By Admin
Johor will become the first state to offer a premium starting salary from RM4,000 and RM5,000 to high-skilled workers through the Johor Talent Development Council (JTDC) that was launched on November 3.
Besides that, the Johor State government via the Johor Plantations Group Berhad (JPG) have signed a partnership with Japanese company Fuji Oil Asia Pte Ltd to set-up a palm oil and specialty fats refinery in the state. This partnership involves an initial development value of RM500 million.
The Johor state government also met 83 leading companies from South Korea to promote the setting up of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and potentially bring strategic investments worth approximately US$190 million to this state.
These new projects are expected to create more job opportunities for Johoreans in the coming years.
For everyone’s information, the Johor Grand Palace and the Sultan Ibrahim Building at Bukit Timbalan will be upgraded before being reopened to the public in an effort to increase the tourism value in Johor Bahru. Both the Sultan Ibrahim Building and Johor Grand Palace are rich in Johor history dating back to the 19th century.
His Royal Highness Tunku Ismail, The Regent of Johor
