Chairman’s Statement

Chairman

As Chairman of the Group, it is my great privilege to share our continued journey of growth, resilience and transformation across the strategic sectors that define Johor’s future.

In an increasingly dynamic business environment, the Group remains steadfast in its commitment towards creating sustainable value, strengthening strategic capabilities and contributing meaningfully towards regional economic development. Guided by a clear vision and strong corporate values, we continue to position ourselves as a progressive and future-ready organization driven by innovation, operational excellence and long-term sustainability.

The establishment of Johor Bahru Integrated Sdn. Bhd. (JBI) reflects the Group’s strategic commitment towards supporting regional economic growth and strengthening Johor’s position as a key gateway within the emerging Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. As regional connectivity and cross-border economic activities continue to expand, JBI plays an important role in facilitating integrated trade, logistics and maritime-related services that contribute towards enhancing economic competitiveness and investment opportunities within the region.

Through its involvement in ferry terminal operations, coastal and barter trade logistics, ship-to-ship activities, bonded warehousing and digital infrastructure integration, JBI continues to strengthen its role within the maritime and logistics ecosystem while supporting Johor’s aspiration of becoming a leading regional economic and logistics hub.

Our success is built upon a strong foundation of trust, professionalism and collaboration. We firmly believe that sustainable growth can only be achieved through responsible business practices, corporate governance and meaningful stakeholder engagement. As such, we remain committed to upholding the highest standards of accountability, transparency and ethical leadership across all levels of the organization.

As we move forward, we will continue prioritising strategic investments, digital transformation and human capital development to ensure the JBI Group remains competitive and relevant in an ever-evolving market environment. By embracing innovation and strengthening strategic partnerships, we remain confident in our ability to capture new opportunities and accelerate the Group’s growth trajectory in the years ahead.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our shareholders, clients, business partners, regulatory authorities and stakeholders for their continuous trust and support. Together, we will continue shaping a resilient, progressive and sustainable organization that delivers meaningful impact and long-term value for future generations.
