In December 2018, Malaysia had wanted Singapore to withdraw its plan to implement the Instrument Landing System (ILS) or change the flight route to Seletar Airport via Pasir Gudang

Pasir Gudang port would encounter higher risks due to the height that Singapore wants to set for the airport’s ILS.

Loke said if the ILS flight path were allowed, Malaysia would not be able to build tall buildings in Pasir Gudang with the port also subjected to higher risks and multiple restrictions.

Pasir Gudang is now the third city after Johor Bahru and Iskandar Puteri in the state of Johor

There will be more significant development coming on its way soon
