The digital economy is one of the proposed sectors of focus for the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), says state executive councillor Lee Ting Han. The Johor investment, trade, consumer affairs and human resources committee chairman said the state government had a few meetings with the relevant government agencies regarding the JS-SEZ.
Lee said that the digital economy was a sector proposed because Singapore has certain advantages in the region being a regional centre of connectivity in terms of data, digital economy and cyber-related matters. Johor is located next to Singapore and has the natural resources, talents and necessary ingredients to support and complement whatever the city-state has at the moment.
