WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Commerce Department said Friday it was finalizing an award of up to $4.745 billion to South Korea's Samsung Electronics and up to $1.61 billion for Texas Instruments to expand chips production.
Kota Jail in Johor Baru , the country’s third-oldest prison, is being turned into a major tourist attraction.
Joho co-founder Zul Abas said they are working closely with Johor Baru City Council and Prisons Department to bring the Ayer Molek prison back to life.“Among our plans is to have a museum, seminar area, work places and multipurpose area. Following the setting up of Johor Baru Correctional Centre in Ulu Choh and Simpang Renggam Prison, Kota Jail was used as a police lockup from 2005 before being abandoned in 2018.“It would be a waste to see Kota Jail developed into a commercial site similar to what has happened to other historical buildings in the country.
The research team, including local historians, had engaged with the National Archives of Malaysia and their Singapore counterparts, he said.“We are also roping in former inmates to work as tour guides.
