ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor’s recent investment mission to Shanghai has generated strong interest from global investors, with potential investments estimated at about RM10bil, says state investment, trade, consumer affairs and human resources committee chairman Lee Ting Han (pic).
He said the outcome reflected growing international confidence in Johor, particularly in the implementation of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone.
Lee said the delegation engaged with more than 150 high-potential global investors during the visit, involving business owners and top-level decision-makers across industries.
“From these sessions, 36 companies have expressed early commitments or strong interest to invest in Johor,” he said during the state assembly sitting at Bangunan Sultan Ismail in Kota Iskandar on Wednesday (May 6).
Lee was replying to Andrew Chen Kah Eng (PH-Stulang), who asked about the findings from the recent delegation to Shanghai.
He said the potential investments were concentrated in strategic sectors such as electrical and electronics, battery technology, aerospace, automotive and high-tech manufacturing.
Lee said the mission adopted a structured, ecosystem-driven approach instead of conventional investment promotion methods.
