He added that he and Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong are expected to launch the JS-SEZ master plan by the end of 2026.

What it means for buyers 对买家的意义

New investment brings jobs and people who need homes nearby. Together with the RTS Link, the JS-SEZ is one of the main reasons rental demand in Johor Bahru and Iskandar Puteri has stayed firm. The master plan should give more clarity on which areas will grow first.

新投资带来就业机会与人口，也带动周边住房需求。加上 RTS 轻轨，经济特区是新山及依斯干达公主城租赁需求保持稳定的主要原因之一。总体规划公布后，哪些地区会率先发展将更加明朗。
