The village is known by locals of Johor Bahru as a major culinary hub due to its high concentration of restaurants and food courts.

Kampung Melayu Majidee and several other villages were used by the British authorities to accommodate their soldiers, which gave the village the name "majidee", which was used for a large constituency for the security forces for the front line, camp, and battalions to guard the royal family's bank between the mouth of Sungai Pandan and Sungai Skudai.

Its economy depends on its harbors, resorts, and tourist attractions, for tourists heading to and from Johor Bahru, the World Heritage Site at Tanjung Puteri, Johor River coast to the east, and Muar's geology and landforms to the north.

Kampung Melayu Majidee is enjoying the state capital's resources for humanitarian developments and township infrastructures.

The North–South Expressway's southern exit point in Johor Bahru Interchange connects Kampung Melayu Majidee from the direction of Ulu Tiram.
