As Johor votes, investors watch for continuity in cross-border growth push
Key question is whether the next administration can keep momentum for JS-SEZ and other projects
[KUALA LUMPUR] Johor voters head to the polls this Saturday (Jul 11) in a high-stakes state election that analysts and industry players say is unlikely to slow the southern state’s Malaysia-Singapore growth pact.
However, it could shape the stability and execution momentum behind them.
At the centre of those growth plans is the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), Rapid Transit System Link, and a wave of investments and infrastructure projects that have made Johor a central pillar of one of South-east Asia’s most ambitious bilateral growth corridors.
