Growing interest from the republic


ISKANDAR Regional Development Authority (Irda) CEO Ismail Ibrahim says Iskandar Malaysia is “blessed with the recent interest from Singapore” and that efforts to attract investments from the city will be intensified.

This will especially be in high value industries such as high-tech and aerospace industries looking for expansion opportunities. One of the efforts currently pursued is setting up of a Singapore Industrial/SME Park in Iskandar Malaysia, he said in an email interview. Iskandar’s focus will continue to be on manufacturing while special focus will be given to creative, tourism, oil and gas and education sectors.
