Sime Darby Property Berhad has broken ground on its Vision Business Park (VBP), the latest industrial development within Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV2.0). This project is part of the MVV2.0 Heartbeat Project and is poised to strengthen Negeri Sembilan’s position as a key industrial hub in Malaysia.

\n\n

Spanning 760 acres with an expected gross development value (GDV) of RM2.4 billion, VBP is anticipated to generate 15,000 job opportunities, contributing to the state’s economic expansion. The project aligns with the state’s economic vision of attracting RM294 billion in investments and creating 600,000 jobs. VBP is also part of a strategic step in realising the phased development of MVV2.0, which spans 379,100 acres in Negeri Sembilan.

\n\n

“Vision Business Park is a key step in our commitment to industrial development, supporting Negeri Sembilan’s economic transformation. As a future-ready industrial hub, VBP will attract businesses, create jobs and strengthen the state’s position as an industrial growth centre,” said Dato’ Seri Azmir Merican, group managing director and CEO of Sime Darby Property. “Building on the success of Hamilton Nilai City, operational since 2021, VBP supports the growth of light and medium industries, driving innovation and expansion.”

\n\n

VBP features an 80:20 industrial-to-commercial ratio, offering 623 acres for industrial opportunities and 137 acres for commercial businesses that cater to businesses of all sizes. The development provides a comprehensive industrial ecosystem, featuring ready-built factories, industrial plots, shop offices and research & development (R&D) centres, designed to support growing businesses.

\n\n

VBP is designed with sustainability in mind, setting a new benchmark for industrial zones. The incorporation of green and blue lifestyle linkages enhances the business environment with integrated green spaces, water features and eco-friendly infrastructure.

\n\n

Positioned within MVV2.0, VBP benefits from direct access to the Nilai-Labu-Enstek Road (NLE), facilitating seamless transportation to key industrial and logistics hubs such as Nilai Inland Port, KLIA and KLIA 2. In addition, the NLE Road connects VBP to the North South Expressway (NSE), enhancing logistics efficiency for regional and international trade.

The Pan Borneo Highway (PBH) project was announced in 2013 by the Malaysian Federal Government, which aims to build a road network connecting the world’s third largest island - Borneo Island including two Malaysian States, Sabah and Sarawak, with Brunei and the Kalimantan region in Indonesia. The construction works in Sarawak were officially launched in 2015 comprising 11 construction work packages, while the Sabah portion was launched in 2016 with another 35 construction work packages.

\n\n

The Pan Borneo Highway acts as the backbone of road linkages in Sabah and Sarawak, and is expected to create multiplier effects in terms of tourism, infrastructure development and logistics by creating connectivity in areas previously difficult to access. The 2,325-km highway is anticipated to create 400,000 jobs with cost estimation of RM 29 billion upon its completion in 2023

\n\n

In the first half of 2018, over one third of the Pan Borneo Sarawak construction work packages were completed. Here, Sime Darby Industrial Sdn Bhd was involved by providing more than 150 units of Cat machines such as Cat hydraulic excavators, bulldozers and compactors, among others. One of the fleet owners is Musyati- Mudajaya JV Sdn Bhd, the main contractor for Work Package No.8 - which was named by PBH Sarawak on 3 October 2018 as the Best Overall Performing Works Package.

\n\n

Moving forward, PBH Sabah, with work packages worth RM 12.8 billion will be the key project implementor of the Pan Borneo Highway, which will require substantial equipment and machinery. Sime Darby Industrial is set to provide further support for the project.
