According to Johor’s Menteri Besar, Onn Hafiz Ghazi, the Johor-Singapore special economic zone (JS-SEZ) project is projected to generate as many as 100,000 well-compensated employment opportunities. These jobs are anticipated to offer competitive salaries, signaling a significant economic boost for the region. The JS-SEZ initiative would catalyze economic growth by leveraging strategic location advantages and fostering closer collaboration between Johor and Singapore.

Through the creation of a dedicated economic zone, it seeks to attract investments, spur innovation, and enhance productivity across various industries. The forthcoming joint agreement between Malaysia and Singapore regarding the JS-SEZ project, slated for finalization by year-end, will outline the collaborative framework established by both nations. This comprehensive agreement will articulate the specific areas of cooperation essential for the project’s advancement, encompassing targeted sectors, designated locations, and proposed incentives to be extended.

Onn Hafiz expressed his confidence that the project will draw substantial foreign investments and significantly bolster Johor’s economic expansion. At the Johor International Student Leaders Conference 2024 in Johor Bahru yesterday, he stated that this endeavor is poised to revolutionize the economic dynamics of the state. He highlighted its potential to revolutionize the economic dynamics of Johor, suggesting that it would bring about substantial changes and opportunities for growth. By positioning the state as an attractive destination for foreign investments and fostering collaboration with Singapore, the project aimed to create a conducive environment for economic prosperity and job creation.

He emphasized that the “Maju Johor 2030” agenda, championed by the state government, has made significant strides, with the implementation of 55 strategies and 209 initiatives over the last two years. These efforts have yielded impressive results, attracting investments totaling RM113.7 billion and creating 35,000 job opportunities. The JS-SEZ is anticipated to enhance the business environments in both the Iskandar Malaysia region and Singapore, particularly focusing on sectors such as electronics, financial services, business-related services, and healthcare. Singapore stands as the second-largest overseas investor in the state, accounting for approximately 70% of Johor’s overall foreign direct investment within the manufacturing domain.
