With its strategic location next to Singapore, Johor Bahru has massive potential to transform into a thriving business center. There are many key factors that play a part in Johor’s development. Johor’s Forest City Special Financial Zone (SFZ) is one of the ambitious projects (and it was even included in Malaysia’s Budget 2025!) was designed to attract global businesses with tax incentives and a focus on sectors like tourism, real estate, and financial services.
Enter the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), a game-changing initiative to attract investment, reduce red tape, and streamline cross-border operations. The incentives are clear—lower costs, tax breaks, and a more business-friendly environment. But can JB truly harness its advantages to match Singapore’s success?
Despite its promise, the road ahead is full of hurdles. Connectivity remains a major bottleneck, with the daily traffic jams at border checkpoints creating a logistical nightmare. The Rapid Transit System (RTS) could help, but will it be enough to alleviate congestion and make JB more attractive to businesses?
