Singapore-Malaysia meeting on Johor economic cooperation takes place after 4-year gap


JMCIM noted the progress made by six bilateral work groups covering areas spanning industrial cooperation, environment, tourism, iconic projects, immigration and transportation links.

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): An annual platform for Singapore and Malaysia to review cooperation in the South Johor economic zone of Iskandar convened virtually on Tuesday (Dec 21) after a four-year hiatus.

The Malaysia-Singapore Joint Ministerial Committee for Iskandar Malaysia (JMCIM) met for the first time since 2017, with a 2019 gathering postponed due to the unsanctioned intrusion by Johor's then chief minister into Singapore waters amid an ongoing territorial spat that began in late 2018.
