Be well informed - These are our ministers' view about our rapidly developing neighbour, Iskandar Malaysia;

1) PM Lee Hsien Loong said, "Singapore sees it very much in our interests that Iskandar Malaysia prospers and succeeds. It has been doing well, it has attracted many investments. But most importantly, I think if we can develop the linkage between Singapore and Iskandar, we will be able to have benefits to both sides." http://www.ura.gov.sg/pr/newscontent/news/2012/TODAY_06Jan12(pg1).pdf

2) Senior Minister of State for Trade & Industry Lee Yi Shyan said, "Both Malaysia and Singapore will have a bigger pie to share collectively if there is seamless integration between the two economies. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/johor-s-pore-firms-can-complement-one-an/684634.html

3) Minister for Trade and Industry Mr Lim Hng Kiang said, "I encourage you to continue to capitalise on the comparative advantages in each country by integrating business or manufacturing processes across the borders. In particular, the close proximity between Iskandar Malaysia and Singapore means that managing such integrated processes can be faster and easier. This is a valuable proposition that should be exploited. Looking ahead into the future, with the right match of industries and connectivity for goods and people further enhanced, Iskandar Malaysia and Singapore could well have the potential to develop into a “seamless” economic space some day. http://www.news.gov.sg/public/sgpc/en/media_releases/agencies/mti/speech/S-20111124-1.html

4) Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said, "Iskandar is a 'nice complementary space' for businesses." http://www.asiaone.com/A1Business/News/Story/A1Story20121205-387784.html

中国—新加坡苏州工业园区 is base on Singapore model and succeed.

Iskandar will more or less base on Singapore model if it want to succeed too.

And for politicians on both side; it is like scratching each other back.

Spore has learnt a bitter lesson from its suzhou investment park. it will attempt again to create "Little Spore" across the causeway, hence the investment by Temasek, Capitaland etc

Behind those poltiically correct public statements, the ministers may be secretly wishing Iskandar will flop so Sg will not lose the MNC investments. If the investments go, GDP growth to which their KPIs are tied may be affected
