“…The resort consisted of hotels, chalets, as well as recreational and sporting facilities, including an international standard golf course. The resort planned to attract visitors from Johor Bahru and Singapore (Ngah & Saad, 2015;Ngah, 2015;Zahid & Nasir, 2016). Following that, the KEJORA (Johor Tenggara Development Authority) headquarters and an additional 100 units of KEJORA staff housing were developed in 1989 (Ngah & Saad, 2015).…”

“…As a result, the Bandar Penawar and the Pengerang region became more accessible from the Johor Bahru Metropolitan area, and a journey from Pasir Gudang to Bandar Penawar only takes less than halfhour (Ngah & Saad, 2015). The second is the development of the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC), which houses oil refineries, naphtha crackers, petrochemical plants as well as a liquefied natural gas (LNG) (Zahid & Nasir, 2016). PIPC is located in Tanjung Pengerang, which is only 20 minutes to Bandar Penawar (Ngah & Saad, 2015;Ngah, 2015;Zahid & Nasir, 2016;Rahman, 2018;Rohani et al, 2019).…”

“…The Pengerang coastline ensures a safe and sheltered harbor where no breakwater is required for coastal development (Rahman, 2018). With the strategic location of shipping lanes from the Middle East-Singapore-China and being adjacent to Singapore, it will be a big step in creating value for the downstream oil and gas value via petrochemical refining industry in Johor and Malaysia (Ngah & Saad, 2015;Ngah, 2015;Zahid & Nasir, 2016;Rahman, 2018;Rohani et al, 2019). Then, the PIPC began in 2011 as the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) project, in response to the realization that gas resources in Peninsular Malaysia were finite, limiting the growth of the gas-based petrochemical industry (Ngah & Saad, 2015;Zahid & Nasir, 2016;Rahman, 2018;Che Man & Salihin, 2018).…”

The large development projects exhibit positive impacts on the surroundings and immediate spatial vicinity of the development. Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) is a mega project planned under Malaysia's National Key Economic Areas (NKEA). Even though the PIPC seems to be beneficial for the country's economic growth, in terms of foreign investment, however, it also creates controversial issues among local people, such as the local people may not necessarily obtain benefits from the development of PIPC. Previous similar studies did not adequately explore these issues. Therefore, this research study presents two main objectives: (i) to explore the issues and benefits of those arising among local people by the development of PIPC projects and (ii) to prepare a strategic plan for inclusive development where local people can benefit from the development of PIPC projects. In order to reach the aim of this research site observation, and interviews with community leaders, local workers, and government institutions, have been as an instrument for data collection. However, the finding of this research indicates that the issues of the PIPC development that were considered are those arising among the fishermen community in the region, local businesses, and other related issues. While this research study has been prepared, the strategy where local people can benefit from the development. Furthermore, an initiative and a well-designed strategy of this research study will lead to relatively long term support and a relationship between locals and the government.
