Right Business: A new era of supply chain transparency

After many years of delays, Malaysia and Singapore have signed a deal to establish the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).

This comes as the two nations seek to develop a new economic growth area centered on one of the busiest land crossings in the world.

Modelled after China’s Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the JS-SEZ will provide tax breaks and ease the transit of goods and people between Johor and Singapore, which are separated by a 1km causeway.

The target of this agreement is to hit 100 projects in the first 10 years, creating 20,000 skilled jobs for people on both sides of the Causeway.

Is this an achievable target? What benefits will this SEZ bring to both nations? 

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Sumit Agarwal, Low Tuck Kwong Distinguished Professor of Finance at the Business School and a Professor of Economics and Real Estate at the National University of Singapore to find out.

Singapore shares started trading in positive territory this morning, even as global markets ended the previous day mixed.

The Straits Times Index (STI) opened 0.2 per cent higher at 3,836.94 points after 28.1 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Centurion, after the accommodation assets operator said yesterday that it is exploring the establishment of a real estate investment trust (Reit) comprising some of its workers and student accommodation assets. 

Elsewhere, from Micron investing US$7 billion in Woodlands advanced packaging site, to Samsung Q4 profit outlook missing estimates by a large margin, more corporate and international headlines remain in focus.

Joke crypto Fartcoin started as a parody, and now it is on a tear. Fartcoin’s market cap of nearly $800 million now exceeds that of several well-known brands. The memecoin has even surpassed Dogecoin’s all-time highs and blown fellow memecoin Shiba Inu completely out of the water.

What exactly is Fartcoin, and why is it surging?
