How The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Can Be A Gamechanger

Malaysia and Singapore on Thursday signed an MOU on a new Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone to enhance economic cooperation, while also boosting the cross-border flow of goods and people as well as developing a framework that will lead to a full-fledged agreement.
