Johor's economy in 2024 is a whirlwind of excitement and ambition, with groundbreaking initiatives propelling it towards becoming a developed state by 2030.
The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ) agreement, signed in January, promises innovations like passport-free travel and eco-friendly ventures. With a target to double its GDP to RM260 billion, Johor aims for a steep growth rate of 7.8% annually.
Recent discussions between Johor's Chief Minister and key stakeholders in Singapore hint at a united front to attract quality investments swiftly. Johor has been bustling with diverse investments spanning industries such as data centers, life sciences, and green technologies.
However, the real challenge lies in securing a skilled workforce to sustain this economic surge. Johor grapples with a brain drain crisis, impacting its labor force and economic potential. Recommendations from the Johor-Singapore SEZ Singapore Business Working Group shed light on the urgency to address this issue.
Drawing inspiration from Shenzhen's success, Johor can reverse brain drain by implementing strategic policies that attract and retain skilled workers. By fostering an innovative culture, Johor can pave the way for a dynamic economy and potentially mirror the success of Shenzhen as a hub of knowledge and high-tech industries.
Johor's journey towards becoming a developed state hinges on nurturing its talent pipeline, paving the way for a prosperous future and potential collaboration with Singapore to create "two economies and one ecosystem." The time is ripe for Johor to seize this opportunity and foster a thriving economy built on a foundation of skilled labor and innovation.
By fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, Johor can not only reverse brain drain but also pave the way for a prosperous future. With the right investment in talent and workforce development, Johor can achieve its dream of becoming a fully developed state by 2030, setting the stage for a dynamic and thriving economy.

Tropicana Corp Bhd (KL:TROP) is gearing up for a busy period in Johor, with plans to promote two master-planned developments in Johor Bahru and Gelang Patah. CEO Ong Chou Wen anticipates a positive trend in Johor's property market over the next five years due to increasing demand in the state.
The establishment of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone and Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link has made Johor a property hotspot. The demand index for Johor properties has risen to 17%, aligning with the National Property Information Centre’s report showing a decrease in unsold properties.
To cater to this demand, Tropicana is introducing two major projects: the 163-acre Lido Waterfront Boulevard in Johor Bahru and the 314-acre Tropicana Uplands in Gelang Patah.
Lido Waterfront Boulevard, a RM34 billion development, offers various amenities and unique ownership opportunities due to its location near Singapore. The first project, The Watermark, will feature 1,596 units and is set to launch in September.
Tropicana Uplands, located west of Johor Bahru, is a sprawling township with residential and commercial components. Fraser Heights, the next project in the township, offers premium linked houses and emphasizes green living and connectivity.
Looking ahead, Tropicana aims to differentiate itself by providing AI-oriented homes to enhance convenience and meet market demands. Additionally, the company plans to venture into the industrial sector with the T Industrial Park (TIP) project in Gelang Patah, focusing on light and medium industries across multiple phases.

The Johor government is making strides towards integrating the Forest City Special Financial Zone (SFZ) into the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), signaling a strategic move towards economic growth and development.
Chairman Lee Ting Han of Johor's Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs, and Human Resources committee revealed plans for the SFZ's inclusion within the JS-SEZ following internal discussions. The proposal, set to be presented to the JS-SEZ working committee, highlights the potential for enhanced collaboration and economic synergy.
With a focus on transforming Forest City into a dynamic hub for medical, tourism, education, and real estate sectors, the SFZ initiative holds promising prospects. The recent establishment of Forest City Island One as a duty-free zone, supported by the government, underscores the commitment to fostering economic growth and attracting investors.
Lee emphasized Forest City's strategic location and alignment with the master plan, positioning it as an ideal choice for the SFZ. The incorporation of the financial sector within Forest City's development, coupled with its proximity to Singapore's financial and logistics hub, presents a unique opportunity for growth and collaboration.
Anticipating the integration of advanced banking, capital, and bond products, the initiative aims to elevate Johor's financial industry and establish a new chapter in the region's economic landscape. The forthcoming SFZ incentives announcement in August is poised to pave the way for enhanced cooperation and investment opportunities.
As preparations continue for the JS-SEZ agreement between Malaysia and Singapore, the proposal to integrate Forest City SFZ within the framework underscores a commitment to formalize collaboration and drive concrete outcomes. The potential for financial investors from Singapore to expand their operations into Forest City further solidifies the region's appeal as a hub for international financial products.
With keen interest from domestic and international financial institutions, Forest City is poised to emerge as a strategic platform for launching financial products into global markets. The forthcoming details on SFZ incentives are set to unlock new possibilities and propel Johor's financial sector towards a path of innovation and growth.
