“My time here is temporary, and there will eventually be another minister of economy to replace me,” he said. “The last thing we need is for all the momentum, attention, and excitement to go to waste.”
The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), as a bilateral initiative, must transcend political cycles, Minister of Economy Datuk Seri Mohd Rafizi Ramli said on Monday.
The JS-SEZ must “never depend on the sitting administration of the day, or the whims and desires of individual politicians”, Rafizi said in his keynote address at the JS-SEZ Partners Dialogue: Advancing Facilitation event. The zone will continue to be a national priority in the coming years, he said.
