JOHOR BAHRU — The launch of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) Masterplan and Investment Blueprint, originally scheduled for 30 March 2026, has been postponed following a Cabinet meeting chaired by Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
According to the Ministry of Economy, the Investment Blueprint and Masterplan are still being finalised. The documents will outline the overall development strategy, investment direction, and implementation framework for the JS-SEZ.
No new launch date has been announced at this stage.
The JS-SEZ initiative involves cooperation between Johor and Singapore, aiming to strengthen cross-border economic integration and attract high-value investments.
Despite the postponement, the government reiterated that the key objectives of the JS-SEZ remain unchanged, including positioning Johor as a regional economic and innovation hub, targeting RM260 billion in GDP contribution by 2030, and creating over 20,000 high-skilled jobs.
Officials said the delay is due to ongoing final refinements of the masterplan before its official release.
