From undertaking sub-contracting works as an operator for limestone mines to becoming a key producer of high-grade iron ore concentrate – we’re going to take you though the ins and outs of SGX-listed Malaysian miner Southern Alliance Mining today. The story takes us back to 2001, with the incorporation of Southern Alliance Mining’s subsidiary Honest Sam. Then, the firm was primarily involved in subcontracting works for limestone mines in the Malaysian states of Pahang and Perak. Seven years later in 2008, the company obtained the right to become the mining operator of an open mine pit in Johor called the Chaah Mine. The mine pit allows for the exploration, extraction and processing of iron ore that could be used by pipe coating companies in the oil and gas industry to prevent corrosion in sub-sea pipes. Fast forward to today, Southern Alliance Mining not only offers iron ore for pipe coating. It also ventured into iron ore concentrates to diversify business risks, exporting them to markets such as China, before selling the rest to local steel mills in Malaysia. It currently has approximately 60,000 tonnes of iron ore concentrates, not including pipe coating materials, and has produced and sold a total 6.3 million tonnes of iron ore products between 2008 and July 2021. The firm recently also reported its earnings for the six months ended January. Revenue declined 23.8% on the year to about RM70.3 million amid weaker iron ore prices as well as slowing demand for China’s steel industry – so how concerned should we be about this? But what is perhaps more exciting about Southern Alliance Mining is how it is positioning itself for the future. For one thing, the firm had in April 2023 ventured into rare earth mining after inking two agreements to purchase stakes in iron absorption clay rare-earth mines in Malaysia. Again – what was the rationale behind the move, and how will the move bolster the firm from fluctuations in iron ore prices? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Lim Wei Hung, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of Southern Alliance Mining.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gonggong, sea cucumbers, and carpet anemones—just some of the treasures gleaned from Johor's seagrass meadows. Seagrass meadows are often overlooked in conservation plans, yet for coastal communities in Johor, they're essential. In this second episode of our two-part series on seagrass, we want to explore the connection between seagrass meadows and small-scale fishing communities in Johor with Associate Professor Dr Jillian Ooi, a marine ecologist from the University of Malaya. Dr Jillian is the co-author of a study that explored the seagrass-gleaning activities of communities in the Sungai Johor estuary, with a focus on Kampung Perigi Acheh. She joins us to discuss how these underwater grasslands support food security, livelihoods, and culture, especially for women.

Johoreans, in particular, might remember this event as a vital part of Chinese New Year festivities since 1870. What makes this festival unique is that while it began as a Chinese community event, it has grown to attract Malays and Indians, becoming an intercultural success.

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.

Shiyan Koh, Managing Partner of  Hustle Fund, and ​​Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Johor Special Economic Zone (SEZ): They explored the potential impact of the upcoming Johor-Singapore SEZ agreement, scheduled for signing in November. The SEZ, which is more than 4 times the size of Singapore, is seen as an opportunity to deepen economic ties between the two regions by leveraging Singapore's capital, technology, and skilled workforce alongside Johor's land and infrastructure. They noted regulatory challenges such as Johor's year-long permit approval process, which contrasts with quicker timelines in other Malaysian states like Selangor. Both emphasized that political cooperation across Malaysia's federal government, Singapore and Johor's state government & king would be essential to the SEZ's success, particularly in attracting multinational corporations (MNCs) and improving labor mobility across the border. 2. US Anti-China "Reverse CFIUS": The discussion covered the upcoming introduction of America's "reverse Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)" legislation, which restricts US citizens, entities and LPs from investing in Chinese funds or companies involved in sectors like artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and microchips. These measures are expected to reduce China VC investments as US LPs steer clear of the compliance risks associated any funds that invest into China-linked companies. Reverse CFIUS reflects a broader change in global capital flows, signaling the end of the globalization era that had previously driven much of the world's economic integration. This shift could redirect capital towards Southeast Asia, offering opportunities for local investors but also presenting serious challenges. 3. Regional Trade Diversification: They examined Southeast Asia's growing significance as part of the “China Plus One” strategy, where MNCs diversify operations beyond China due to rising trade tensions. The SEZ's strategic location and proximity to Singapore's financial and skilled labor markets could become a key hub for industries such as electronics and automotive manufacturing. They noted that improved infrastructure like direct international flights would enhance the region's connectivity and attractiveness for global businesses. They also underscored that seamless collaboration and regulatory improvements to streamline bureaucratic processes are critical to fully capitalizing on these emerging opportunities. Jeremy and Shiyan discussed several emerging topics including diabetic horses healthcare, Singapore's longevity, crypto and VC conferences and the challenges of maintaining balanced diplomatic and economic strategies amidst global policy shifts.

"Why invest in Singapore, when you can invest in the US?" Our guest expert counters this argument with facts and his opinion. Synopsis: Every third Monday of the month, senior columnist Ven Sreenivasan offers you an extra edge in managing your hard-earned money. In this episode, Ven hosts Thilan Wickramesinghe - regional head of research at Maybank Securities - to look at the investment outlook from our vantage point in Singapore, at the halfway mark of June, in 2024. This also comes against the backdrop of the new Prime Minister Lawrence Wong sworn in on May 15, taking over from Mr Lee Hsien Loong, now Senior Minister.

Malaisie: Forest City, «ville fantôme» en mutation ?

Reportage International

Forest City se situe dans l'État malaisien de Johor, juste à la frontière de Singapour. Si Singapour et la Malaisie sont parvenus à un accord de principe concernant une zone économique spéciale entre Johor et Singapour ce mois de janvier, la ville de Forest City reste encore pour l'instant très calme. De notre correspondante dans la région,Au crépuscule, les fenêtres éclairées sont peu nombreuses dans les tours résidentielles de Forest City. Habitée par seulement 9 000 personnes, sur une capacité d'accueil de 700 000, la ville est assez silencieuse.Sur la plage, ce Malaisien loue des vélos aux quelques passants. Pour lui, l'appellation de ville fantôme n'est pas tout à fait vraie.« Forest City grandit devient de plus en plus populaire », explique-t-il. « Parfois, on a des étrangers, notamment des Singapouriens qui viennent habiter ici. Après, il y a aussi des travailleurs, employés à Singapour, qui vivent ici aussi. C'est vrai que la ville est une cité fantôme, mais c'était surtout pendant le confinement ; c'est vrai, les gens sont partis... »Avec l'annonce d'une zone économique spéciale entre l'État malaisien de Johor et Singapour, ce Malaisien et sa collègue se veulent plutôt optimistes quant à l'avenir de la ville.La présence d'investisseurs étrangersDans les commerces qui longent le bord de plage : très peu de personnes se promènent. Certains locaux n'ont jamais été occupés. Des visiteurs viennent acheter de l'alcool, qui bénéficie ici d'une détaxe.Pour expliquer ce manque de vie, l'ancien gouvernement malaisien avait critiqué notamment des prix d'achat trop chers pour les Malaisiens en matière de logement. Cette agente immobilière rencontre surtout des investisseurs étrangers :« Je pense que 90 % des propriétaires viennent de Chine. La plupart ne résident pas ici. Ils sont en Chine, où ils ont leur propre business et leur propre travail là-bas », observe-t-elle. « Les gens viendront ici uniquement pour leur retraite, je pense, et puis ils utilisent leur appartement ici comme une résidence secondaire. »Puis, elle ajoute : « Je pense que les journaux malaisiens ont quand même expliqué que ça allait prendre du temps de dynamiser la ville, que le gouvernement allait mettre près de dix ans pour développer cet endroit comme il se doit : avec des banques, des écoles internationales, des hôpitaux Donc, avec un peu de chance, ici, on va avoir plus de gens ! »Un passage facilité à la frontière avec SingapourCette Malaisienne mise, elle aussi, sur la future zone économique spéciale qui englobera notamment Forest City. Parmi les mesures annoncées : un passage à la frontière facilité avec un QR code.Soubatira est vendeuse et habitante de Forest City. Son mari se déplace tous les jours à Singapour pour son travail. « D'habitude, si mon mari travaille le matin, il doit partir 3 heures en avance, ou peut-être deux », raconte-t-elle. « S'il travaille la nuit, il commence à 7 heures du soir, il part vers 4h45, 5h de l'après-midi S'il y a un contrôle plus rapide ou électronique, ça sera effectivement très utile ! »Et Soubatira, comme les autres habitants de Forest City, espèrent voir la ville fantôme gagner un autre surnom.
