Johor-Singapore SEZ poised to absorb Singapore’s lower-skilled jobs – but that may be the point

THE upcoming Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is shaping up to be more than just a symbol of cross-border collaboration – it might soon become the new hub for lower-skilled jobs currently filled by foreign workers in Singapore.

Rather than being a drawback, this shift could align with the economic objectives of both nations.

Situated just across the Causeway, the SEZ presents a compelling proposition for Singapore firms aiming to reduce costs, while retaining access to the Republic’s markets and infrastructure.
