Malaysia: Johor Eyes To Lead In FDI, Strengthens JS-SEZ Framework

“Johor is committed to sustaining its position as a leading investment destination and to remain at the forefront of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, which reached RM110.1 billion in 2025, the highest among all states.”

“Efforts to enhance Johor-Singapore cross-border connectivity are also being accelerated under the JS-SEZ, including the QR code immigration clearance, digital cargo systems, and the upcoming Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link.”

“Hasni said the RTS Link, scheduled to commence in January 2027, is expected to carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour each direction, potentially transforming travel patterns across one of the world’s busiest land border crossings. It currently records about 300,000 daily travellers, including 100,000 motorcyclists.”

“On the industrial front, he said Johor currently hosts the largest number of data centres in Southeast Asia, and accounts for more than 50 per cent of the state’s total FDI last year.”
