French visit to yield RM4bil in potential investments, says Miti
Investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said the mission's overall success reflects the foreign companies' continued confidence in Malaysia's investor-friendly policies. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia is expected to reap RM4 billion in potential investments and RM675 million in potential exports following the trade and investment mission to France led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on July 4. In a statement today, the investment, trade and industry ministry said Anwar met 40 representatives from France's industrial sector, with several companies expressing intention to invest in high-tech manufacturing, aerospace, renewable energy, tourism and hospitality, digital economy and sustainable infrastructure. 'As for potential exports, RM675 million was generated for high-impact sectors such as aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, digital economy, lifestyle and halal industries. 'These are sectors targeted under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) and the Green Investment Strategy,' it said. Miti said several companies also shared their intention to continue investing in Malaysia, driven by key factors such as a conducive, stable and dynamic investment ecosystem; encouraging global demand for Malaysian-made products; efficient domestic supply chains; a highly skilled workforce; and investor-friendly government policies. The delegation included the minister, Tengku Zafrul Aziz, and representatives from the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) and Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade). Tengku Zafrul said the mission's overall success reflected the foreign companies' continued confidence in Malaysia's investor-friendly policies, supply chain ecosystem, competitiveness and economic growth potential. 'The investment and trade potential to be realised will also provide business opportunities for local companies, including small and medium enterprises, and more high-paying jobs for Malaysians. 'All these are key in driving our economic transformation agenda,' he said.

Johor-Singapore SEZ to drive growth beyond Johor Baru, says MB, with Kluang eyed as key satellite city
KLUANG, July 6 — The development of the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is expected to benefit not only areas surrounding Johor Baru but also be felt across all 10 districts in the state, said Johor Chief Minister Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi. He said the initiative would lead to the emergence of more satellite towns, ensuring that no district is left behind in terms of infrastructure and progress. In addition to driving economic growth, JS-SEZ would also serve as a catalyst for the tourism sector, positioning Johor as a major destination, he noted. The state government, he said, would seize the opportunity to promote attractions throughout Johor in conjunction with the upcoming Visit Johor Year. 'Bit by bit, areas surrounding JS-SEZ are beginning to experience the spillover effects of development. For example, the areas of Simpang Renggam and Renggam in Kluang are already seeing its impact. This progress will gradually expand to other districts. 'If Seremban is known as a satellite city to the Klang Valley, we expect Kluang to become one of the main satellite cities as a result of the JS–SEZ development,' he said at the launch of the Majestic Johor x Renggam Fiesta at Tunku Mahkota Ismail Youth Centre (TMIYC) Renggam today. The JS-SEZ covers major development zones such as Iskandar Malaysia, Forest City, the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex, and Desaru, with a total land area of approximately 357,128 hectares. The Iskandar Malaysia region also includes strategic areas such as Johor Bahru City Centre, Iskandar Puteri, Tanjung Pelepas — Tanjung Bin, Pasir Gudang, Senai — Skudai, and Sedenak. Further commenting, Onn Hafiz said that rapid development in the transport sector would also support connections between districts and the JS-SEZ, including the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link Project and the Gemas-Johor Bahru Double Track Electrified Project. 'All these projects will enhance connectivity between Johor's districts and the key areas within the JS–SEZ, and the development will be carried out in phases,' he added. — Bernama

Selangor to enforce ‘No Plastic Bag Day' across all 12 local councils by early 2026
KLANG, July 6 — The Selangor government is in the final phase of amending the relevant by-laws to standardise the implementation of the No Plastic Bag Day initiative across all 12 local authorities (PBTs) in the state. State Public Health and Environment Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said the move was part of a three-pronged approach to systematically and comprehensively address the plastic pollution in the state. 'The amendment process is expected to be completed this year, with wider enforcement of the No Plastic Bag Day to begin early next year,' she said in her speech during the Plastic Free Campaign Series 2 2025, officiated by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari here today. Jamaliah said the state government would forge strategic partnerships with various parties to ensure the success of the plastic-free campaign. 'For example, present with us today are various parties who play an important role in tackling plastic pollution through awareness initiatives, recycling innovations, upcycling efforts and the provision of environmentally friendly alternatives, thereby supporting a sustainable and plastic-free lifestyle,' she said. Meanwhile, Jamaliah said the state government would continue to strengthen efforts to promote a plastic-free and environmentally friendly lifestyle through initiatives at the PBT level, as well as collaborations with schools and educational institutions in Selangor. 'Recognising that many parties in the state are actively working to reduce plastic use, the portal, which is currently being updated, will serve as a platform to bring together strategic partners and coordinate participation in the plastic-free campaign. 'Through this platform, organisers such as PBTs and schools can collaborate with non-governmental organisations, companies, social entrepreneurs and local communities, thereby encouraging the sharing of information, ideas and resources towards making a plastic-free lifestyle a daily practice among the people of Selangor,' she said. On the campaign, Jamaliah said the programme, which was first held in Sepang in May, was carried out without the use of plastic, relying instead on environmentally friendly and reusable materials to raise participants' awareness of the importance of caring for the environment. 'We will move to the next location, Sabak Bernam, on August 23 with the same spirit, a determination to break free from plastic dependence, and a commitment to a cleaner environment and to fostering a plastic-free lifestyle,' she said. — Bernama
