ISKANDAR PUTERI - The Johor state government is planning to set up the Johor Investment Company in Singapore soon in an effort to boost bilateral relationships with its neighbour across the Causeway.
"We have brought forward our intention in setting up Jico in Singapore to Wisma Putra, the International Trade and Industry Ministry and to the Malaysian high commissioner there. On the state government's plan to review and strengthen the Singapore-Johor-Indonesia growth triangle, Datuk Hasni said he has already informed Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, whom he said supported the idea.
Sijori was launched in December 1989 and is a tripartite agreement between Singapore, Johor and Riau that seeks to exploit the competitive strengths of the three areas, and make the sub-region attractive to regional and international investors.
