Cyberview promises to improve facilities
Wednesday October 29, 2008

On time: Redza showing bus schedules and routes of the
Shuttle 1 and Shuttle 2 feeder buses in Cyberjaya recently.

THE landowner of Cyberjaya said they would do their best to improve the facilities for the benefit of those working and residing at the intelligent city.

One of the benefits introduced for the local community here is the Park and Ride facility which was criticised for the poor shuttle service.

Cyberview Sdn Bhd managing director Redza Rafiq refuted claims that the Park and Ride service known as The Shuttle was inefficient although it was free.

Redza said since they have been given the mandate to spearhead the entire development in Cyberjaya, they have made efforts to ensure that Cyberjaya was developed in accordance with the MSC Malaysia guidelines.

Residents and the working community in Cyberjaya have complained that the shuttle service is always delayed and does not follow the schedule.

Redza pointed out that apart from the shuttle service, Cyberjaya is also serviced by the Dedicated Transportation System (DTS).

Both the service are operated by RapidKL and Redza said there could be some confusion on this.

Redza said while he is in no position to comment on the DTS, he was however sure that the Shuttle buses operate on schedule.

There are two Shuttle services — Shuttle 1 servicing the northern areas of Cyberjaya which includes the Limkokwing University, Persiaran Semarak Api, Cyberjaya Community Centre and the Lake Gardens while Shuttle 2 covers the southern region where the commercial offices are located.

“There is overlapping of routes for the Shuttle 1 and a stage bus that operates between Cyberjaya and the Putrajaya Terminal. This is where the confusion arises. However we are brave to say that the Shuttle service keeps to their schedule as the route covered is not long and drivers are able to meet their 15 minute intervals,” said Redza.

Redza said there were 160 buses plying in and around Cyberjaya and to areas such as the KL Sentral, LRT Gombak, Bangi, Klang Parade, Seremban and Banting.

Redza said the company has a service agreement with RapidKL to provide a good and efficient transport system with some routes working round the clock.

Both the foreigners and the locals have commented that Cyberjaya is no longer the city they once knew when they first arrived here a few years ago.

The working community has put the blame on the police and the Sepang Municipal Council (MPSp) for their poor enforcement.

Following this the MPSp and the police decided to come down hard on stubborn motorists and started issuing summonses to owners of vehicles parked along the road shoulders and those obstructing traffic.

Emkay to build RM4.3b Cyberjaya projects from 2010
By Zuraimi AbdullahPublished: 2008/11/03

EMKAY Group, controlled by developer Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar, plans to build RM4.3 billion worth of properties in Cyberjaya, Selangor, from 2010.

The future developments will add another 10 million sq ft of office space in Cyberjaya in several years, Mustapha Kamal said.

"The group is now looking at buying some 70 acres of prime land for that purpose," he said after a ceremony to mark the construction of an 11-storey office building at its NeoCyber project in Cyberjaya on Saturday.

The Emkay group is helping to develop Cyberjaya through major projects such as NeoCyber and MKN EmbassyTechzone.

The latter's development is a 60:40 joint venture with India's Embassy Group.

Until then, Emkay will first build eight office towers at MKN Embassy Techzone next year.

The office buildings will boast a gross development value of RM800 million, covering an office space of two million sq ft. It had bought 20 acres for the project.

State-owned Amanah Raya Bhd recently bought three completed office buildings at MKN Embassy Techzone development for a combined RM266 million.

Emkay has so far completed projects totalling RM291 million and an office space of 700,000 sq ft in Cyberjaya.

By 2011, it will have provided a total 3.5 million sq ft of office space.

On whether the looming economic recession would hamper the group's development plans, he said: "We have successfully gone through two recessions before. With this experience, God willing, we are confident that our future projects will go on as planned."

Meanwhile, Emkay has built 272 residential units and 205 shop offices at NeoCyber.

Being built in four phases since 2007, the development is into its third phase, which started last month and slated for completion by June 2010.

Telekom willing to help in developing MSC cyber centre
Tuesday November 11, 2008

MALACCA : Telekom Malaysia Tan Sri Mohd. Radzi Mansor said the national telecommunications and multimedia service provider are more than ready to help the state in developing the MSC Cyber Centre in MITC Melaka as they are capable of providing a wide range of communications services.

However, he added that the situation depended on demand or need, as the cost of laying out the infrastructure is high. Mohd Radzi commented on this at a press conference at the opening of Menara TM in Malacca recently.

“Streamyx has been available in Malacca since early 2003. With just about 500 customers then, the service now records a total of more than 38,000 Streamyx customers to date.

“Of this total, 31,000 are residential customers while the rest comprise business customers. Streamyx then was only available at speeds of up to 384 Kbps while now customers have a choice of speeds up to 8 Mbps.”

He added that for business customers, Telekom Malaysia Berhad’s (TM) ‘Metro.e’ service had offered high-speed connectivity access from a speed of 4.0Mbps to 1Gbps, making it a compelling alternative for businesses that need robust secure high-speed connectivity.

Cyberjaya created to be an ICT hub

CYBERJAYA was born when the federal government decided to create an information communication technology (ICT) hub to complement the newly-launched Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) in 1997.

Developer Setia Haruman was given the job for the overall development of the basic physical infrastructure and general facilities in the 2,894ha Cyberjaya flagship zone.

Setia Haruman is also to offer assistance to the MSC status companies to obtain the appropriate land and approval for sub-division and building plans.

Its role is to plan, design and prepare the primary infrastructure for the flagship zone and subsequently sell parcels of land to sub-developers and individual purchasers who will have the flexibility to design their own premises subject to permitted planning guidelines.

Cyberview Sdn Bhd is the landowner of Cyberjaya.

According to its managing director Redza Rafiq, emphasis has been placed on sophisticated urban structures for businesses, homes, education and recreation with eco-friendly development given the priority.

Cyberjaya, which is under the MSC jurisdiction, is supported by secure cyberlaws, strategic policies and a range of financial and non-financial incentives for investors.

“Cyberjaya has been transformed into an intelligent city with world-class standards and facilities,” Redza said.

As part of the efforts to curb traffic congestion in Cyberjaya, public transportation has been adequately provided for.

There is a dedicated transport system (DTS) linking Cyberjaya to various places in the Klang Valley, and a free shuttle service for inner city transportation.

The area also has ample parking facilities where residents and commuters can park their vehicles at the designated areas and ride the public transport.

“Total number of parking lots available so far is 1,191 bays with seven for buses at the junction of Persiaran Rimba Permai and Persiaran APEC,” Redza said.

There is also the innovative park and ride (P&R) scheme that started in July last year.

The P&R service provides free parking at designated terminals to allow people to take the buses to various areas in Cyberjaya. The free service runs from 7am to midnight.

“Commuters can leave their vehicles at the designated car parks and hop on the free shuttles during the operating hours,” Redza said.

“It saves time and money and also avoids traffic congestion amid the hassle of finding parking spots in the township,” he said.

A DTS study, meanwhile, revealed that almost 90% of bus passengers are aged between 20 and 40 years with 61% of the total riders being women.

“The DTS currently serves seven routes and operates round-the clock throughout the week to cater for shared services and outsourcing companies that operate in a similar way,” Redza said.

Currently, the DTS has routes to KL Sentral, LRT Gombak, Bangi, Kepong, Klang Parade, Seremban and Banting.

Nearly 24% of the 2,475 passengers using the service in August this year were travelling the KL Sentral route with 23% to Kepong. The least was to Banting with less than 3%.

Accodring to Redza, all DTS buses are equipped with mobile tracking units (MTU) capable of monitoring the buses via the global positioning system (GPS) to ensure the safety and timeliness to the passengers.

The current charge for a monthly DTS pass is RM213. The passes are obtainable at the Cyberview office.

UEM To Buy Land In Cyberjaya For RM102 Million
December 31, 2008 21:22 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 31 (Bernama) -- UEM Land Holdings Bhd (ULHB)'s subsidiary, UEM Land Bhd has entered into an agreement with Cyberview Sdn Bhd and Setia Harum Sdn Bhd to buy a piece of land in Cyberjaya for RM102.491 million.

ULHB said the acquisition of the 98.037 acres of land in the Cyberjaya flagship was an opportunity to the group to diversify and spread its risk geographically other than Nusajaya.

It said the entry into Cyberjaya was timely with the increasing interest in the area.

"This will enable ULHB to tap into the rising demand for quality homes in Cyberjaya, arising from the increase in numbers of locals and expatriate workers employed in Cyberjaya," it said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia, Wednesday.

Hollywood coming to Malaysia
Wednesday January 14, 2009
By TEE LIN SAY

PETALING JAYA: Hollywood is coming to Malaysia.

Los Angeles-based award winning visual effects studio, Rhythm and Hues Studio, will be setting up a high-tech studio on par with its LA studio in Malaysia.

With more than 100 feature films to its credit such as Babe, The Hulk, The Golden Compass, The Chronicles of Narnia and Night In The Museum, Rhythm is internationally recognised as one of Hollywood’s top visual effects and animation facilities.

“Rhythm is not outsourcing or doing back office work in Malaysia. The work done here will be the same sort of thing being done in LA. The Malaysian studio will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rhythm in the US,” said Rhythm senior advisor Shahril Ibrahim.

“For instance, while shooting a film, the lighting is done in Mumbai, the animation in Kuala Lumpur and the visual effects in LA. So it’s a very collaborated effort which is broken up into task groups.”

The studio in Malaysia will be Rhythm’s third outside of the US. It also has studios in Mumbai and Hyderabad. Presently, there are 300 people in the India outfit.

Shahril said Rhythm was in need of a third studio and had looked at a few countries.

Malaysia was chosen because of Multimedia Development Corp’s (MDec) support for its sort of work, he said. Cost was another huge factor, apart from the big pool of students studying multimedia in Malaysia.

“We did get some incentives from MDec, but it’s minor support things,” he said.

Rhythm’s present primary need is talent, and it is looking to hire 200 to 225 skilled workers. The studio is expected to be running by year-end, with 40 recruits for a start.

In the process of film and animation, Shahril said the Malaysian studio would initially be more involved with background works. After the necessary training (three to six months of in-house training) , it will start moving into animation works. Most of Rhythm’s technology is its own proprietary software.

“Rhythm is creating high end jobs. The next best equivalent of Rhythm is probably Lucas Films Ltd Studio in Singapore. So it’s definitely a coup for Malaysia. The Malaysian studio will be doing Hollywood work. So Malaysians get a chance to be involved in the making of an international movie. For instance, the Indian studio did parts of The Hulk, Narnia and The Golden Compass,” said Shahril.

He added that Rhythm had no plan to enter the Malaysian movie industry.

Rhythm has already identified Cyberjaya for the studio.

“Putting the technical elements into the studio is not dificult. The main priority is to recruit and train people. Rhythm is cautious because it wants to hire people which are culturally Rhythm.

“In Rhythm, we’re very open and transparent. Its not truly hierarchical, it’s more matrically in culture,” said Shahril.

Rhythm is a privately owned company which makes about US$100mil a year in revenue.

Symantec Welcomes Impact's New Facility In Cyberjaya
March 20, 2009 21:28 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 (Bernama) -- Symantec has welcomed the opening of the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats (IMPACT)'s Global Headquarters in Cyberjaya, about 35 km from here, today.

"We look forward to continuing our involvement in this important multilateral collaboration to address the increasing levels of online security threats we're seeing throughout the world," said Symantec Corporation vice president, Asia South region, Eric Hoh, in a statement.

He said IMPACT was a very valuable platform for governments and industry players to exchange ideas, best practices, share skills and work together in combating cyber threats.

As today's cybercriminals are thriving on information they are gathering without permission from consumers and businesses, securing and managing information is becoming increasingly challenging, he said.

The collaborative initiatives of IMPACT will play an active role in increasing the capacity of its member countries in addressing the challenge, he added.

Symantec is a member of IMPACT's International Advisory Board and has been providing input on security threats to IMPACT's Global Response Centre, which is located in the new IMPACT Global Headquarters in Cyberjaya.

The centre encompasses an early warning system, which represents a critical foundation of IMPACT.

Hoh said as a global leader in providing security, storage and systems management solutions, Symantec engages with governments across the globe to strengthen the policy environment, secure the infrastructure, achieve greater international collaboration, as well as raise public awareness on cyber security issues.

The Symantec's Report on the Underground Economy is an example of resources that organisations and governments across the world can leverage for data on the evolving threat landscape, he said.

Key findings of the report include that the underground economy globally was valued at more than US$276 million between the period of July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008.

The underground economy is geographically diverse and generates revenue for cybercriminals who range from loose collections of individuals to organised and sophisticated groups, he said.

Between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008, North America hosted the largest number of such servers accounting for 45 percent of the total while Europe/Middle East/Africa hosted 38 percent, and the Asia/Pacific 12 percent and Latin America five percent.

The geographical locations of underground economy servers are constantly changing to evade detection.

PM Confident Impact Will Gain From Cyberjaya
March 20, 2009 21:23 PM

CYBERJAYA, March 20 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said he was confident that the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats (Impact), will be able to leverage on Cyberjaya's various advantages to its benefits.

Impact, the only multi-stakeholder cybersecurity organisation in the world, today launched its headquarters which has been set up here in Cyberjaya.

Abdullah said through Impact, the focus of the cyber security world will be on Cyberjaya and Malaysia, paving the way for the country to become a world leader in this domain.

"In the area of cyber-security, Malaysia is fast becoming an emerging force and most of the local top talents in this field are located in Cyberjaya," he told reporters at the launch of Impact's global headquarters.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union Dr Hamadoun Toure were present to witness the event.

Impact's 58,000-sq foot headquarters here was erected with the aid of a RM43 million start-up grant from the Malaysian government.

It will be the hub for Impact's international activities and house a global response centre, training lab, security assurance, as well as a research centre for policy and international cooperation.

Abdullah, who is also chairman of Impact's International Advisory Board, said offences committed in cyber-space through network of interconnected computers will cause severe real life consequences.

"Today, a new generation of criminals can cause severe economic, political and social damage on a large scale.

"For instance, cyber disruption that causes a nationwide blackout or the collapse of financial trading systems can undermine even the strongest economies," he said.

Hence, Abdullah said Impact is the direct result of this need for a diverse range of stakeholders to come together to take the challenges.

Impact, the brainchild of the prime minister was officially launched in Kuala Lumpur in May last year.

To-date, it has 27 countries as members and supported by cyber-security companies such as F-Secure, Symantec, Kaspersky Labs, Sans Institute and Epok Inc.

Apart from that, Impact key partners include International Telecommunication Union (ITU), United Nations and INTERPOL.

After the event, Abdullah was briefed on Maxis Communications Bhd's iPhone 3G in conjunction with the launch of the phone.

He also become the first to own a Maxis iPhone 3G.

Cyberview draws up 5-year plan for Cyberjaya
By Sharen KaurPublished: 2009/03/30

CYBERVIEW Sdn Bhd is drawing up new plans for Cyberjaya - including products and development - that will cover a five-year period from 2011 to 2015, a top official said.

"We will have a round of discussion with the Economic Planning Unit to identify what are the niche areas that need to be prompted and expanded. One area where I see a lot of potential is creative multimedia," said Redza Rafiq, managing director of the government-linked entity spearheading developments at Cyberjaya.

He believes there will be an influx of investments to Cyberjaya as companies worldwide, especially Ame-rican information and communications technology (ICT) firms, relocate to keep costs low.

Cyberview has embarked on a campaign to promote Cyberjaya in North America, and several firms have indicated their intention to move to the ICT hub, Redza told Business Times in an interview recently.

"We are expanding. It is not a real estate game. We are using property as a tool to create economic opportunities in targeted sectors. We believe there are opportunities in every crisis," he said.

Redza said Cyberview is moving to develop more land and provide more buildings as demand has outstripped supply.

There are currently 500 companies operating in Cyberjaya, 465 of which are homegrown and the rest, multinationals. This is 65 per cent more than three years ago.

Redza said 26 companies have confirmed moving to Cyberjaya since July last year, including Malladi, a biotech firm from India; Rhythm & Hues Studios, which specialises in visual effects and computer animation for feature films; Experian plc, a global information services company; institutional investor services provider RBC Dexia; and a prominent US-based micro processor.

Cyberview is currently busy building eight properties for, among others, Dell, Satyam, Hewlett-Packard, KRU Studios, and the Knowledge Workers Development Institute.

These properties are worth a combined RM585 million, and will add 1.65 million sq ft of new office space in Cyberjaya by end-2010, breaching the anticipated five million sq ft mark.

Redza said it will also create 7,000 new jobs by then, increasing the current workforce of 19,000.

Cyberview, meanwhile, has postponed the launch of its flagship housing project, myHome@Cyberjaya, worth over RM100 million, to the fourth quarter.

It was aiming to launch the project, comprising 1,000 units of serviced apartments and double-storey houses worth from RM88,000 to RM168,000 respectively, in August last year.

The delay is due to unexpected demand from knowledge workers in Cyberjaya, Redza said.

Today, some 25 per cent of Cyberjaya's total land size is developed with proper infrastructure, public amenities, houses, commercial blocks, SME buildings and learning institutions.

"It would be unrealistic to assume that we would be unaffected by job cuts by companies operating from Cyberjaya. But it is realistic to believe the effect on Cyberjaya will be more muted compared to other areas," he told Business Times.

Emkay: More office space in Cyberjaya
By Sharen KaurPublished: 2009/04/10

The property developer may start launching new projects from July this year to add 8.2 million sq ft of office space in Cyberjaya over the next five to seven years.

THE Emkay Group, a property developer owned by Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar, is providing more office space at Cyberjaya, Selangor, to capture demand at the fast-growing township.

It is building an 11-storey office tower at its NeoCyber integrated development and two office buildings, known as block C and D, at MKN Embassy Techzone, an information technology park.

Techzone is being developed by MKN Embassy Development Sdn Bhd, a 60:40 venture between Emkay Group and Bangalore's Embassy Group.

The three new buildings will provide 826,000 sq ft of office space in Cyberjaya by early 2010.

"We are targeting for another five million sq ft of office space over the next five years," Mustapha Kamal said at the launch of block D by chief secretary to the government, Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan.

Since it ventured into Cyberjaya in 2006, Emkay has completed block A and B at Techzone, and Bangunan Mustapha Kamal, providing 692,238 sq ft of office space.

Emkay may start launching new projects from July this year to add 8.2 million sq ft of office space in Cyberjaya over the next five to seven years.

The new projects could be worth a combined RM3.2 billion. They include the phase two of Techzone, which will have six purpose-built office blocks and the extension of NeoCyber.

Emkay's investment strategy in Cyberjaya is to lease the buildings first and then sell them.

Last year, it sold block A and B, and Bangunan Mustapha Kamal, to Amanah Raya Bhd, a public trustee company wholly-owned by the Minister of Finance Inc, for RM266 million.

Block A and B have been leased for 10 to 15 years to the Public Service Department and the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (Mampu).

Bangunan Mustapha Kamal has a long-term tenant in the Education Ministry.

Emkay is in the process of selling block C, which may be leased to Pejabat Pengarah Tanah dan Galian, and block D, where it is finalising a deal to lease it to a government agency.

Business Times learnt that Cyberview Sdn Bhd, a government-owned entity responsible for the development of Cyberjaya, may buy block C and D, which are worth around RM200 million in total.

Cyberjaya to get more WiFi hotspots
Monday April 20, 2009
By CHARLES FERNANDEZ

WHILE Cyberjaya represents Malaysia’s next generation leap into technology, the present scattering of WiFi hotspots in the intelligent city seems paltry for the city’s burgeoning number of Internet users.

The good news, however, is that Cyberview Sdn Bhd (CSB) is planning to roll out more hotspots to cover a wider area to enable Cyberjaya residents and those working in the township to enjoy WiFi access.

With IT-based companies, both foreign and local, conducting business here, wireless broadband is the uptake of choice among new and existing Internet users but the lack of hotspots is a common grouse among residents and visitors.

CSB managing director Datuk Redza Rafiq agreed that the city lacked certain facilities normally taken for granted in a smart city.

“We do not have a city-wide wireless broadband access WiFi zone and all we have are pockets of hotspots,’’ he said.

Redza said there were designated public areas with free Internet access but this would be further developed to e-enable all populated areas.

“We are calling for tenders soon and, hopefully, the whole system will be in place by the end of the year. Work will begin next month,’’ he added.

Redza said CSB is confident of achieving a good range of coverage in the city.

In December last year, residents of the Smart Homes located next to the Multimedia University (MMU) directed their anger at developers Paramoden Sdn Bhd, a member of the Emkay Group, for calling the units Smarthomes when there seemed to be nothing ‘smart’ about the homes.

“We can’t connect to the Internet even though we are located very close to the MMU,’’ a resident had said.

Purpose-built: Sidek (left) launching the
MKN Embassy Techzone in Cyberjaya.

WITH the recent entry of several non ICT-based government and government-linked companies (GLCs), like the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Manage*ment Planning Unit (Mampu) and the Public Services Department (PSD), Cyberjaya is slowly moving away from being a information communication technology (ICT) hub.

The intelligent city was created to complement the newly launched Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) in 1997, but with the recent launch of the MKN purpose-built buildings at the MKN Embassy Techzone, more government agencies are expected to make Cyberjaya their preferred address.

Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, who launched Block D of the MKN Embassy project, said that ideally, Cyberjaya should be an ICT hub but one had be willing to change in order to survive in the light of the uncertain global climate.

“We must change to enjoy a business presence within an ecosystem,” he added.

Sidek said he was happy that MKN and the Embassy Group of India, which had a 40% stake in the project, were bringing about balanced development in Cyberjaya.

Emkay Group executive chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal said the MKN Embassy Techzone project, consisting of two phases of development, would encompass a campus-like concept to provide a conducive working environment for the knowledge workers

“We hope with the completion of the project, more government agencies, including ICT companies, both local and foreign, would make the Cyberjaya Flagship Zone (CFZ) their business address.

Mustapha said the strategy was to lease the buildings first and then sell them.

He said that since last year, Emkay had sold Blocks A and B to Amanah Raya Bhd and were in the process of selling Block C to another government agency.

Phase One will consist of of four office blocks with a total floor space of 250,000 sq ft (23,226 sq m) and will be completed early next year, while Phase Two, with six office blocks comprising a total floor space of two million square feet (185,806 sq m) is expected to be completed within the next five years.

The Embassy Group of India is involved in the construction of office buildings mainly in Bangalore, and to date it has provided a total floor space of 19 million square feet (1,765,150 sq m) for ICT giants like IBM, Microsoft, Sun-Microsystem, Fidelity, Target and ANZ Bank.

A PIONEER project focusing on integrated facilities for office blocks is slowly taking off in Cyberjaya.

The Campus Development Project promotes the use of shared amenities like landscapes, cafeteria, lounge area, multi-level carpark and design elements for office blocks built by MKN Embassy Development Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between the Emkay Group and The Embassy Group of India.

The concept is taking shape within four office blocks built under Phase 1 of the MKN Embassy Techzone located off Persiaran Teknokrat 2.

The phase sits on a 4.08ha plot with each office block offering 22,500 sq m of space.

Block A is ready while Block B is 80% complete. The entire project should be completed by 2010.

At the official opening of Block A on Wednesday, AMBank Group chairman Tan Sri Azman Hashim said the entity was committed to working together with the Emkay Group to develop Information Technology buildings within the MKN Embassy Techzone.

Emkay Group chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar said the success of the project implemented by The Embassy Group in India had spurred Emkay to forge a partnership with its Indian counterpart.

“The Embassy Group owns 1.76mil sq m of office space in Bangalore which is being rented out to global IT companies like Yahoo, Microsoft, HP, IBM and more,” he said.

Among the guests present were Sepang Municipal Council president Azizan Mohd Sidin, MKN Embassy Development (Embassy Group of India) director Jitendra Mohandas Virwani and Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd chief operating officer C.K. Lao.

MKN-Embassy Techzone @ Cyberjaya

Cyberjaya is about to experience a second re-awakening, said executive chairman of MK Land Holdings Bhd Mustapha Kamal. Although the intelligent city was launched 10 years ago, it is currently undergoing a second wave of development.

Mustapha’s Emkay Group and India’s Embassy Group will jointly develop Cyberjaya’s upcoming information technology (IT) business park, which he is confident will attract many multinational and local companies.

Called MKN-Embassy Techzone, the first phase, which is expected to cost over RM300 million, of the park will feature two blocks of buildings with each offering 250,000sq ft of office space within a 4ha site.

The first block is expected to be complete by January next year and the second by April.

The Embassy Group, which specializes in developing ICT business parks, is the largest owner of office space in Bangalore and boasts tenants such as IBM, Fidelity Investments, Yahoo and LG Soft.

MKN Embassy Development Sdn Bhd, the joint-venture company undertaking the project, hopes to entice several of these companies to Cyberjaya.

The first 10 years saw the placement of first-class infrastructure and facilities but the next five will be a marketing phase to investors, said Mustapha, adding that several multinational companies have already shown interest.

ITU's Global Cybersecurity Agenda Housed In Malaysia
International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber-Terrorism (IMPACT)

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 (Bernama) -- The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has concluded an agreement with the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber-Terrorism (IMPACT) to operationalise the ITU Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA).

IMPACT's state-of-the-art global headquarters in Cyberjaya, here, will be the home of ITUs Global Cybersecurity Agenda, said ITU in a statement.

ITU said its collaboration with IMPACT is aimed at building synergies to provide real-time analysis, aggregation and dissemination of global cyber threat information.

It will also cover an early warning system and emergency response to global cyber threats; and training and skills development on the technical, legal and policy aspects of cybersecurity.

It said the agreement is in line with the decision of the World Summit on the Information Society to build security and confidence in the use of information communication technologies (ICT).

The summit had also called for the coordination of multi-stakeholder implementation of information exchange, creation of knowledge, sharing of best practices, and assistance in developing public/private partnerships.

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed in Bangkok during ITU TELECOM ASIA 2008 by ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Toure and Chairman of the IMPACT Management Board Mohammad Noor Amin.

The ITU Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) is an ITU framework for international cooperation for governments, international law enforcement authorities, the private sector, international organisations and civil society to make cyberspace more secure in an increasingly networked information society.

The international effort is focused on strengthening five areas: legal framework, technical measures, organisational structures, capacity building and international cooperation.

ITU said while the GCA will be housed at the IMPACT Centre, ITU will have a virtual showcase in Geneva of the early warning system, crisis management and real-time analysis of global cyber threats.

IMPACT initiatives, such as the Global Response Centre as well as training and skills development, security assurance, research, and international cooperation will be conducted under the auspices of the GCA, it said.

Satyam has big plans for Malaysian facility
Source : The Star

http://www.picamatic.com/show/2009/07/23/02/06/4553139_385x301.jpeg

Satyam Computer Services Ltd, a leading global consulting and information technology

CYBERJAYA: Satyam Computer Services Ltd, a leading global consulting and information technology services provider, has announced that its Global Solutions Centre (GSC) here is fully operational.

This marked the first phase of the rollout of Satyam's Global Delivery Campus in Malaysia.
Satyam founder and chairman B. Ramalinga Raju said the facility would become the company's largest software hub outside India.

"The GSC is already staffed by 300 (mostly Malaysian) IT engineers, who support Satyam's Asean, Middle Eastern and US customers," he told reporters after the GSC launch here.

Also present were Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, Deputy Science, Technology and Innovations Minister Datuk Kong Cho Ha, and Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Halim Ali and chief executive officer Datuk Badlisham Ghazali.

Ramalinga said Satyam's progress with its GSC accelerated consolidation of its Global Delivery Model 2.0, an integral part of the company's strategy to provide distributed delivery capability for global customers.

GDM 2.0 calls for components of a large-scale projects to be completed wherever it makes the most business sense, rather than having an entire programme take place in a single facility, he said.

This approach, according to him, delivers significant cycle time and cost reductions, in addition to quality enhancement.

Ramalinga said the Malaysia facility also reflected the company's commitment to create an alternative workforce, multicountry model and a global delivery approach offering customised business solutions.

He said the facility would be integrated with other Satyam's GSCs across the globe, serving as a major software development centre to bring solutions to market more quickly via the company's low-risk global delivery model.

Ramalinga said the facility is expected to create more than 500 jobs for Malaysian graduates over the next 12 months, with the number increasing to 2,000 in the next few years.

"We consider this facility to be a significant part of Satyam's commitment to multi-dimensional investments in Malaysia, an excellent alternative for solutions development," he said.

He also said that Malaysia was chosen because of the country's advanced infrastructure, rich IT talent pool, competitive cost environment and favourable business climate.

The latest facility is a high-tech centre featuring state-of-the art infrastructure and video-conferencing facilities.

Equipped with high-end security features such as biometric (fingerprint) identification, the GSC also has three training labs and round-the-clock access to Satyam's global knowledge repository.

The opening of the facility followed the signing of a memorandum of understanding in December last year between Satyam and MDeC, which oversees the MSC Malaysia programme.

Satyam's development and delivery centres in the United States, Canada, Britain, Hungary, Eqypt, the United Arab Emirates, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia serve 570 clients, including one-third of the US Fortune 500 companies.

Satyam to set up 15-acre campus in Malaysia
Source: Business Standard

IT services provider Satyam Computer Services Limited is setting up a 15-acre campus at Cyber Jaya, the IT hub of Malaysia, which is expected to be operational by this year end, said Prasenjit Kundu, head (global solutions centre in Malaysia), Satyam.

Kundu said the proposed campus would be the largest campus in Malaysia, providing high-end services, including business process management (BPM), data warehousing, Oracle and engineering practices.

"We plan to add 5,000 associates to the new campus in phases, from the present 453-odd people. The first phase will see the addition 2,000 associates in the next two to three years, besides creation of a centre of excellence (CoE) for BPM soon," he said. Satyam currently has three CoEs dedicated to data warehousing, ERP and engineering practice in Malaysia.

Satyam has announced the commencement of its Faculty Sabbatical Programme (FSP). About 25 faculty members from key Malaysian universities are being taken through a month-long programme to help them gain a clear understanding of Satyam's learning model and enable them to groom fresh graduates for entry level positions.

The scope includes technology, process and essential behavioral traits. In addition, they will also be exposed to real life projects and understand critical factors that can ensure success.

"This is part of a larger strategic competency development Initiative called Campus Link. It is aimed at bridging the gap between academia and industry needs. Our touch points are primarily at three levels -- students who make up tomorrow resource pool, faculty who are responsible for making them employable and administration which is responsible for keeping the curriculum current and relevant. Through this initiative, we endeavour to develop sustainable academic relations with major universities and educational establishments. As a contributing member of the people development ecosystem, we do our part to help harness the full potential of ICT in Malaysia," Rajul Asthana, head, Satyam Learning Centre, said.

Cyberview Expects Number Of Companies In Cyberjaya To Increase By 10 Pct Next Year

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/93/Kru_studios.svg/250px-Kru_studios.svg.png

PETALING JAYA, (Bernama) -- Cyberview Sdn Bhd expects a 10 percent increase in the number of companies housed at Cyberjaya next year, its managing director, Redza Rafiq said.

Cyberview, a government-linked company, was formed to undertake the development of Cyberjaya as a global Information Communication Technology (ICT), multimedia and services hub.

Redza said that despite the current uncertainty in the global economic market, he was confident of achieving this target based on the excellent infrastructure and eco-system support offered by Cyberview.

Cyberjaya, at the center of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Malaysia, has shown an improvement of 57 percent between 2006 and 2008 in the number of companies housed there.

It now hosts 474 companies,of whom 30 are multinationals and 444 home-grown.

"Of the 444, 181 are small and medium entreprises at the SME Technopreneur Centre Cluster," he told Bernama recently.

He also said that for 2009, a few local and international companies had shown interest in locating their businesses at Cyberjaya.

"We have signed an agreement with KRU Studios Sdn Bhd, a media and entertainment company, to build its headquarters in Cyberjaya next year. We have identified a 15.39 acre plot of land for this purpose," he said.

According to Redza, the studio is expected to be completed by the third quarter of next year.

He also disclosed that an Indian company, Malladi (M) Sdn Bhd, had plans to open an office in Cyberjaya.

Launched in 1997 by the then Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed, Cyberjaya is equipped with information technology infrastructure,residential premises as well as enterprise and institutional development.

Only 20 percent of its 7,000 acre landbank has been developed.The total development is expected to be completed after 2020.

Redza added that Cyberview also offered programmes to SME technopreneurs to develop their businesses and other support services including business plan development, training and development,marketing and consulting, business information and resources along with funding access facilitation services.

Part Of RM150 Mln Animation Centre In MSC To Open Soon
May 8th 2009

KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 (Bernama) -- The Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) will soon have a RM150 million animation centre -- the MSC Malaysia Creative Multimedia Content Initiative Centre (MAC 3).

"MAC 3 is expected to be fully operated by end of next year," said MDeC Technology enterprise development-creative media cluster vertical manager Hasnol Hadi Shamzuidin.

The centre will have two zones, namely business and learning.

The business zone will be opened by end of this month, Hasnol told reporter after the launch of the MSC Malaysia Intellectual Property Creators Challenge series 2009 (IPCC), here today.

MAC 3 will provide the professional equipment and knowledge as well mentorship to help and guide local companies or members of the public who have keen interest and passion in the animation industry, he said.

"There would be a total of 50 seats available but for the first phase, we plan to recruit ten potential companies first," he said, adding that three companies were already in the list among the first ten.

Each company that has a seat would be required to pay a seat rental of RM50 per month, Hasnol said.

He said that companies that have gone through the MAC 3 programme would automatically become a MSC status company.

On the launching of IPCC today, MDeC has put aside RM1 million in grant for four categories in the competition.

Its vice president for industry development, Saifol Bahri Mohamad Shamlan, said the competition was another programme initiative by MDeC for the development of the creative multimedia industry with the aim of discovering and enhancing the capability of local talents in the area of creative content.

The categories are animation, digital comics, computer casual games and mobile games, he said.

There would be five winners for each category except the digital comics category which will offer ten places, he added.

The winners of the digital comics category will receive a sum of RM20,000 each, while the award is RM50,000 for other categories, he said.

"The country's digital creative industry has seen some seriously exciting movement the past couple of years and we expect this industry sector to perform favourably despite the economic slowdown that is affecting other sectors," he added.

He said the creative multimedia industry in Malaysia was valued at RM2.4 billion last year.

"Our next target is to reach RM3 billion by year 2010," Saifol added.

Cyberview targets 47 companies this year
24-03-2009 Source: The Star

Cyberview Sdn Bhd, the landowner of Cyberjaya and the entity leading the entire development of Cyberjaya, is targeting 47 companies to set up operations there this year.

Managing director Redza Rafiq said he anticipated most of the companies to be local entities.
“Only a handful of companies in Cyberjaya are multinational corporations (MNCs),” he said after the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Advanced Micro Devices Global Services (M) Sdn Bhd, a unit of AMD Inc.

Operating in Cyberjaya currently are 500 companies, including 35 MNCs. The rest are small and medium enterprises.

Redza said Cyberview’s role in the development of the creative multimedia and digital content industry corresponded with the mandate given by the Government to actively lead the entire development of Cyberjaya.

“There are many components to the development of Cyberjaya and one segment that we have been asked to nurture is the creative multimedia industry,” he said.

The Multimedia Development Corp (MDeC), which is the custodian of the MSC Malaysia Initiative, set up the Malaysian Animation Creative Content Centre (MAC3) in 2007 to spur the development of creative content.

Redza said AMD would partner Cyberview in nurturing the creative multimedia industry in Cyberjaya and the parties would work with MdeC to develop the Malaysian cybergames operations and research (MyCore) and the knowledge-worker development programmes.

“MyCore is part of MdeC’s MAC3 initiative and it focuses on the development of professional gamers and game developers by providing a local gaming centre,” he said.

He said AMD would take over a four-storey enterprise building in the Knowledge Workers Development Institute Complex and occupy about 68,000 sq ft.

The first phase of the complex, which cost RM48mil, was expected to be completed by the second half of this year, he said.

Meanwhile, AMD senior vice-president, finance and corporate controller, Devinder Kumar, said despite the challenging economic environment, the company expected to increase its headcount over the next two years to 500 from 230 currently.

“We have been expanding over the last couple of years and we would like to continue the expansion, especially in Cyberjaya, with the right government incentives,” he said.

He said the company also planned to set up an information technology data centre in Cyberjaya which would be to ready in the second half of this year.

AMD, a technology company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, has established its presence in Penang in 1972 under AMD Export Sdn Bhd.

It launched its global services initiative in Malaysia through Advanced Micro Devices Global Services, which was awarded MSC Malaysia Status in 2008.

Rising lifestyle expectations in the new economy

Ascendas has also joined hands with some foreign science parks so its tenants have benefited from an international networking platform.

Some of the partnerships currently in place are with the Sophia Antipolis Science Park in France, Technopolis in Finland and the International Business Incubator in the United States.

Ascendas is now arguably Asia's leading IT park developer.

As of end May 2006, it was managing 30 parks containing some 28 million square feet of space and worth US$3 billion (RM10.3 billion). Of these, 13 were in Singapore, eight in China, five in India, three in Korea and one in the Philippines.

Among its 1,300-plus tenants are Citibank, Exxon Mobil, Federal Express, GE Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Honeywell, IBM, SAP, Sony and TATA.

In the race for global capital in the new economy where knowledge has replaced natural resources and the efficiency of labour as the source of wealth creation and economic growth, Ascendas' "International Business Lifestyle" concept is worth emulating in Malaysia's MSC cybercentres, especially those located in areas that are having a tough time luring the crowd.

Hollywood coming to Malaysia
Wednesday January 14, 2009
By TEE LIN SAY

PETALING JAYA: Hollywood is coming to Malaysia.

Los Angeles-based award winning visual effects studio, Rhythm and Hues Studio, will be setting up a high-tech studio on par with its LA studio in Malaysia.

With more than 100 feature films to its credit such as Babe, The Hulk, The Golden Compass, The Chronicles of Narnia and Night In The Museum, Rhythm is internationally recognised as one of Hollywood’s top visual effects and animation facilities.

“Rhythm is not outsourcing or doing back office work in Malaysia. The work done here will be the same sort of thing being done in LA. The Malaysian studio will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rhythm in the US,” said Rhythm senior advisor Shahril Ibrahim.

“For instance, while shooting a film, the lighting is done in Mumbai, the animation in Kuala Lumpur and the visual effects in LA. So it’s a very collaborated effort which is broken up into task groups.”

The studio in Malaysia will be Rhythm’s third outside of the US. It also has studios in Mumbai and Hyderabad. Presently, there are 300 people in the India outfit.

Shahril said Rhythm was in need of a third studio and had looked at a few countries.

Malaysia was chosen because of Multimedia Development Corp’s (MDec) support for its sort of work, he said. Cost was another huge factor, apart from the big pool of students studying multimedia in Malaysia.

“We did get some incentives from MDec, but it’s minor support things,” he said.

Rhythm’s present primary need is talent, and it is looking to hire 200 to 225 skilled workers. The studio is expected to be running by year-end, with 40 recruits for a start.

In the process of film and animation, Shahril said the Malaysian studio would initially be more involved with background works. After the necessary training (three to six months of in-house training) , it will start moving into animation works. Most of Rhythm’s technology is its own proprietary software.

“Rhythm is creating high end jobs. The next best equivalent of Rhythm is probably Lucas Films Ltd Studio in Singapore. So it’s definitely a coup for Malaysia. The Malaysian studio will be doing Hollywood work. So Malaysians get a chance to be involved in the making of an international movie. For instance, the Indian studio did parts of The Hulk, Narnia and The Golden Compass,” said Shahril.

He added that Rhythm had no plan to enter the Malaysian movie industry.

Rhythm has already identified Cyberjaya for the studio.

“Putting the technical elements into the studio is not dificult. The main priority is to recruit and train people. Rhythm is cautious because it wants to hire people which are culturally Rhythm.

“In Rhythm, we’re very open and transparent. Its not truly hierarchical, it’s more matrically in culture,” said Shahril.

Rhythm is a privately owned company which makes about US$100mil a year in revenue.

Mah Sing plans RM690m project in Cyberjaya
Written by Joy Lee Wednesday, 12 August 2009 13:31

KUALA LUMPUR: MAH SING GROUP BHD has acquired a 115-acre piece of land in Cyberjaya and plans to undertake high-end residential development project with a gross development value (GDV) of RM690 million.

Managing director and CEO Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said on Aug 12 the land was acquired for RM130.5 million and would be used for medium to high end residential development.

"As the residential PROPERTIES in Cyberjaya comprise mainly medium range apartments and bungalow lots, we believe there is a pent-up demand for gated and guarded landed properties," he said.

Mah Sing also has the option to purchase 6.32 acres of adjacent commercial land at RM79 per sq ft within six months from the date of the signing of the sales and purchase agreement.

"We are bullish about the future of Cyberjaya," Leong added. Together with this project, named Garden Residence, Mah Sing has a total of 17 projects with remaining GDV and ubilled sales of approximately RM4.4 billion.

Year-to-date, the group has achieved sales of RM543 million, exceeding its full year sales taerget by 1.2 times. The group's unbilled sales stood at RM800 million and would take about two to three years to be realised.

It was also looking at acquiring more landbanks in the Klang Valley and hoped to conclude about three to four deals by this year end.

MSC Malaysia Animation and Creative Content Center
Introduction to the MAC3

MDeC allocates RM75m to assist MSC firms
Published: 2009/08/18

MULTIMEDIA Development Corp (MDeC) has set up a RM75 million fund to help local companies develop animation and electronic games.

However, it will only be eligible for MSC Malaysia-status companies and they must also have foreign partners.

The MSC Malaysia Creative Content Centre (MAC3) Co-Production Fund is targeted to fund about 15 projects over the next two years and create 600 jobs.

"The MAC3 Creative Content Co-Production fund is to help accelerate the competency and capability of our MSC-status companies in the areas of talent and technology by working on quality projects with capable foreign partners," said MDeC chief executive officer Datuk Badlisham Ghazali in a press statement.

MDeC hopes to grow the fund size in the future. It now relies solely on direct government funding.

Badlisham also announced winners of the annual MSC Malaysia Intellectual Property (IP) Creators Challenge (MSC Malaysia IPCC) competition.

The intention of the MSC Malaysia IPCC, he said, is to nurture new talent in content creation and promote the creation of content suitable for global consumption.

He added that if the MSC Malaysia IPCC winners have the drive and potential, they can ask for money from the fund to develop their ideas further.

Badlisham believed that the MSC Malaysia IPCC is an answer for local entrepreneurs who are not able to expand development of their projects beyond the pilot stage due to funding constraints.

"Since the MSC Malaysia IPCC has become an annual event recognised by the local creative content community, it is becoming a platform for local talents to further explore their creativity in developing digital content on par or exceeding world standards," he added.

The creative multimedia industry with the size of the growing global market, currently valued at a whopping US$780 billion (RM2.75 billion). The global market pie for digital content includes, but not limited to, segments under education, entertainment, business and health.

The MSC Malaysia IPCC was initiated in 2006 and the competition is now into its fourth year.

RM3.8bil investment for science park
Saturday August 22, 2009

SHAH ALAM: Selangor State Development Corp (PKNS) has attracted RM3.8bil worth of investments via three investors for its Selangor Science Park 2 (SSP2) that is under development in Cyberjaya.

The investors are Q-Cell from Germany, the Andaman Group and Serba Sentosa Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metro Kajang Holdings Bhd.

SSP2 is a 1,300-acre mixed development project with gross development value of RM3bil which is expected to be completed between 10 and 15 years.

PKNS general manager Othman Omar said Q-Cell, the largest manufacturer of solar wafer and cells in the world, had started operations in SSP2 in May.

“The company is also collaborating with us to energise PKNS Gallery in SSP2,” he said yesterday after a memorandum of understanding signing ceremony with the investors, witnessed by Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.

Q-Cell plans to take up to 100 acres in SPP2 which will involve investment of about RM3bil.

The Andaman Group will develop another SEGi College campus, estimated to cost RM300mil. It had developed a similar campus in PKNS’ earlier project, Selangor Science Park 1, in Kota Damansara.

“Metro Kajang will collaborate with PKNS to develop our commercial and residential area in SSP2.

“In return, PKNS will jointly undertake a commercial development with Metro Kajang in Kajang town centre,” Othman said, adding that the land belonged to Metro Kajang.

Metro Kajang’s project in SSP2 will involve an investment of about RM500mil.

Going forward, Othman said PKNS was in serious talks with local and foreign investors to invest in SSP2. “We want our investors to be in line with the SSP2 concept of high-technology and environment-friendly industries,” he said.

SSP2 would be a low density and sustainable development, with over 20% of the area reserved for green areas and public parks.

HP’S INVESTMENT TO BUILD CAMPUS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN MALAYSIAN ECONOMY, SAYS NAJIB

KUALA LUMPUR, 13 OCTOBER 2008 - Technology giant HP has announced plans for a 60-acre sustainable campus in Malaysia’s Cyberjaya, which will be the largest facility of its kind in the world.

According to government agency Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) chief executive officer, Dato’ Badlisham Ghazali, the new facility is the single largest investment by a multi-national technology company in Malaysia and is expected to employ as many as 4,000 knowledge base workers in the next 10 years.

Badlisham said HP is working closely with MDeC to set world-class standards for information infrastructure. “The investment by a large multi-national company such as HP signals a strong commitment to our country and will bring a major economic and employment boost.”

Unique Functions

HP executive vice president and chief information officer, Randy Mott, said the campus would host multiple core functions in one integrated location, including an internal global application development centre for HP’s Global IT organisation, a state-of-the-art next generation data centre for outsourcing services customers, a professional center, and a call centre to support HP’s enterprise business customers worldwide.

He said that the global IT application development centre adds to HP’s existing internal network of centres in China, Costa Rica, India and Mexico.

In addition, the HP Cyberjaya campus – expected to be ready by early 2010 - would feature two rooms that include HP’s Halo Telepresence Solutions to allow a lifelike, dynamic, real-time video collaboration environment, to boost business performance, and reduce carbon emissions by cutting travel costs.

Mott added, “We’re pleased to partner with MDeC and the Malaysian Government on this initiative. For HP, Cyberjaya dramatically expands our presence in this fast-growing region, and offers us a developed infrastructure, strategic location, and multi-lingual talent pool.”

Glomac eyes more land in Cyberjaya
By Sharen Kaur Published: 2009/09/04

DEVELOPER Glomac Bhd (5020) might buy more land in Cyberjaya, Selangor following the success of its RM180 million flagship Glomac Cyberjaya project.

The first phase of Glomac Cyberjaya, comprising 39 units of three-storey and three-and-a-half storey shop offices worth RM64 million or more than RM1.45 million each were launched in late July.

Group executive vice-chairman Datuk Richard Fong said 75 per cent of the units were sold within a week.

"We were caught by surprise. We did not expect sales to move so fast. It shows the market is improving and there is demand for shopoffices in Cyberjaya. We will buy more land in Cyberjaya if demand for the properties pick up," Fong said.
Glomac had acquired 3.3ha of freehold land to develop Glomac Cyberjaya from land owner, Cyberview Sdn Bhd, for RM21.24 million in January.

"We still have 24 units of three-and-a-half story shopoffices worth RM40 million to sell. We are launching the units this month and expect sales to move as quickly," he told Business Times.

The final phase for Glomac Cyberjaya will include a data centre and a 15-storey office tower, worth a combined RM75 million.

Fong said the two buildings will be launched in early 2010 and Glomac is looking for serious en bloc buyers.

"We have been approached by some parties but there is nothing on the table yet," Fong said.

Glomac Cyberjaya is strategically placed in Cyberjaya and its immediate corporate neighbours are bigwigs like HSBC, DHL and Ericsson.

Cyberjaya office occupancy rate high
BusinessTimes

CYBERJAYA landowner Cyberview Sdn Bhd says that the average occupancy rate for offices in the MSC status area is at 94 per cent.

The demand for office space is so great that Cyberview will start work on SME Technopreneur Centre III a year ahead of schedule.

Cyberview had planned to start work on the third instalment of offices catered to small and medium enterprises in 2010.

Cyberview was set up by the government in 1996, with the Minister of Finance Inc owning 70 per cent and the remaining stakes held by different government agencies, which include the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC).

Between September 2007 and August 2008, the supply of office space in Cyberjaya had increased by another 1.05 million sq ft to 4.22 million sq ft.

Another additional 1.64 million sq ft of office space will be ready by the third quarter of 2009, bringing the total space for businesses in Cyberjaya to 5.86 million sq ft.

Cyberview managing director Redza Rafiq said interest in the intelligent city has also not waned, adding that MDeC is in talks with between five and six multinational corporations (MNCs) to set up base in the area. He did not elaborate.

There are 474 companies located in Cyberjaya, 30 of which are MNCs.

Meanwhile, the master developer of Cyberjaya, Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd, is also upbeat about its housing projects in Cyberjaya.

Demand is now shifting to out-of-town buyers from just those working and living in Cyberjaya, said Setia Haruman chief operating officer Lao Chok Keang.

The Emkay group owns 75 per cent of Setia Haruman, which was appointed as master developer of Cyberjaya in 1998.

Setia Haruman has developed some 3,000 houses, of which 250 are high-end developments while the rest are medium-cost housing.

To date, some 750 medium-cost houses and about 200 high-end units have been sold. More medium-cost houses are expected to be built in the area to meet demand for homes within the RM200,000 to RM500,000 bracket.

Cyberjaya to be divided into 12 zones similar to precincts in Putrajaya
Thursday September 24, 2009 By CHARLES FERNANDEZ

NEW signages for the Rezoning Structure Plan (CRSP) will be put up in Cyberjaya by the end of the year, after the details have been finalised with the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC).

Sepang Municipal Council (MPSp) president Azizan Mohd Sidin said as the CRSP was a federal government initiative, tenders for the project would be outsourced by the federal government.

The CRSP, which was passed during the council’s One-Stop-Centre (OSC) meeting in November last year, will see the country’s Information Technology and Intelligent City divided into 12 zones, similar to the precincts in Putrajaya.

“It is for the purpose of easy identification and postal delivery. Companies in Cyberjaya would be mentioned on the signages in the zone where they are located,” said Azizan.

Under the present arrangement, Azizan said each company placed its own signages and this was destroying the city’s landscape.

The gantries at strategic locations, which will include directional signages, were supposed to have been in place in June but had to be shelved.

As an example, the council headquarters, which is located in Cyber 1, would share the same directional signages as the Community Clubhouse and the Cyberpark, so the MPSp address would henceforth be Majlis Perbandaran Sepang, Persiaran Semarak Api, Cyber 1, 63200 Cyberjaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

The other addresses are: Cyber 3 (LimKokWing University, Satellite Farm, Measat); Cyber 4 (MKN Embassy, TM Net 2, TM Net, Invent Q Jaya, Ericsson, HSBC 2, HSBC, EBI); Cyber 5 (BMW, Fujitsu System, EB2, DHL, Glamorous Matrix, Prima 7, Prima Avenue, FSBM, CSP); Cyber 6 (District Cooling Plant, MCMC, Fire Station, City Command Centre, Sports Arena, SME 1, SME 2, Mustapha Kamal Building, NTT R&D Centre, EB3, Shell, Century Square, MDeC); Cyber 7 (Cyber Height Villa, Seri Puteri School, Flagship Village 1, Cyberview Garden, Setia Haruman, Cyberview Lodge Spa & Resort); Cyber 8 (Police Station), Cyber 9 (Cyberia Crescent, Smart School, Telecom); Cyber 11 (Universiti Multimedia, Cyberia, STP-A); and Cyber 12 (Neo Cyber, D’Cassia Apartments, D’Melor Apartments, Bus Terminal, CBD Perdana).

On another issue, he said heavy vehicles and school buses would no longer be allowed to be parked in housing areas.

Azizan said the council had received numerous complaints from residents on haphazard and roadside parking of lorries and school buses, leading to traffic congestion, especially in the morning and evening.

He said Development Planning department director Yunos Kashib had been tasked with identifying suitable areas for parking of the vehicles.

“We will have nine parking venues for these vehicles, with varying land areas, and there will be 24-hour security.

“It is a requirement by the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) for heavy vehicle and school bus owners to look for their own parking area, but the council is providing an extra service by giving them suitable places to park,” added Azizan.

He said the parking operations had been outsourced to four companies for three years with an option for a two-year extension.

Glomac plans projects worth RM550m
By Rupinder Singh Published: 2009/09/30

http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/glowmac/pix_topright

PROPERTY developer Glomac Bhd (5020) is looking to launch at least three new developments for the financial year ending April 30 2010, with a combined gross development value (GDV) of over RM550 million.

Group managing director Datuk FD Iskandar is optimistic that the local property market will improve by the second half of next year to boost sales.

It plans to launch the second phase of its RM180 million Glomac Cyberjaya project by the middle of next month.

The second phase comprises 24 units of shop offices with a GDV of RM50 million.
Glomac bought 8.1 acres of land in Cyberjaya in 2008 and was the first to offer three-and-half-storey shop offices there.

Also in the pipeline is a commercial project on 1.3 acre freehold land in Mutiara Damansara, Selangor, which has an estimated GDV of RM250 million.

The development, surrounded by the commercial hubs of Ikea, Tesco and The Curve, will encompass retail spaces, office suites and a corporate office.

Glomas will also launch the second phase of the Plaza Kelana Jaya, a land that formerly housed the famous Kelana Seafood Centre.

Iskandar said Glomac aims to launch the fourth phase of the Plaza Kelana Centre with a GDV of some RM250 million.

"The development will be on a 3.2 acre freehold land that includes an office block, a neighbourhood shopping mall and office suites," he told Business Times yesterday.

Also in the plans are the launch of another phase at its Saujana Utama township in Sg Buloh, Selangor, in November.

"In this financial year, we are looking to launch at least three new phases," said Iskandar, adding that two phases have already been launched this year with the first sold out and the second up to 90 per cent sold out.

Iskandar also revealed that Glomac is close to acquiring at least two new landbanks before the year-end.

He said the company is talking to several parties to acquire land namely in the Klang Valley for commercial development.

He said the new land will be small in size, but have a high GDV and fast turnaround of about four to five years.

Kaspersky Lab may set up R&D hub in Cyberjaya
By Zurinna Raja AdamPublished: 2009/10/16

RUSSIAN Internet security firm Kaspersky Lab may set up a research and design (R&D) centre in Cyberjaya as a hub for the Southeast Asian market.

The group is keen to expand in Asia where it enjoys a three-digit percentage annual growth. Kaspersky Lab now has an R&D centre in Russia, the US and China.

However, chief executive officer and co-founder Eugene Kaspersky said the group does not have a time-frame to set up the Malaysian centre.

"I don't want to make any empty promises as to when and how much we will invest for R&D centre here. But if there is a need, this is where we will be," he said in Shah Alam.

Yesterday, Kaspersky launched the Kaspersky Academy education programme and Kaspersky Research Centre at the University Technology Mara (UiTM) to facilitate exchange and share cyber security knowledge among tertiary students. Also present was UiTM vice-chancellor Tan Sri Prof Dr Ibrahim Abu Shah.

The Kaspersky Academy operates across four main areas, namely education, academic partnership, science and competition, to provide opportunities for young people to gain exposure in information security.

Much of the coursework is self-study with online discussions and mentoring.

The academy has had over 200,000 participants so far and is available in over 2,000 schools globally.

Meanwhile, in his lecture, Kaspersky said the alarming number of online threats now are aimed at making money rather than being a threat. One of the trends is to infect automated teller machines with Trojan horse computer viruses, thus giving criminals total access to money.

Unfortunately, the gaps in law, the reluctance of victims to tell the authorities, the difficulty in tracing anonymous professionals and the cross border international nature of cybercrime, makes it difficult to prosecute.

Kaspersky suggested having Internet passports for individuals, accreditation for businesses and the creation of an "Internet-Interpol".

Satyam Computer Services Ltd, a leading global consulting and information technology

CYBERJAYA: Satyam Computer Services Ltd, a leading global consulting and information technology services provider, has announced that its Global Solutions Centre (GSC) here is fully operational.

This marked the first phase of the rollout of Satyam's Global Delivery Campus in Malaysia.

Satyam founder and chairman B. Ramalinga Raju said the facility would become the company's largest software hub outside India.

"The GSC is already staffed by 300 (mostly Malaysian) IT engineers, who support Satyam's Asean, Middle Eastern and US customers," he told reporters after the GSC launch here.

Also present were Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, Deputy Science, Technology and Innovations Minister Datuk Kong Cho Ha, and Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Halim Ali and chief executive officer Datuk Badlisham Ghazali.

Ramalinga said Satyam's progress with its GSC accelerated consolidation of its Global Delivery Model 2.0, an integral part of the company's strategy to provide distributed delivery capability for global customers.

GDM 2.0 calls for components of a large-scale projects to be completed wherever it makes the most business sense, rather than having an entire programme take place in a single facility, he said.

This approach, according to him, delivers significant cycle time and cost reductions, in addition to quality enhancement.

Ramalinga said the Malaysia facility also reflected the company's commitment to create an alternative workforce, multicountry model and a global delivery approach offering customised business solutions.

He said the facility would be integrated with other Satyam's GSCs across the globe, serving as a major software development centre to bring solutions to market more quickly via the company's low-risk global delivery model.

Ramalinga said the facility is expected to create more than 500 jobs for Malaysian graduates over the next 12 months, with the number increasing to 2,000 in the next few years.

"We consider this facility to be a significant part of Satyam's commitment to multi-dimensional investments in Malaysia, an excellent alternative for solutions development," he said.

He also said that Malaysia was chosen because of the country's advanced infrastructure, rich IT talent pool, competitive cost environment and favourable business climate.

The latest facility is a high-tech centre featuring state-of-the art infrastructure and video-conferencing facilities.

Equipped with high-end security features such as biometric (fingerprint) identification, the GSC also has three training labs and round-the-clock access to Satyam's global knowledge repository.

The opening of the facility followed the signing of a memorandum of understanding in December last year between Satyam and MDeC, which oversees the MSC Malaysia programme.

Satyam's development and delivery centres in the United States, Canada, Britain, Hungary, Eqypt, the United Arab Emirates, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia serve 570 clients, including one-third of the US Fortune 500 companies.

Mahindra Satyam's global expansion begins in Cyberjaya
By Azlan Abu Bakar Published: 2009/12/02

http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/stayam/pix_topright

MAHINDRA Satyam, the new brand entity of India-based Satyam Computer Services Ltd, a global consulting and information technology services provider, has chosen Malaysia as the venue to kick off its international expansion.

Its senior vice-president for Asia Pacific, Rohit Gandhi, said its Global Solutions Centre (GSC) in Cyberjaya, Selangor, will serve as the group's largest technology development and delivery facility outside of India.

The group's other similar centres are located in the US, Canada, Brazil, the UK, Hungary, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, India, China, Singapore and Australia, servicing more than 400 customers worldwide.

"As a country-specific investment strategy, we will move more global software development and delivery operations to the GSC to serve customers from all around the world including those in Malaysia," he said.

Rohit said this latest development takes place five months after Tech Mahindra Ltd gained control of the Hyderabad-based software company, when the latter plunged into a financial crisis in January 2009 following accusations that Satyam had inflated revenue and profit figures for several years.

Mahindra Satyam is part of the US$6.3 billion (RM21.36 billion) Mahindra Group, a global industrial conglomerate and one of the top 10 industrial firms based in India.

Speaking to reporters after announcing Mahindra Satyam's expansion plan, Rohit said the new facility will help boost the group's range and export of software development services in the global market.

"By focusing on providing a full range of both mainstream business and technology functions like remote infrastructure management outsourcing, business process outsourcing, software services as well as some specialised software testing, the new GSC substantially ramps up our range and export of offshore delivery capabilities from Malaysia," he said.

Rohit said since Tech Mahindra took over Satyam last April, the group has managed to rope in 40 new customers worldwide, noting that it did not lose a single client in Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific.

"The only customer that pulled out from the group's client list was a US-based financial institution," he said, noting that it currently serves 20 customers in Malaysia.

Rohit said the group is in talks with at least eight potential clients from Malaysia and abroad,

"We expect to conclude some of these deals by the first half of 2010," he said, adding that the group has plans to penetrate other markets in the region and set up operations there soon.

"We have concluded phase one that covers Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. In phase two, which will be implemented soon, we plan to penetrate markets like the Philippines and Vietnam," he said.

The RM120 million project which involves the CONSTRUCTION [] of a 323,000 sq ft building, will also mark the first green building in Cyberjaya.

Emkay Group chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal told a press conference here today said that the building would be leased out to Shell Shared Service Centre (SSSC).

Having a green building, he said, would not only increase the asset value of the property but also lower the operational cost through conservation of energy and water.

"The move towards green building is very important as it is going to provide a healthier and safer environment for the occupants.

"Green TECHNOLOGY [] is the way of the future. It will change not only your approach towards the design and construction of property but also in the way we occupy and manage property," he said after the signing of the lease agreement between Joyful Gateaway and SSSC Kuala Lumpur Sdn Bhd.

Shell Malaysia chairman Datuk Saw Choo Boon said the signing of the lease agreement confirmed a planned change in Shell Malaysia's physical footprints.

The completion and occupation of the building by 2011 and the same of its accomodations in KL Sentral by 2012 would be the outcome of a rigorous evaluation process that is based on Shell's technical, environmental, social and financial requirements, he said.

"With these two offices, Shell businesses and service centres in the Klang Valley will occupy only two premises from the 10 physical locations today.

"This move will enable us to find synergies and cost savings through economies of scale. We will also be able to gain greater collaboration, thus the ability to respond faster to the needs of the customers in the region," he said.

The Cyberjaya building will have five levels of office space and three levels of sub-basement for car parking.

The original concept for the building was based on two individual office blocks flanking a central courtyard. However, due to the end-user's requirement, it has morphed into a U-shaped building where the connection between the two blocks are provided at the rear, thus maintaining the look of two separate buildings from the front. — Bernama

The Emkay group of companies, controlled by property tycoon Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar, has secured a RM120 million loan from RHB Islamic Bank Bhd to finance its green development project in Cyberjaya, Selangor.

The deal, entered via Joyful Gateway Sdn Bhd - a joint venture company between MKN Embassy Development Sdn Bhd and partner Lucky Cottage Sdn Bhd, is for the construction of the Shell Shared Service Centre.

MKN Embassy is a 60:40 partnership between Emkay Group and Bangalore's Embassy Group.

The project, financed through RHB Islamic's Istisna Ijarah term financing is expected to be completed by early 2011.

Total estimated construction and related cost of the new building is RM151.4 million, which houses five levels of office space and three levels of sub-basement parking lots.

It will be the first in Malaysia to have the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) gold certification. It will also be the first green building for Cyberjaya.

LEED is a US-standard green rating given by the US Green Building Council.

Speaking at the signing ceremony in Cyberjaya yesterday, RHB Banking group managing director Datuk Tajuddin Atan said RHB Islamic recognises the potential of green technology in reviving the state of the economy and the environment.

"We are delighted to be part of this green project. With Joyful Gateway's support from its parent company, Emkay Group, and the global presence of the Shell Group, we are optimistic this project will be a success," he said.

The agreement was witnessed by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Mustapha Kamal and Embassy Group of India chairman Jitendra Mohandas Zirwani.

Shell Shared Service Centre Sdn Bhd will lease the building with 323,000 sq ft of office space for 10 years, with the option to extend another five years starting 2011.

The new centre will enable Shell to centralise its businesses and service centres in the Klang Valley to only two premises from the current 10 locations.

Its other centre will be located at the Kuala Lumpur Sentral in Brickfields, which is set to be ready by late 2012.

Cyberjaya going green
By OH ING YEEN Wednesday December 16, 2009

CYBERJAYA will be going green with the implementation of its Green Roadmap.

At the recent Cyberview annual media briefing 2009, Cyberview Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Redza Rafiq revealed that the government-owned company has embarked on a district-cooling system as an initiative to lower the cost of doing business in Cyberjaya, to remain competitive and to preserve the environment.

Cyberview Sdn Bhd is a government-owned company and landowner of Cyberjaya.

The district-cooling system is carried out via its wholly-oned subsidiary Pendinginan Megajana.

“In terms of energy and savings, district-cooling can reduce electricity usage by more than 65% as compared with traditional air conditioning systems.

“Some RM58mil will be invested for the expansion of the system in the next two years,” he said.

He added that green technology was seen as the way forward to ensure the cybercity’s sustainable development.

“Cyberjaya has been earmarked to play a key role in fulfilling this initiative.

“Cyberjaya, together with our neighbour Putrajaya, will be developed as Pioneer Townships in Green Technology as well as a showcase for the development of other townships.

“Before the tabling of Budget 2010, Cyberview had submitted a strategic plan and a roadmap of green initiatives for Cyberjaya,” he said.

The green roadmap consists of five categories:

·Land/ surface

Planning and building standards, natural areas and transportation will be taken into account to ensure that development in Cyberjaya is based on measures set out in its township development plan with the objective of creating a physically attractive and clean community.

·Energy

This will encompass renewable energy, conservation, education and civic leadership.

Cyberview plans to undertake a study to evaluate the options to incorporate green standards into planning and building guidelines. Renewable energy projects in the community will be supported.

·Water

This includes water conservation, rainwater harvesting, brown water usage and landscaping practices.

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2009/12/16/central/m_02cyberjaya.jpg

“Cyberview will also encourage the community to play a part in improving the quality of water through prudent usage of fertilisers and pesticides, water conservation, usage of phosphorous-free laundry detergents and appropriate disposal of grease and fat,” Redza said.

·Waste and recycling

Cyberjaya will carry out education and recycling programmes as a means to reduce the amount of waste produced in Cyberjaya.

·Air

Programmes will be conducted to encourage the community to take part to improve air quality and reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions through energy conservation, and proper disposal of hazardous materials.

Wednesday December 16, 2009
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2009/12/16/central/5147544&sec=central

NEW developments in the southern part of Cyberjaya will serve as a catalyst to creative multimedia development, Cyberview Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Redza Rafiq said at the recent Cyberview annual media briefing.

Reporters were taken on a bus ride around Cyberjaya to view the new developments.

Redza named AMD and KRU Studios as among the companies that will make Cyberjaya their business entre.

“Projects highlighted during the tabling of Budget 2010 that will make Cyberjaya a more vibrant and lively cybercity include affordable housing, hypermarket, business complex, parking lots, recreational centres and schools, as well as a more efficient public transport service.

“Efforts to increase business, commercial and recreational activities will also be intensified,” he added.

On the public transport service, he said Cyberjaya was serviced by the Dedicated Transportation System (DTS).

MKN Embassy Techzone Phase 2 GDV at RM800m
by Financial Daily
Thursday, 09 April 2009 23:34

CYBERJAYA: The Emkay Group expects the second phase of MKN Embassy Techzone to have a sales or gross development value (GDV) of RM800 million upon completion within five years.

Emkay chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar said work on the second phase was scheduled to start this year. The total built-up will be two million square feet, comprising six office blocks of between six and 18 storeys.

He added that it was one of the measures the property company, together with Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd and Cyberview Sdn Bhd, was undertaking to increase office space in Cyberjaya.

“Currently, we have a total of 4.7 million sq ft of office space in Cyberjaya. By the end of this year, we will see a total of 5.5 million sq ft of office space as there would be an additional 800,000 sq ft available.

“We are projecting another five million sq ft of office space in the next five years. Emkay alone will provide three million sq ft and that’s why I am quite confident,” he told reporters here after the launch of Block D, the fourth building of MKN Embassy Techzone Phase 1.

Emkay’s 75%-subsidiary Setia Haruman is the master developer of Cyberjaya, while Cyberview is a government-owned company and landowner of Cyberjaya.

In his keynote address at the event, Chief Secretary to the government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan urged the Sepang Municipal Council to revise the parking ratio of 1:320 gross sq ft to 1:500 nett sq ft, to further encourage development in the township.

The MKN Embassy Techzone has two phases and is jointly developed by MKN Embassy Development Sdn Bhd, a 60:40 joint-venture company between Emkay Group and Embassy Group of India.

With a GDV of about RM400 million, Phase 1, consisting of four blocks of six-storey office buildings with total built-up of one million sq ft, is being built on a 4.08-hectare land. Work started in December 2006 and is scheduled to be completed early-2010.

Block A and B of MKN Embassy Techzone, which is owned by Amanah Raya Bhd, are leased to the Public Service Department (JPA) and Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (Mampu), respectively.

Block C and D are still under construction, and will be leased to the Lands and Mines Office (Pejabat Tanah dan Galian) and another government agency, respectively.

“In light of the downturn, it is very difficult to get tenants and that’s why JPA and Mampu came in. However, they are only renting, and they might leave a few years later. It will slowly become an IT (information technology) hub with more ICT companies establishing their offices here,” Mustapha said.

Embassy Group’s chairman Jitu Virwani said the India-based company saw the opportunity to grow in Malaysia as many companies were looking to set their base here.

The Embassy Group, which specialises in developing information and communication technology (ICT) business parks, is the largest owner of the office space in Bangalore and boasts of tenants such as IBM, Fidelity Investments, Yahoo and LG Soft.

MKN-Embassy Techzone @ Cyberjaya

Cyberjaya is about to experience a second re-awakening, said executive chairman of MK Land Holdings Bhd Mustapha Kamal. Although the intelligent city was launched 10 years ago, it is currently undergoing a second wave of development.

Mustapha’s Emkay Group and India’s Embassy Group will jointly develop Cyberjaya’s upcoming information technology (IT) business park, which he is confident will attract many multinational and local companies.

Called MKN-Embassy Techzone, the first phase, which is expected to cost over RM300 million, of the park will feature two blocks of buildings with each offering 250,000sq ft of office space within a 4ha site.

The first block is expected to be complete by January next year and the second by April.

The Embassy Group, which specializes in developing ICT business parks, is the largest owner of office space in Bangalore and boasts tenants such as IBM, Fidelity Investments, Yahoo and LG Soft.

MKN Embassy Development Sdn Bhd, the joint-venture company undertaking the project, hopes to entice several of these companies to Cyberjaya.

The first 10 years saw the placement of first-class infrastructure and facilities but the next five will be a marketing phase to investors, said Mustapha, adding that several multinational companies have already shown interest.

Directional signs will make driving a breeze in Cyberjaya
Story and photo by CHARLES FERNANDEZ

WELCOME to Cyberjaya. The next time you drive into the cybercity, well-planned and easy-to-read directional signs will help you find your way around easily.

These signs will guide visitors to unfamiliar places, which can be an office building, bus terminal or any other important landmarks in the city.

Sepang Municipal Council (MPSepang) president Azizan Mohd Sidin said these easy-to-read signs would help solve the challenge of having to locate a specific destination as it served as tenant directories in improving traffic flow.

Two of the four gantries proposed for Cyberjaya, each costing about RM130,000 are already in place along Jalan Persiaran APEC, one close to the MDeC, a landmark building and another at the junction of Persiaran APEC-Jalan Semarak Api.

http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz317/rockyroad80/m_07signages.jpg

Azizan said two more gantries would be up in the near future and one would definitely be erected at the Persiaran APEC-Persiaran Rimba Permai junction, which is the main entry point into Cyberjaya.

He said the RM400,000 gantry would span the whole six-lane carriageway fronting the Dell Global Business Centre and the fire station while the fourth gantry would be in Jalan Persiaran Tasik.

“The use of directional signs not only reinforces the property’s image, the signage also helps direct traffic and control parking,’’ he said in an interview.

Presently some road shoulders are “littered” with directional signboards put up in the early development stage of the township, prompting the council to come up with a better planned signboards.

“The individual directional signboards put up by companies would be removed in stages as and when proper signs are put up by the council and in certain locations by Cyberview Sdn Bhd, the landowners of Cyberjaya.

Cyberview are also working together with us in making the city more conducive for foreign investors,’’ said Azizan.

Before the two gantries and directional signs were up, there were more than 70 company directional signages placed along road shoulders, some obscured by bigger ones.

So far, 21 have been removed as company names were included on the council’s signages in the areas they are located.

He said the main development thrust was to provide a quantum leap for Cyberjaya to become a leading multimedia hub attracting world-class media and IT companies.

Azizan said entities like the HSBC M’Sia, Multimedia University (MMU), CBD Perdana and MDeC, would not be placed on directional signages since they were landmark buildings.

“For new companies that want to have their names on the directional signages, a minimal annual fee will be imposed by the council,” said Azizan.

When asked about the Cyberjaya’s Re-zoning Structure Plan (CRSP) which was passed during the council’s One-Stop-Centre (OSC) meeting in November 2008, Azizan said since only 30% of Cyberjaya’s landbank was developed, the council would propose setting up the new signages where there is much development.

The re-zoning structure plan in the intelligent city is for easy identification of companies in the zone where they are located and also for accurate postal delivery.

“We have 12 zones but not all of them are developed.

“Therefore, there is no point in putting up a CRSP or Area Identification Signage (AIS) at vacant zones.

“Even if there is one development in a new zone, we will put up a sign as and when a need arises,’’ said Azizan.

The 12 zones will be identified as Cyber 1 to Cyber 12, similar to the Precincts in Putrajaya. As an example, the council headquarters, which is located in Cyber 1, will share the same CRSP/AIS as the Community Clubhouse and the Cyberpark, so the MPSp address would henceforth be Majlis Perbandaran Sepang, Persiaran Semarak Api, Cyber 1, 63200 Cyberjaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

The other addresses are: Cyber 3 (LimKokWing University, Satellite Farm, Measat); Cyber 4 (MKN Embassy, TM Net 2, TM Net, Ericsson, HSBC 2, HSBC, EBI); Cyber 5 (BMW, Fujitsu System, EB2, DHL, Glamorous Matrix, Prima 7, Prima Avenue, FSBM, CSP); Cyber 6 (District Cooling Plant, MCMC, Fire Station, City Command Centre, Sports Arena, SME 1, SME 2, Mustapha Kamal Building, NTT R&D Centre, EB3, Shell, Century Square, MDeC); Cyber 7 (Cyber Height Villa, Sekolah Seri Puteri, Flagship Village 1, Cyberview Garden, Setia Haruman, Cyberview Lodge Spa & Resort); Cyber 8 (Police Station), Cyber 9 (Cyberia Crescent, Smart School, Telecom); Cyber 11 (Universiti Multimedia, Cyberia, STP-A); and Cyber 12 (Neo Cyber, D’Cassia Apartments, D’Melor Apartments, Bus Terminal, CBD Perdana).

Finally!!...no more to many littered signboards which has been confusing all this years...:banana:

KUALA LUMPUR, 13 OCTOBER 2008 - Technology giant HP has announced plans for a 60-acre sustainable campus in Malaysia’s Cyberjaya, which will be the largest facility of its kind in the world.

According to government agency Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) chief executive officer, Dato’ Badlisham Ghazali, the new facility is the single largest investment by a multi-national technology company in Malaysia and is expected to employ as many as 4,000 knowledge base workers in the next 10 years.

Badlisham said HP is working closely with MDeC to set world-class standards for information infrastructure. “The investment by a large multi-national company such as HP signals a strong commitment to our country and will bring a major economic and employment boost.”

Unique Functions

HP executive vice president and chief information officer, Randy Mott, said the campus would host multiple core functions in one integrated location, including an internal global application development centre for HP’s Global IT organisation, a state-of-the-art next generation data centre for outsourcing services customers, a professional center, and a call centre to support HP’s enterprise business customers worldwide.

He said that the global IT application development centre adds to HP’s existing internal network of centres in China, Costa Rica, India and Mexico.

In addition, the HP Cyberjaya campus – expected to be ready by early 2010 - would feature two rooms that include HP’s Halo Telepresence Solutions to allow a lifelike, dynamic, real-time video collaboration environment, to boost business performance, and reduce carbon emissions by cutting travel costs.

Mott added, “We’re pleased to partner with MDeC and the Malaysian Government on this initiative. For HP, Cyberjaya dramatically expands our presence in this fast-growing region, and offers us a developed infrastructure, strategic location, and multi-lingual talent pool.”

Emkay wants Cyberjaya land to build office towers
By Zaidi Isham Ismail Published: 2010/09/13
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/MAZRITA/Article/

http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/MAZRITA/pix_topright

PRIVATELY-HELD property developer Emkay Group is on the lookout for land in Cyberjaya, Selangor, to build office towers.

Its senior general manager Mazrita Mazlan said that office space was in demand and easier to sell, giving good returns to the group as foreign multinational corporations liked to buy floor by floor en bloc.

"Office space is what the market wants right now as the government does not have enough buildings to house their ministries and agencies such as the Department of Environment and the Public Service department. Also, Cyberjaya is near Putrajaya with easy and fast connectivity," Mazrita told Business Times.

"Furthermore, office space which is usually sold en bloc is hassle-free because documentation process is under one company, making it faster to process at local government agencies compared to shop-houses," she added.

Mazrita said the group recently bought 1.4ha in Cyberjaya for RM7 million, on which it plans to build another two to three office blocks or special purpose buildings.

"We have sufficient experience to build office towers, such as our completed RM100 million Bangunan Mustapha Kamal in Cyberjaya and the RM350 million Menara Mustapha Kamal in Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya.

"But we plan to build office towers cautiously and will first undertake feasibility studies to see the project's viability," she said.

Mazrita added that some international firms, especially information technology (IT), find it cumbersome to buy land and build their own offices.

"They would rather tender out construction of the buildings and then rent or sell them to investors."

The Emkay group is owned and controlled by property tycoon Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar, who is also the executive chairman and dominant stakeholder of associate company MK Land Holdings Bhd.

He holds 48.7 per cent of MK Land via privately-held MKN Holdings Sdn Bhd, which in turn is one of 15 companies owned by Mustapha grouped under the Emkay stable.

Emkay associate company Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd is also the master developer of Cyberjaya.

Mazrita believes that Cyberjaya is the place to be as it is home to 20,000 students, out of which half are foreigners.

It is also a workplace for 19,000 workers spread across 50 MSC Malaysia-compliant buildings spanning 5.8 million sq ft.

"Property price in Cyberjaya is competitive at RM350 per sq ft compared with other competitors at RM450 per sq ft, and rental yield here is 7 per cent per year," said Mazrita.

UEM Land to launch Symphony Hills Phase 1
By Sharen KaurPublished: 2010/07/30
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/UEM29-2/Article/index_html#ixzz0v9bGrWZc

http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/UEM29-2/pix_topright

UEM Land Holdings Bhd (5148) is launching phase one of Symphony Hills, a RM1 billion five-year residential project in Cyberjaya, and is confident demand will be strong.

In fact, it expects to sell all 122 superlink houses, townhouses and town villas that will be launched this weekend. Prices range from RM1 million to as much as RM2.3 million per unit.

Managing director Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim is optimistic of strong sales judging from the demand shown by both locals and expatriates in the Klang Valley, especially in Cyberjaya.

"We feel Symphony Hills is hitting the market at the right time. There is Maju Expressway improving connectivity between Cyberjaya and Kuala Lumpur.

"Cyberjaya has announced several new international firms coming on board. These include Fortune 500 companies, which will spur demand for new housing. Cyberjaya is going to fly," he said.
Symphony Hills will feature 450 houses. The project will showcase the connected intelligent community (CIC) concept of state-of-the-art technology and high-speed fibre optic infrastructure.

UEM Land is partnering Mesiniaga Bhd and Cisco Malaysia to develop Symphony Hills, which is the first residential development for the company outside of Nusajaya in Johor.

Each house at the 98ha Symphony Hills will have strata landed status, allowing residents to maintain certain aspects of the project from landscaping to security.

The project, which will be certified green, will also have a floating clubhouse incorporating green technology for rainwater harvesting.

"Although the prices are steep, our margins are very mediocre. We won't get 30 per cent to 40 per cent margin, but the satisfaction will come from being the first developer here to offer such a community.

"A lot of budget is being planned on the ICT (information and communications technology) component. We believe in value. We will make decent margins in the next few phases once we have delivered the first batch of houses," he said.

UEM Land wants to buy more land in Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Kota Kinabalu to expand.

Published: 2010/10/02
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/20101002003439/Article/

SINCE its inception 15 years ago, Cyberjaya has come a long way to become the country’s premier information, communications and technology (ICT) hub, with the Emkay Group being one of the initiative’s key drivers from Day One.

The group, which has contributed in fulfilling Cyberjaya’s needs for office space, commercial and residential units — is here to stay and play a firmer role, its senior executive said.

Spearheaded by its founder and group executive chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar, the privately-held Emkay group is one of the property players that believes in the development of Cyberjaya and will continue to consolidate its position in the country’s ICT heartland.

Emkay Group senior general manager Jayasangaran Dhanapal said the group had to date invested close to RM1 billion on various projects there with a net lettable area spanning over 1.1 million sq ft that was fully snapped up by government ministries and multinational corporations.

Cyberjaya is now home to more than 1,200 civil servants, who had moved from space-strapped Putrajaya. As at June 2010, it is now the home ground to a daylight population of more than 42,000 people from 26,000 in 2006.

Cyberjaya is also a workplace for 19,000 workers spread across 50 MSC Malaysia status-compliant buildings spanning 5.8 million sq ft operated by the likes of HSBC, DHL, Shell, Motorola, Ericsson, Satyam, Dell and many more.

Out of the 42,000 people, some 40 per cent are students from the Lim Kok Wing University, Multimedia University and the Cyberjaya University of Medical Sciences.

“We will continue to make available another two million sq ft at our MKN Techzone project under Phase 2 by 2014.

“We are now in talks with various government ministries, local and foreign multinational corporations which are keen to take up the additional area. MKN Techzone in Cyberjaya is the place to be in,” Jayasangaran told Business Times in Cyberjaya recently.

What makes MKN Techzone in Cyberjaya tick?

Jayasangaran said MKN Techzone continues to be the location of choice due to its close proximity to the Putrajaya administrative centre of about 2km through the Putrajaya link.

There are plans by master developer of Cyberjaya, Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd, to have additional access to the Maju Expressway that will directly connect to Kuala Lumpur City Centre. The highway has markedly reduced travel time to only 20 minutes to Cyberjaya.

The proposed new link will further enhance the accessibility to MKN Techzone, a project launched by Emkay in December 2006.

MKN Techzone also hosts various facilities such as cafetaria with a seating capacity of 250 at one time, 6 stalls, a day care centre which can house about 60 babies, MAMPU and Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam.

It also has a dedicated RM26 million multi-level carpark with more than 1,000 surface and basement carparks.

It will also build five blocks of hostels with more than 3,000 beds. Construction is due to start by the end of the year.

A cluster of 100,000 sq ft of retail development is also in the pipeline for development in MKN Techzone.

“Having experience in building office spaces and handling the requirements, processes and documentation of various government departments and multinational companies, we are now more than ready to welcome them,” said Jayasangaran.

The Emkay Group is now poised to be the specialist in office building development, he added.

Asia's 1st International Aerospace And Science Discovery Centre To Be Completed By 2015
October 07, 2010 23:33 PM
http://www.bernama.com/bernama/state_news/news.php?cat=ct&id=533513

CYBERJAYA, Oct 7 (Bernama) -- Asia's first International Aerospace and Science Discovery Centre, to be built by the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) in collaboration with Advanced Science Education Asia Sdn Bhd, in Cyberjaya is expected to be completed by 2015.

PKNS general manager Othman Omar said the centre would be built on a 12ha site in the Selangor Science Park 2 (SSP2) here, but the exact location had not been identified as they were considering two options at the moment.

"We are still working on the details (of the project) but the concept is to work together with other space agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) and the Soviet Space Agency to develop this centre," he told reporters after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two parties, here, Thursday.

Also present were Malaysia's first astronaut Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, who is also the chairman of Advanced Science Education Asia Sdn Bhd, and five other astronauts, Klaus-Dietrich from Germany, Sergey Treschev from Russia, Mirsolaw Hermaszewski from Poland, Soyeon Yi from Korea and Vladimir Lyakhov from Russia who were in town for the XXIII International Association of Space Explorers Planetary Congress.

Othman said SSP2 was chosen for the centre due to its strategic location as it was easily accessible via private and public transport, and for its science and technology characteristics, such as the solar city, green buildings, sustainable development and other more environment-friendly facilities.

He said the project was also part of their corporate social responsibility, aimed at providing science education to Malaysians, especially children, apart from rebranding the Science Park.

"This collaboration will benefit all parties, including the public who will visit the centre to gain knowledge" he added.

Sheikh Muszaphar said the centre would help inculcate love for science among people from a young age in the effort to produce more scientists.

"I've always been looking for a place to establish such a centre where people can learn about astronomy and aerospace science under one roof.

"I also have many friends in other space agencies with whom I hope to form a network of cooperation in the futuristic field, aerospace and science and technology," he added.

HP launches Cyberjaya hub
Published: 2010/10/13
http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/hipo12/Article/

http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/hipo12/pix_topright

HEWLETT-PACKARD Co (HP), the world's largest technology company, has officially launched its state-of-the-art, multi-purpose global centre in Cyberjaya.

The centre is also the largest facility of its kind and the single biggest investment in the country by a multinational technology company.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who officiated at the launch, said the investment by HP further strengthens the success of MSC Malaysia.

He said Malaysia was now seen as a strong and viable destination for information and communications technology (ICT) investments.

"This new facility reinforces MSC Malaysia's standing once again as a prime location for shared services outsourcing (SSO), with over 200 companies already calling it home. Almost 140 foreign and over 60 local companies perform various SSO activities," Najib said in his speech yesterday.

HP did not disclose the amount of its investment in the centre, but its chief information officer Randy Mott said the sum was part of the US$1 billion (RM3 billion) investment the US-based company announced in June this year to help transform its enterprise services business.

Based on previous news reports, the global centre was expected to provide up to 4,000 job opportunities for knowledge workers over the next medium term.

The global centre in Cyberjaya will be home to one of six HP Best Shore hubs in the world, aimed mainly at serving the enterprise market and assisting enterprises looking to modernise their information technology systems. The other five HP Best Shore hubs are located in China, India, the Phillippines, Bulgaria and Costa Rica.

"This campus is a combination of best-in-class technology, business suport and services," said Mott.

The global centre will also be home to one of five internal HP Global Application Development and Support Centres as well as one of eight internal HP Finance Centres of Excellence.

"With the addition of the Global Centre Campus in Cyberjaya, I am heartened by HP's continued commitment to the country.

"Not only because it demonstrates Malaysia's attractiveness and competitiveness as a global ICT hub, but also because of the fabulous opportunity that a facility like this will bring in terms of knowledge sharing and technology transfer," Najib said.

During the launch, Najib reiterated that MSC Malaysia will soon end its second phase of development and that the results of the project have been "more than satisfactory".

"Within the period of 14 years, the MSC initiative has created over 2,500 MSC-status companies with a combined contribution of more than RM35 billion to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).

"A total of more than 100,000 high-value jobs were created and it has attracted investments of more than RM27 billion, of which 60 per cent were from foreign direct investments," he added.

Sepang council to focus on towns near KLIA
MAYOR SPEAKS MOHD SAYUTHI BAKAR - SEPANG
Wednesday November 3, 2010

Rapid development: An aerial view of Cyberjaya which enjoys
a development boom compared with surrounding towns.

TOWNSHIPS like Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, Dengkil and Kota Wawasan will be given special focus in the development process to narrow the gap with Cyberjaya.

Residents in the municipality have been complaining about the development gap between Cyber-jaya and its surrounding areas.

With this, it will provide the needed work force for the expanding Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Since the surrounding areas of KLIA will be turned into an aeropolis (airport city) by the private sector, the council will stand to gain from its development and the people to enjoy better living standards.

However, the Sepang Municipal Council’s (MPS) priorities remain with basic needs.

The residents have forwarded their complaints and we will respond by providing them with essential things like a good transportation system, health care and basic infrastructure.

Primarily, our focus is on a quick-win solution — the promise of a good delivery system.

Mushrooming of illegal cybercafes in Dengkil, Kota Warisan and Sungai Pelek is another sore point for the council as we are fighting a losing battle against these operators.

Raiding these outlets is not the answer as the initiative to fight these establishments should involve the Malaysian Commu-nications and Multimedia Commission and Telekom Malaysia.

A joint and comprehensive approach should see better results than just MPS raiding the outlets alone.

What the council wants to achieve is two-prong - long-term results in the fight against illegal cybercafes and goals that are achievable in short-term periods, such as providing basic infrastructure.

We also acknowledge the need for extensive planning depending on an area’s locality.

As a side note, the council will get tough with housing developers who flout the law by going against their development blueprint.

SP Setia to launch RM3b project in Cyberjaya
By Sharen Kaur Published: 2011/03/03
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/SETIA2/Article/index_html

THE property market in Cyberjaya is proving too hard to ignore for SP Setia Bhd (8664)as the developer is taking a second stab at the growing area.

Malaysia's biggest developer by sales will launch a RM3 billion eco-themed project in Cyberjaya, Selangor, early next year.

"Cyberjaya is a market you must not ignore. We are looking at 3,000 to 4,000 expatriates working there who need housing," chief executive officer Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin said in a briefing in Cyberjaya yesterday.

"We will be targeting mainly the senior staff of multinational companies and Malaysians who want to invest or live here," he said.
Cyberjaya is the base for many multinational companies' support centres. Chipmaker AMD, for instance, recently opened an office that will support the finance and IT needs of its global operations.

SP Setia's project will be called Setia Eco Glades and it will feature 2,437 units of superlink houses, semi-detached homes, bungalows, condominiums and shoplots.

It has partnered Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd, the master developer of the Cyberjaya Flagship Zone for the project. SP Setia will hold 70 per cent of the joint venture while Setia Haruman holds the rest.

The joint venture is buying 107.2ha of land from Setia Haruman for RM420.4 million or RM36 per square foot.

This is the second attempt by SP Setia to buy land in Cyberjaya. In 2007, it agreed on a deal to buy 63.18ha from Setia Haruman for RM190.6 million but this fell through in 2008.

Liew said SP Setia aims to price its semi-detached units and bungalows from RM2 million and RM3 million, respectively, similar to homes at its Setia Eco Park development in Shah Alam.

The first phase of the project, comprising condominiums and semi-detached homes, is targeted to be launched by the first quarter of next year.

"We are bullish on sales. Cyberjaya has ready infrastructure," Liew said.

On funding, Liew said SP Setia will partly borrow from banks.

Developer’s green concept building earns gold certification
By JADE CHAN Friday April 1, 2011

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2011/4/1/central/m_13building_a.jpg

Green building: Among the building’s green features are using materials with
higher recyclable content and energy efficient equipment, and enforcing
water efficiency strategy through a rainwater harvesting system.

PROPERTY developer Emkay Group celebrated a new achievement with the opening of Bangunan Lestari Kumpulan Emkay (BLKE) in Cyberjaya — the first building in Malaysia accredited with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification.

LEED is an internationally recognised green building certification system developed by the US Green Building Council.

It is a third-party certification programme and a widely accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.

The LEED green building rating features four levels of certification — Platinum, Gold, Silver and Certification.

he BLKE, which was launched by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, will be occupied by Shell Business Service Centre Sdn Bhd under a 10+five-year lease agreement.

Emkay Group director Fazwinna Mustapha Kamal said the BLKE marks the group’s move from low-cost development to high-end development with Grade A buildings purpose built green building.

Joyful Gateway Sdn Bhd project coordinator R. Balasundram highlighted that the building was designed to conserve energy and natural resources, provide for a healthier and safe environment, improve the quality of human life, and increase the productivity of its occupants.
