Before we dwell deep in the area itself, it is good for us to know a bit of history behind the emergence of this place.
Iskandar Malaysia, or used to be known as Iskandar Development Region (Wilayah Pembangunan Iskandar), is a development corridor implemented in the southern part of Johor.
This corridor was announced by former and 5th Prime Minister, Tun Dato’ Seri Haji Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on 30th of July 2006.
At first, this corridor was named as South Johor Economic Region (Wilayah Ekonomi Johor Selatan, or SJER).
On November 4, 2006, the name changed to Iskandar Development Region (Wilayah Pembangunan Iskandar, or WPI), in conjunction with the name of Sultan Johor, the late Sultan Iskandar ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail.
On April 11, 2008, the name was changed again to Iskandar Malaysia.
Islander Malaysia will be the largest economic growth centre in the region. When it is completed, the location will be equal 2 and a half time size of Singapore.
The development is expected to complete on 2025. The development cost requires RM47 billion to generate 8% for the first 5 years.
Iskandar Malaysia covers an area of 2,216.3 square KM in South Johor, covering Johor Bahru, Senai – Kulai, Gelang Patah – Pontian, and Pasir Gudang – Tanjung Langsat.
