KUALA LUMPUR: With the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) agreement to be finalised between the Malaysian and Singapore governments in September, the area is targeting to attract venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE)-driven industries.

That is what Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli revealed at the JS-SEZ investment forum here yesterday, and he is confident that details of the agreement could be featured at the Budget 2025 speech once the particulars are ironed out and approved by authorities of both countries.
