  • Johor Port Ends 2020 on a High Note Despite Covid-19
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JOHOR PORT ENDS 2020 ON A HIGH NOTE DESPITE COVID-19 JOHOR BAHRU, 7 JANUARY 2021 – Johor Port Berhad (Johor Port), a member of MMC Group finished strong in 2020 by surpassing 1 Million Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEUs) amid the COVID- 19 pandemic. “We are very pleased to see that despite the headwinds of COVID-19 as well as shortage of empty Containers in Malaysia and other parts of the region which affected the overall Port business and related industry sectors, Johor Port still managed to progress its business efficaciously and surpassed the 1 Million mark for year 2020,” commented Md Derick bin Basir, Chief Executive Officer of Johor Port Berhad In the 1st Quarter of 2020, Johor Port had a remarkable performance with a YoY growth of 6%. However, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic had affected the Port’s business for three months consecutively. With the re-opening up of industries on 4 May 2020, export volume had regained back its momentum as manufacturers stepped up their production to meet the pre- Movement Control Order. In the context of Johor Port, the export and import volume have shown some improvement this year mainly due to the strong support of Gateway cargoes. The majority of the Gateway volume were derived from the production by major industry players. Johor Port had also managed to secure 4 new services in the year 2020 mainly to the Intra-Asia region. The Terminal also managed to entice Sealand to bring in a new service to cater for their short haul cargoes.

  • State-Owned Enterprise (SOE): the Role of SOE Entrepreneurship in Nation-Building Efforts, 1970-2014
    State-Owned Enterprise (SOE): The Role of SOE Entrepreneurship in Nation-Building Efforts, 1970-2014 Fary Akmal Osman Since the early twentieth century, the study of entrepreneurship has been inspired by the Schumpeterian concept of entrepreneurship as innovator as well as an agent of change in the economy. Many emerging economies, particularly in Asia, established state-owned enterprises (SOE) as a national development strategy. Today, many SOEs operate using a variety of approaches and play active roles, including as cross-border investors. There are several SOEs in Malaysia at the federal and local government levels. This paper analyses the reasons for these SOE’s outstanding performance, focusing on the relationship between SOEs and entrepreneurship, the role of SOEs in cultivating local entrepreneurs, the characteristics embedded in Johor Corporation (JCorp) and how entrepreneurship changed over time. As a state enterprise in Malaysia, JCorp adopted a unique business position and investment strategy to become a major global player in its core enterprises. This study reveals that JCorp acting as an SOE entrepreneur successfully built an organisation with more than 250 local companies in various business sectors and services incorporated under a single umbrella. There are 379 directors within the group and a total workforce of about 63,000 people. Tremendous efforts were made by the SOE to educate Malay entrepreneurs and professionals through the enhancement of knowledge and skills, networking, sharing of experience, and management expertise. Introduction This research is motivated by the common observation in many countries, and throughout Asia that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have performed poorly or failed to perform at all.

  • Mapping Land Use/ Cover Changes and Urbanization at Sub

Fauzi Greenovation Research Group (GRG), Research Alliance Resource Sustainability, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), 81310 UTM Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia [email protected] Land use/ cover (LULC) changes in Malaysia are drastic and have caused many environment problems. In Malaysia, LULC mapping often emphasized on municipal level and a few on state and national levels. While, mapping in detail level such as village scale is still in dearth. Hence, this study aims to map the LULC changes in a village scale at urban, suburb and rural areas of Muar. Latest available Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial data year 2010 were obtained from Department of Agriculture Muar. The processing methods mainly involve the operation of GIS and Google Earth. We calculated the percentage of urbanization for every sub-district and selected three plots to compare the LULC changes in year 2010 and 2015, a five years’ interval. Results showed that urban area, Bandar Maharani has changed slightly in term of overall LULC. For Sungai Terap, agricultural land has greatly declined because it was converted to barren land and open space for new housing, industrial areas and commodity’s plants.
