The Johor state government is committed to the success of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), aiming to position it as a key investment gateway for Southeast Asia. Lee Ting Han, Chairman of the State Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs, and Human Resources Committee, stated that efforts are underway to promote JS-SEZ through official visits to countries like Qatar, Singapore, Japan, China, South Korea, and other Middle Eastern nations. The state’s focus is on attracting companies from these regions for faster business expansion.

Lee added that the government will hold JS-SEZ briefing programs and forums in Johor, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore to explain the zone’s policies, incentives, and investment opportunities. The state is optimistic about maintaining strong investment performance, following a record RM19 billion in investments by the third quarter of last year. The meeting also highlighted incentives for the Forest City Special Financial Zone (SFZ) and the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) Special Zone.
