DPM Gan: Johor-Singapore SEZ sees S$5.5b in investments from Singapore firms

SINGAPORE — Deputy Prime Minister and Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong said Singapore-based companies have invested more than S$5.5 billion in Johor since the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) agreement was signed in January last year.

Speaking at the second JS-SEZ joint investment forum, DPM Gan said the zone has made significant progress, attracting interest across advanced manufacturing, logistics, green industries, and digital services.

He said both countries aim to anchor flagship projects that demonstrate how businesses can co-locate and expand seamlessly across the Causeway.

Gan noted that the SEZ strengthens regional cooperation amid global trade uncertainty, calling it “a model of partnership over protectionism.”

The joint project office in Singapore and its Malaysian counterpart have received over 1,000 investment enquiries since the pact’s signing, reflecting growing investor confidence.
