JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia — Malaysia and Singapore are accelerating the rollout of their new joint special economic zone in a bid to hedge against rising global trade uncertainty under U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.
Malaysia’s Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Zafrul Aziz said earlier this week that the need for the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and the economic interlinkage between the two Southeast Asian neighbors are now more crucial than before.
