The setting includes various magnetic indicators that attract the investors locally and globally. Recent property market reports reveal a significant overhang of unsold industrial properties, highlighting a pressing need to enhance the investment appeal of this sector. Addressing these overhang issues is crucial for revitalizing the industrial properties market and sustaining economic growth. This research aims to identify the magnetic indicators of economic agglomeration within Malaysia’s industrial investment environment. Participants were purposively selected from both public and private agencies involved in industrial investment. A focus group discussion with fifteen industry experts was conducted to determine the factors that create an optimal investment environment. Thematic analysis was then applied to the discussion data, enabling the identification and categorization of key themes related to magnetic indicators that influence industrial investment. From the discussion, nineteen magnetic indicators were identified. The provision of infrastructure, strategic location, supply of raw material and labor are among the main magnetic indicators that were identified. These findings provide a basis for the related government agencies, local government as well as developers in formulating an economic agglomeration of industrial properties that contribute to the economic growth of Malaysia.

In this way, it can put together philosophical analysis with intuition from the general public, into an interdisciplinary stand that connects economics and ethics. Furthermore, the study investigates whether those incentives conform to major ethical theories such as utilitarianism, distributive justice, and Kantian ethics. By discussing how these philosophical mechanisms apply to the government’s actions, the paper develops into a critical analysis of key issues regarding fairness, social justice, and morality in the way the incentives have been distributed. It further questions the role that these incentives have played in supporting economic stability-especially for big companies-while questioning the exclusion of smaller businesses. The research forms a valuable insight into ethical implications for public policy in crisis situations by building up a wide understanding of how philosophical principles can help make real-world decisions.
