JOHOR BARU, Aug 27 ― The Kulai Iskandar Data Exchange in Sedenak, which is expected to attract investments worth RM17.5 billion, is seen as being able to catalyse Johor’s economy, which has been hit by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

He said the development is also in line with Johor’s aim of bringing in more high-impact investments to the state this year. “We want a highly viable technology development project, because to revitalise an economy that has been hit hard, skilled jobs are needed, and the project could also open up opportunities for Technical and Vocational Training graduates,” he told reporters here today.
