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.

Chính phủ Malaysia đang nghiên cứu đề xuất thu phí ùn tắc giao thông tại Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur và George Town nhằm giảm tình trạng kẹt xe. Nhưng một quan chức của chính quyền bang Johor đã lên tiếng bày tỏ lo ngại, cho rằng việc thu phí chỉ hiệu quả nếu có hệ thống giao thông công cộng hoàn chỉnh.

But Malaysians’ love affair with the fruit persists. Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. Talk about what’s new with Johor nowadays and one usually ends up with a five-letter acronym - JSSEZ, or the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. But all the excitement about rising opportunities has also hastened the demise of what traditionally has juiced up Johor’s economy - pineapple farms. Land packed with the hardy, spiky fruits is making way for more profitable oil palm plantations, data centres as well as other commercial and industrial activities. Malaysia is not giving up on pineapples though, as it's the No 2 export fruit after the mighty durian. Sarawak has earmarked 20,000 hectares just for growing the fruit. In this episode, ST’s foreign editor Li Xueying speaks with Malaysia correspondent Lu Wei Hoong about his love affair with pineapples and why it means so much to Malaysians.

If you grew up in Johor, Penang, or Singapore, you might have seen or been a part of the Chingay Parade, a century-old annual event where devotees carry palanquins housing deities from the main Chinese clans of the Hokkien, Cantonese, Hainan, Hakka, and Teochew. 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. We delve into the history and significance of Chingay with Rayner Tan, vice chairman of the Johor Old Ancient Temple, which is part of the Chingay parade.Image credit: 柔佛古庙游神 Johor Chingay FacebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For January, hosts Lim Ai Leen and Tan Tam Mei kick off with ST's Malaysia bureau chief Shannon Teoh, based in Kuala Lumpur.

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.

Singapore shares began the day trading in positive territory as overseas markets closed a holiday-shortened week mixed with anticipation for the incoming Donald Trump administration. In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) was up 0.5 per cent at 3,819.13 points after 58.5 million securities changed hands in the broader market. In terms of companies to watch, we have Mapletree Logistics Trust after the REIT’s manager said it is divesting a property in Malaysia for RM31.5 million (S$9.6 million) or 31.3 per cent above value. Elsewhere, from interest in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone to Asian currencies falling to a two decade low against the US dollar, more local and international headlines remain in focus. Also on deck, what to expect ahead of the release of November's US JOLTS jobs report tomorrow night. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Chin Hui Leong, Co-founder, The Smart Investor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part 4 continues with the aftermath of the 1824 Treaty of London. John Crawfurd takes over from a disgraced William Farquhar as First Resident. Singapore commences its never-ending building and infrastructure process. The Straits Settlements are created in 1826. With a spike in labor demand and with slavery recently abolished, the East India Company comes up with a novel solution. Up in Johor, Daing Ibrahim takes over as the new Temenggong and becomes a ruler that the East India Company can work with. The majority Teochew and Hokkien communities start to organize around their own community leaders. Gutta-Percha is discovered and for the first time Singapore gets to surf a nice wave of prosperity as this raw material's discovery coincides with a massive demand from a new technological innovation. Alongside all this growth in commerce emerges several secret societies who, like their overseas counterparts, provide a mixture of good and evil across Chinese society. Tin is discovered in 1848 in Perak State. Singapore gets a piece of this action as well. With the EIC's fortunes sinking, Singapore's leaders start to lobby Parliament in London for Crown Colony status and to scrape the despised East India Company management from the bottom of their shoe. Communal strife starts to break out with regularity. This will continue in various forms all the way into the 20th century. We close things out by presenting the life and career of William A. Pickering, an extraordinary person in his day.  I invite you to support me and my work by subscribing to my Patreon Page at https://www.patreon.com/c/TheChinaHistoryPodcast You'll get all these episodes long before they're released to the podcasting public.

Requests to present the history of Singapore go back to 2010 or 2011. At long last, here's an easy-to-consume and digest overview of The Lion City. In Part 1 we'll look at the watered world of Southeast Asia and the Monsoon Winds that led to the earliest intra-Asian sea trade. And of course, the legendary 14th century founding of Singapore will be told. Sri Vijaya, Sang Nila Utama, Temasek, and the five kings of Singapura. The visit of Yuan Dynasty explorer Wang Dayuan will also be introduced as well as his early observations. We'll get as far as the fall of Singapura and the founding of the Sultanates of Melaka and later Johor. When the early 16th century dawns, the arrival of the Portuguese will put the trajectory of Singapore and Malaysian history in a new direction. We'll pick up next time and see how the arrival of the Dutch and British East India Companies start shaking things up in Southeast Asia. Although a lot of what's covered in Part 1 is only legend, one can easily see the history of this small island at the tip of the Malaysian Peninsula goes back far beyond the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles.

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.

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.
