Malaysia and Singapore Set to Establish Massive Economic Zone

Johor aims to transform into the 'Shenzhen of Southeast Asia' through a proposed economic collaboration with Singapore.

The planned Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone will cover over 3,500 sq km, nearly twice the size of Shenzhen.
Both governments agreed to initiate the zone in January, with formal agreements expected by year-end.
The zone will include diverse sectors such as electronics, manufacturing, healthcare, and tourism.
Strategic areas include Iskandar Malaysia and the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex.
Johor's chief minister highlighted the geographical and economic parallels with the Shenzhen-Hong Kong model.
