I’m writing these articles assuming that you, my readers, are already aware of what and where is Iskandar Malaysia. In short, it is a special economic zone drawn out from the state of Johor and it comprises 5 flagship zones.
In recent years, the Malaysian government has also embarked on various Economic Transformation Projects - these key projects are aimed at raising Malaysia's GDP per capita in the longer term. The Iskandar Development Region is one of these Economic Transformation Projects.
If you do need more background information on Iskandar Development Region, please feedback to me. If I do see sufficient interest in this area, I will be glad to give a quick summary or point you to the right places to get more information.
