Iskandar Malaysia: The Cornerstone of The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone

Malaysia and Singapore have officially formed the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) on 7 January 2025, envisioned to enhance the economic potential of the region. The initiative is set to roll out 50 projects in its first five years, scaling up to 100 projects over a decade, which will create 20,000 skilled job opportunities across 11 key economic sectors, including Energy and the Green Economy. The project aims to align both countries as global economic hubs, leveraging Iskandar Malaysia’s existing infrastructure and investment commitments that have already surpassed RM383 billion.
