KLUANG, Jan 4 — The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) Agreement is expected to be signed this Monday (Jan 6), said Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

He said the signing of the agreement is expected to significantly impact Johor’s economy, particularly in sectors such as the halal industry and tourism, while also transforming the national economic landscape.


The Johor Menteri Besar said it would create promising economic opportunities and facilitate daily commuting for residents of Johor and Singapore.

“It is not just the people of Johor Bahru who will benefit, it is Johor and even Malaysia as a whole that will receive various benefits...economic, tourism and so on, but the important question is whether we, the people of Johor, are ready for the opportunity that will change the country’s economy.


“This is because if we are not ready, others will take advantage,” he said when speaking at an Entrepreneurs’ Meeting in front of the Simpang Renggam District Council Site, here, today.


Previously, Anwar announced that the agreement on the JS-SEZ that was supposed to be signed with the Singapore government on Dec 9 had been postponed after the Singaporean Prime Minister was infected with Covid-19. — Bernama

From tis article can c alr. It benefits johor n Malaysia Oni.
When you have only 1 side keep talking about it, and the other side if no one talk about it then don’t even think of its existence … of course it’s obvious which side benefits only.

You look at the wordings, you find it weird?

Rather than an announcement from a unified voice. It sounds like the person is selling the idea to the whole Malaysia. Truth is Malaysia has no unity, Johor wants a closer relationship with Singapore. This doesn't mean that the other states have the same opinion.

Federal and other regions don't see the direct benefit to their pockets with some against it. Unless you can silent them with some kickbacks. Since the entire federal govt hold more votes, at anytime they may vote it down.

It just happens that the current king is the sultan of Johor and Anwar is eager to score points.

Anytime they will cite to protect the bumi rights, for security etc and prata.

That's exactly what happened not long ago, during last year. Their first mm2h revision had better terms and even had PR for platinum members. Now nerf till only sohais will take up. :)
