On 18 February 2025, the Invest Malaysia Facilitation Centre Johor (IMFC-J) officially opened in Forest City, Johor, to simplify and accelerate investment processes within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).

Officiated by HRH Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Regent of Johor, and attended by key leaders including Johor Menteri Besar YAB Dato’ Onn Hafiz Ghazi and MITI Minister YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, the launch reflects Johor’s ongoing transformation into a regional economic powerhouse.

With MIDA, IRDA, and Invest Johor working together under one roof, IMFC-J reduces bureaucratic hurdles and enhances investor confidence by serving as a single point of contact for project facilitation. MIDA CEO, Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim reaffirmed MIDA’s commitment to improving the ease of doing business, ensuring the JS-SEZ evolves into one of the region’s premier investment destinations.
