ISKANDAR PUTERI: Budget 2024 is expected to cater to the development of Greater Johor Baru, which will transform it into the second metropolitan city after the Klang Valley, says Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Liew Chin Tong.

The proximity to Singapore will also have a spillover impact for the state in terms of electric vehicle (EV) industries, making Johor a hub for EVs in the country, he added.
