MUAR, June 30 (Bernama) — The development of mega infrastructure projects in Johor to match regional growth, including that of neighbouring Singapore, requires close coordination between the state and Federal Governments to ensure the smooth implementation and allocation of billions of ringgit in investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said alignment between both levels of administration is crucial, as major components of Johor\u2019s transportation, logistics and border infrastructure fall under the direct jurisdiction of the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said strong cooperation between Putrajaya and Johor would serve as a key catalyst for delivering large-scale development projects that ultimately benefit the people of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe railway system, roads, border facilities and immigration all fall under federal government jurisdiction. That is why Johor\u2019s administration needs to move in tandem with the federal government so that development can be implemented more smoothly and harmoniously,\u201d he told Bernama here last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Mohamad accompanied Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Simpang Jeram state seat, Nazri Abd Rahman, to a voter engagement session at the Gemilang Bakri Commercial Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on the four-cornered contest in Simpang Jeram, Mohamad expressed confidence in the political maturity of local voters, saying they tend to support coalitions viewed as capable of forming a stable government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am confident that regardless of the number of candidates contesting, voters will prioritise parties that are seen as capable of securing a governing majority,\u201d he said, while expressing optimism that PH could maintain its momentum in the mixed constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that achieving victory in constituencies with diverse demographics depends on candidates\u2019 ability to gain broad-based support across communities while preserving the agenda of unity and inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcoming the positive response from rural communities, Mohamad also called on PH machinery across Johor to intensify campaign efforts ahead of polling day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He described the encouraging reception towards grassroots engagement programmes and public outreach activities as a positive indication of continued support for political stability in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
