The Johor government is addressing rising food, transportation, and housing costs in Johor Baru through mitigation measures discussed in a recent meeting led by State Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee chairman Lee Ting Han. Key focuses include improving public transportation, expanding the Muafakat Johor bus network, and easing financial burdens. The rapid economic growth in Johor has raised concerns about affordability, particularly for the younger generation, prompting efforts to ensure they benefit from the growth and have access to promising careers. Rising costs are attributed to supply and demand dynamics. To tackle high rental rates, the government aims to accelerate affordable housing construction, increasing the target from 30,000 to 100,000 units by 2030. Further initiatives will be announced in the Johor Budget 2026 in November.
