Malaysia and Singapore have joined hands to create a groundbreaking Special Economic Zone at their shared border, centered in Johor, Malaysia. This vast zone, almost five times larger than Singapore, is set to revolutionize cross-border trade and investment.

The initiative provides Singapore's businesses with much-needed space, access to affordable labor, and Malaysia’s workforce with opportunities linked to Singapore’s global connectivity.

Prime Ministers Anwar Ibrahim and Lawrence Wong hailed it as a "unique initiative" to boost competitiveness and attract investments, aiming for 50 projects and 20,000 skilled jobs within five years. With automated immigration lanes and paperless trade, this partnership promises seamless growth.
