The Nexus Sedenak project is set to significantly boost the economy of the southern region, according to Deputy Communications Minister and Kulai member of parliament Teo Nie Ching. The area's development should extend beyond data centers, with the flagship Nexus Sedenak program playing a crucial role. The 2027 Budget revealed plans for up to RM12 billion in investments, which are expected to create approximately 45,000 jobs.
Teo emphasized that the high-impact investments would enhance the quality of life and income levels for local residents, particularly through the development of inland port facilities. This would not only benefit the logistics industry in Kulai but also stimulate growth in the local supply chain. Teo also highlighted the importance of addressing basic infrastructure management to ensure the smooth functioning of the rapidly developing industrial area, including maintaining electricity and water supply.
Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced Nexus Sedenak as a new industrial hub in the northern JS-SEZ, backed by road upgrades and a regional logistics network. The 1,189.77ha site will integrate industrial, logistics, commercial, residential, and lifestyle components into a single development, transforming Ladang Air Manis in Sedenak into a regional-level industrial, logistics, and investment ecosystem. This will bolster Johor's economic growth and strengthen cross-border trade relations.
