Launch of Digital Johor Masterplan 2030 and leadership of TMJ as incoming Sultan No-nonsense, results oriented leadership style could make the difference There is a digital reboot going on in Johor, the southern Malaysian state that is a short causeway ride away from Singapore, which many observers on both sides of the causeway, believe, can do a lot more to tap the synergies between land constrained but economically vibrant Singapore and land blessed Johor that enjoys top class infrastructure.

That impatientness will do the state good as its digital reboot efforts, led by Pricewaterhouse Coopers Malaysia, comes on the back of an earlier effort that has failed to achieve the desired impact. In 2017, a state owned company, Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor Sdn Bhd launched Digital Johor Sdn Bhd to spearhead the state’s ambition to be a more digitally savvy state and destination for tech-based FDI.
While TMJ has to direct and day to day role in the running of the state government machinery, as the Johor Civil Service is directly employed by the state government, with the Chief Minister as its head, the ultimate authority in the state government is the Sultan and observers expect TMJ to be a keen and engaged party in the progress of the State’s attempt to recharge its digital ambitions.
The ambitious goal is to find a niche for Johor to work with the E&E cluster in Penang, where CREST is based, and Singapore and other parts of the region. “We will open up doors for them to talk to the right people and get the right advice,” said Jaffri.
Referring to the recent news that Singapore’s Changi Airport will allow travellers to leave the country with a biometric based solution that does not need travellers to show their passports, Manoj says, “Imagine if Johor can implement a biometric based system that allows for frictionless travel between Johor and Singapore and vice-versa. Immense opportunities for Malaysia and Singapore will be enjoyed if this can be pulled off,” he enthuses.
