The
Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) will not benefit only Johor
Bahru but also other districts like Kluang, said the state’s Menteri Besar Onn
Hafiz Ghazi.
He stated that
the rapid and ongoing developments indicate that the zone will boost
all 10 districts of the state.
“Do not think
that the benefits of the JS-SEZ will only be concentrated in the Johor Bahru
area. All 10 districts in Johor stand to benefit... because of all the ongoing
developments taking place throughout the state, such as transportation
infrastructure, housing projects and tourism,” he noted at a community event in
Renggam on July 6.
He said a
double-track rail system, expected to be fully operational by end 2025,
and Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link, projected to begin
running on Jan 1, 2027, would shorten travel time.
He pointed out
that the completion of the projects could help elevate places like
Layang-Layang, Renggam and Kluang into satellite towns of Johor Bahru.
