01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Pasir Gudang—534,659, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Pasir Gudang is GeoNames ID 1732722. Its recorded administrative path is Daerah Johor Baharu → Johor → Malaysia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Pasir Gudang occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2025-11-03; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1732722, the coordinate pair 1.4620 / 103.9053, country rank 16 of 20, and neighbor GeoNames 1732747 at 11.387 km bind Pasir Gudang to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

The IANA identifier Asia/Kuala_Lumpur is shared by 19 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Pasir Gudang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Pasir Gudang's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Pasir Gudang's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Pasir Gudang, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
