Pushing for economic growth

Lee (standing) says Johor will focus on tourism and healthcare as more and more Indonesians are travelling to the state for medical treatment.

STRENGTHENING the Singapore-Johor-Riau (Sijori) economic growth triangle will help boost trade, cultural and tourism sectors while attracting more investors to the region.

Johor investment, trade and consumer affairs committee chairman Lee Ting Han said the Sijori initiative would allow the countries involved to leverage each other’s strengths and give investors confidence that the players were not in a head-to-head situation.
