JS-SEZ: Time to deliver

FOLLOWING up on the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Malaysia and Singapore to establish the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) in January last year, leaders of both nations have finally signed and sealed the agreement early this week.

Covering an area of 3,505 sq km, JS-SEZ is the second lease of life for Johor after the launch of Iskandar Malaysia (IM) back in 2006 when the government established the first economic zone covering an area of 2,300 sq km.
