JOHOR BAHRU:

 Investors in Johor can expect “tailor-made” solutions, especially for investments in the Johor-Singapore special economic zone, an adviser to the state government said today.

Hasni Mohammad, the state economic and investment adviser, said the approach includes matters such as labour requirements or the need for skilled talent.

“We customise to meet each investor’s request – how many people and what areas of expertise are required. We do this, for example, through the Johor talent development council,” he said after a Hari Raya celebration with orphans here today.

Hasni, a former menteri besar of Johor, said the state government collaborates with the agencies to support the investors’ requirements.

He said the implementation of the special economic zone has enabled Malaysia, and Johor in particular, to become a strong economic partner with Singapore, which has strengths in expertise, while Johor has vast land and a much larger workforce. - FMT
