Encyclopedia Series For Indonesian Children The Beauty Of Sumatera Island That Indonesian Children Need To Know |last2=Afifatun |first2=Siti |date=2023-02-13 |publisher=Penerbit Andi |isbn=978-623-8186-04-4 |language=en}}
In 1586 naval forces of Johor began diverting shipping to the Singapore Strait due to a lack of personnel available in Malacca.Saturnino Monteiro (2011), Portuguese Sea Battles 1580-1603 pp.170-174 Malacca itself was threatened by a large Johor fleet, but it was driven back by the presence of heavily armed Portuguese galleons in its harbour.Saturnino Monteiro (2011), Portuguese Sea Battles 1580-1603 pp.176-179
