SINGAPORE: Iskandar Malaysia, formerly known as Iskandar Development Region, is becoming a major success story for Malaysia, said Mark Mobius, executive chairman, Templeton Emerging Markets Group, Franklin Templeton.
“It is a good example of diligent planning and foresight on the part of the government.
“The area has now reached the ‘take-off’ point where developments will become self-generating and create a virtuous circle,” he told Bernama.
Singapore is the largest investor in Iskandar Malaysia.
Mobius, who was sharing his views on the election process, said the risks were minimal and as long as the close cooperation between Singapore and Malaysia continued, it would be a win-win situation for both countries.
Under the administration of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, bilateral ties between Malaysia and Singapore are now at an excellent stage.
This was proven during the Singapore-Malaysia Leaders’ Retreat in February where both Najib and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong reaffirmed their commitment to a stronger and mutually beneficial partnership.
Recognising that a dynamic and successful Iskandar Malaysia benefited both Malaysia and Singapore, the leaders agreed to intensify existing cooperation and explore new ways to leverage on the complementarities between Singapore and Iskandar Malaysia.
When asked on the current bilateral ties between Malaysia and Singapore, Yang Razali Kassim, a Senior Fellow, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies said, “I would say that Singapore-Malaysia ties are entering a new phase.
“It is clearly more warm and neighbourly, more constructive and more productive”.
