According to JT Automation Technology group chairman Wu Si Yuan, the company sees Johor as a gateway to Southeast Asia. “The JS‑SEZ provides a platform for us to scale our presence, optimise cross‑border operations and enhance supply chain resilience as we support our long‑term growth across the region,” he tells The Edge Singapore.
Two investor commitments totalling RM1 billion ($322.5 million) were announced on April 20 at the UOB-Invest Johor JS-SEZ Strategic Forum 2026, suggesting that the postponement of the rollout of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) roadmap and blueprint has not affected investor sentiment.
The two commitments were facilitated by United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Green Lane with Invest Johor, with GSP Automotive Malaysia and Paragon Globe providing a joint commitment, while the other was from JT Automation Technology.
