, together with the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), would transform Johor Bahru’s landscape and boost its economic potential within the next year.
“I am confident that Johor Bahru will see a major transformation within the next 12 months, not only because of the JS-SEZ but also due to the RTS Link project.
“Once it is operational, about 10,000 people will be able to cross the border every hour using the RTS. This means more visitors and tourists will be coming into Johor Bahru, and Little India must become one of the key attractions,” he said when officiating the Deepavali Bazaar in Little India on the night of Oct 12.
