KULAI, Nov 9 (Bernama) -- The high-impact Nexus Sedenak project will become a primary growth catalyst for the southern region’s economy as one of the new industrial and logistics hubs under the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).
KULAI: Deputy Minister of Communications and Kulai Member of Parliament Teo Nie Ching highlighted the Nexus Sedenak project as a significant growth catalyst for the southern region's economy. She emphasized that development should extend beyond data centers to include the flagship Nexus Sedenak programme, which is expected to attract investments of up to RM12 billion and create 45,000 job opportunities, as reported by Bernama.
Teo also mentioned plans to develop inland port facilities, which will bolster the logistics industry in Kulai and stimulate local supply chain growth. The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, confirmed that Nexus Sedenak will become a new industrial hub in the northern JS-SEZ, backed by road upgrades and a regional logistics network.
Additionally, Invest Johor's CEO, Natazha Hariss, identified five key sectors for the project's development: advanced manufacturing, integrated logistics, agri-food technology, green technology, and pharmaceuticals. The 2,940-acre site aims to create a regional-level industrial, logistics, and investment ecosystem, transforming Ladang Air Manis in Sedenak into a thriving cross-border trade hub.
