PUTRAJAYA: Three new locations in the Klang Valley will be developed into MSC Malaysia cybercentres — the Persoft Tower in Petaling Jaya, as well as GTower and Bangsar South City in Kuala Lumpur.
Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, chief executive officer of the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), said the new locations are to provide more variety and choice to companies and organisations looking to be part of the MSC Malaysia initiative.
There are 10 cybercentres in the Klang Valley now — among them are the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Cyberjaya, KL Sentral and Mid Valley City. There are six cybercities in the states of Kedah, Penang, Malacca, Perak, Johor and Pahang.
The cybercentre/cybercity concept was established to provide a conducive business environment and ecosystem to attract ICT (information and communications technology) investors, to push the growth of sector.
Badlisham was speaking at the 21st MSC Malaysia Implementation Council Meeting (ICM) today, which takes place ahead of tomorrow’s International Advisory Panel (IAP) meeting. Both are being held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre.
The theme for this year’s ICM is MSC Malaysia 2.0: Contributing to Malaysia’s New Economic Model.
