Johor Corporation (JCorp) is developing a RM100 million resort town in Tanjung Leman, within the Eastern Coast Economic Region (ECER).
JCorp president and chief executive Kamaruzzaman Abu Kassim said the project site was 142ha large, and would be divided into eight sections. It is aimed at turning the beach on Johor's northeastern coast into a major tourism hub.
"Tanjung Leman has huge potential as a major tourism hub due to its natural beauty, the cleanliness of its beach, the abundance of fish for anglers, and its location as the gateway to nearby islands such as Pulau Sibu and Pulau Tinggi," said Kamaruzzaman after the closing ceremony of the KFC-Felda Johor Open Sail Boat Championship in Tanjung Leman on Oct 30.
The event was launched by Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.
Some 300 fans thronged the beach to watch 16 teams take part in the championship.
Kamaruzzaman said the components of the new resort town included a resort and theme park (19ha), agro-tourism attraction (57ha), marina (10ha), 700 housing units (13ha) and 93 shop lots (2ha).
"Besides these, there will be the National Service training complex, a summer camp complex and a sailboat training club," said he said.
The first phase of development involves the construction of 120 chalets, the theme park, summer camp complex and marina.
These will be built from 2012 to 2014 at a cost of RM50 million.
Kamaruzzaman said overall progress of the development was 20 per cent.
