Bernama 5 Jan 10;
Port of Tanjung Pelepas chairman Datuk Mohd Sidik Shaik Osman said the substantial investment was expected to generate RM10 billion worth of spin-offs in 25 years including providing jobs for locals.
On another matter, Ghani said Malaysia and Singapore would jointly promote the Ramsar wetland site in Johor and Sungai Buloh Wetland Reserves in the republic as new eco-tourism attractions.
The collaborative effort was the first initiative under the Ministerial Level Committee for Iskandar Malaysia, he said, adding that a foreign consultant has been appointed to conduct studies on wetland preservation, product promotion and visitors' target.
On the "Echoes of Life" Sungai Pulai book, Ghani said it contained valuable information towards enlightening the people on the richness of the priceless natural environment.
The book, jointly published by the Port of Tanjung Pelepas and Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) Johor branch, is available at MPH bookstores.
A limited edition of only 1,500 copies are available at RM299 a copy.
Johor MNS president Associate Prof Dr Maketab Mohamed was present at the book launch.
