Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone set to transform all 10 Johor districts, says Onn Hafiz


KLUANG: The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) will not only benefit Johor Baru but also other districts like Kluang, says Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

The Johor Mentri Besar stated that the rapid and ongoing developments indicate that the JS-SEZ will benefit all 10 districts of the state.

“Do not think that the benefits of the JS-SEZ will only be concentrated in the Johor Baru area.

“All 10 districts in Johor stand to benefit from it because of all the ongoing developments taking place throughout the state, such as transportation infrastructure, housing projects and tourism,” he said before launching the Majestic Johor X Renggam Fiesta at the Renggam TMIYC here on Sunday (July 6).

Onn Hafiz said the double-track rail system, which is expected to be fully operational by the end of this year, and the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link, which was expected to begin operating on January 1, 2027, are projects that would shorten people’s travel time.

He also pointed out that the completion of the projects could help elevate towns like Layang-Layang, Renggam, and Kluang into satellite towns to Johor Baru.
