A meeting was held on several proposals related to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. Many members of ministries were involved, including Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Johor Chief Minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi. The meeting focused on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone and Special Financial Zone in Johor. More than 500 projects in Johor for the this year 2024, with a cost of RM4.7 billion, have been approved. Major infrastructure projects in Johor are in the process of being upgraded, including a section of the North-South Highway from Senai to Simpang Renggam, the construction and upgrading of the JB Sultanah Aminah 2 hospital, and improvements to mitigate flooding in certain districts. All these projects are part of the effort to make the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone a new economic hub, ensuring successful cooperation and providing a seamless business environment for both Singapore and Malaysia, especially Johor. We anticipate that by 2027, when the Rapid Transit System (RTS) is operational, a large number of residents will reside in the JB and Iskandar Puteri areas.
