Invest Johor hosts SEDCO Sabah delegation for JS-SEZ briefing and investment facilitation knowledge exchange

In Johor Bharu, Invest Johor and the Investment Malaysia Facilitation Centre Johor (IMFC-J) hosted a delegation from the Sabah Economic Development Corporation (SEDCO) for an exchange session centered on investment facilitation and economic development. This inter-state meeting aimed to bolster Sabah's investment competitiveness.

IMFC-J Senior Vice President Adny Jaffedon Ahmad delivered a presentation highlighting the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), detailing its strategic opportunities and the IMFC-J's support for investor engagement and facilitation efforts.

The session delved into Johor's impressive investment performance, showcasing what has contributed to the state's rise as one of Malaysia's leading investment destinations, providing a platform for dialogue between Johor and Sabah on attracting and maintaining quality investment. Invest Johor CEO Tuan Haji Natazha bin Hariss had a direct meeting with the SEDCO delegation, further strengthening the inter-agency collaboration between the two states.

This visit aligns with a wider trend of Malaysian states observing Johor's investment facilitation model, which is built upon the JS-SEZ framework, IMFC-J's comprehensive one-stop facilitation approach, and Johor's proven track record of approving RM110 billion (S$34.49 billion) in investments in 2025. For Johor, welcoming peer learning visits from other Malaysian economic development bodies enhances its leadership status in attracting investment and developing economic ecosystems.
