Cyberjaya - Multimedia Super Corridor of Malaysia is Rising!


Information of Cyberjaya:
Cyberjaya is a town with a science park as the core that forms a key part of the Multimedia Super Corridor in Malaysia. It is located in Sepang District, Selangor. Cyberjaya is adjacent to, and developed along with Putrajaya, Malaysia's new seat of government. This town aspires to be known as the Silicon Valley of Malaysia.

The idea of an IT-themed city, Cyberjaya, arose out of a study by management consultancy McKinsey for the Multimedia Super Corridor commissioned by the Federal Government of Malaysia in 1995. The implementation agency was the Town & Country Planning Department of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. The catalyst is the agreement by NTT in 1996 to site an R&D center at a site to the west of the new Malaysian administration center, Putrajaya.

Spanning an area of about 28.94 square kilometres (7,000 acres), the town is the nucleus of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), now known as MSC Malaysia. The site for Cyberjaya was primarily undeveloped land consisting of oil palm plantations. It has since seen extensive building activities including a boutique hotel, numerous commercial buildings, offices for MSC Status companies, universities, a community club and the headquarters for the local council.

It was built to be the city of the future, but no goals toward this end have been announced. The Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) (formerly MDC), the agency tasked with spearheading the MSC's progress, has its headquarters in the heart of Cyberjaya.

Cyberjaya is planned as an intelligent district with ICT and multimedia industries, R&D centres, a Multimedia University and operational headquarters for multinationals wishing to direct their worldwide manufacturing and trading activities using multimedia technology.This project will be fully owned by the Ministry Of Infrastructure Development under the Smart Nation 2050 initiatives that will help boost local multimedia and technology sector.It will consist of two phases with Phase 1 is slated for completion by 2050 and Phase 2 within the next 5 years . This development will overseen an increase revenue in the technology , multimedia and R&D sector with the total estimate of 470 Billion MYR . YB Tan Sri Iman Rayyan Stated That This Will Not Only Help Local Companies To Be Internationally Recognise but will help Malaysia emerge as one of the worlds leading tech nation with South Korea , United States , Taiwan , Japan and China competing for the top spot.
