ISKANDAR PUTERI, April 30 (Bernama) -- The Regent of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, has expressed pride in Johor’s achievements, which recorded strong performance over the past four years, including attracting RM272 billion in investments.

In his opening decree at the fifth session of the 15th Johor State Legislative Assembly at Bangunan Sultan Ismail, Kota Iskandar here today, His Royal Highness said the achievements include Johor recording RM110 billion in investments in 2025.

This is a historical high and the highest ever achieved by any state in Malaysia.

Tunku Mahkota Ismail said this has indirectly created more than 80,000 job opportunities for Bangsa Johor and Malaysians.

“I have also been informed that state revenue continues to rise to reach RM2.68 billion in 2025. This reflects strong economic fundamentals and the state government’s efficiency in managing resources and revenue effectively.

“This success is driven by the implementation of strategic initiatives such as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), which serves as a key catalyst for investor confidence and overall economic growth,” His Royal Highness said.

Tunku Mahkota Ismail said these achievements indicate that Johor is on the right track to becoming a model state.

He also expressed hope that this momentum will continue to strengthen so that Johor will not only progress, but also emerge as a leading, competitive and respected model state at the national and regional levels.

“Since the beginning of my appointment as Regent of Johor, I have emphasised that my priorities are to strengthen the economy, safeguard the welfare of the people, improve the quality of education, enhance infrastructure and empower the healthcare system,” he said.

He added that these priorities are set to ensure that the people of Johor can enjoy a better, more stable and secure quality of life.
