OCBC director and chief executive officer Jeffrey Chew Sun Teong said that Iskandar, Malaysia’s first economic growth corridor, had been gaining momentum since its launch on Nov 4, 2006.

Chew was speaking at the opening of the OCBC Al-Amin Bank at Taman Sutera Utama in Skudai, the bank’s first Islamic branch in the southern region.
