Johor to advance dream projects to boost economy
PETALING JAYA: Johor is in for a Golden Age the next 10 years after receiving several investment plans and initiatives from the Federal government over the past few years.
Besides Iskandar Malaysia, which has received accumulated investments of RM262bil, the state government wants to bring development to other areas beyond Johor’s southern region.
Johor International Trade, Investment and Utilities Committee chairman Jimmy Puah Wee Tse said they had identified Muar, Segamat and Tangkak districts in the northern part as the Northern Johor Economic Growth Corridor.
“Johor State Investment Centre (JSIC) and Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) have been working closely to attract investors into Johor, which will help boost the economy,” said Puah.
Most recently, Sedenak Digital Valley was established as part of the KulaiSedenak 2025 Special Area Plan (RKK).
The SDV aims to become one of the leading digital hubs in the region, attracting high cap ital and technology investments.
Property developers are predicting demand for houses and commercial space to benefit from the overwhelming highpaying technology jobs available in the area.
Identifying the promising developments of Johor state, StarProperty.my Awards: Jewels of Johor is back for the second time this year.
Graced by Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar during its inception last year, the awards honoured industry players that have contributed to creating a vibrant market for the state.
Distinguished developers such as Gamuda Land, UMLand Bhd, Country Garden Danga Bay Sdn Bhd, and Eco World Development Bhd were among the winners last year.
Registration for this year’s Jewels of Johor award is open until July 25.
