JOHOR BARU: A total of 1,000 job opportunities are expected to be offered by Wiwynn Technology Service Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Wiwynn) by the end of this year, says Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

The Johor Mentri Besar said that nearly 80% of the employees are going to be local, especially from Johor.

“This was shared by Wiwynn during my visit to their factory in Senai Airport City.

“Wiwynn is a company that provides cloud IT infrastructure and successfully recorded a profit of US$7.8bil (RM36.7bil) in 2023.

“The company premises cover 12ha and have developed over two phases,” he said in a statement on his Facebook page, here, on Tuesday (July 9).

Onn Hafiz added that Phase 1 is a server rack integration factory, and Phase 2, which is currently 81% completed, is a server printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) factory.

“I am also delighted that Senai Airport City continues to excel, having successfully attracted 150 investors, with a total investment value of RM7.5bil, and creating 28,000 job opportunities.

“Several large companies, including Wiwynn, have invested in Senai Airport City, such as Hershey, Mercedes-Benz, DHL, Dyson, FedEx, Haitian, Fiffy, Supermicro, and many more,” he added.

All this proves that Johor is capable of attracting investors, with increased job opportunities and competitive salaries awaiting the people of Johor, he said.

“This will enhance the socioeconomic status of the local community, besides stimulating sustainable economic activities in Johor.

"With the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) policy that will further boost the state's economic sector, I hope that the economic benefits will be felt by all the people of Johor and will be able to improve the standard of living of the people,” said Onn Hafiz.
