JOHOR BAHRU, Feb 25 (Bernama) -- The Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) Masterplan and Investment Blueprint, to be launched later this March, will serve as a comprehensive roadmap outlining the strategic, systematic and collaborative framework for the next phase of cross-border economic development.
Federal commissioner and director of Corporate Management and Finance, Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), Nor Hisham Mohd Yusof, said the blueprint, developed in collaboration with the Economy Ministry, will detail key investment focus areas, priority sectors, infrastructure enhancements and talent ecosystem development.
“In essence, the documents will define how we move forward strategically, systematically, and collaboratively,” he said at IRDA’s Buka Puasa with the media event here today.
It was reported that the JS-SEZ Investment Blueprint and Master Plan will be officially launched on March 30 in Johor Bahru.
Nor Hisham said the JS-SEZ represents a new phase of Malaysia–Singapore economic cooperation, aimed at strengthening regional value chains, enhancing ease of doing business and positioning Johor and Singapore as a globally competitive growth corridor.
The initiative is also expected to catalyse high-quality investments, create skilled employment opportunities, improve connectivity and support infrastructure development across the region.
Nor Hisham said the official launch of the JS-SEZ Masterplan and Investment Blueprint will bring together government leaders, industry stakeholders, investors and international partners, marking a significant milestone in regional development efforts.
He said that the media would continue to play an important role in communicating accurate information, building investor confidence and highlighting emerging opportunities arising from the implementation of the JS-SEZ.
The JS-SEZ is a designated area in Johor, designed to foster economic collaboration and investment between Malaysia and Singapore.
It aims to create a vibrant hub for businesses in various sectors, leveraging the strengths of both countries.
