  1. Cyberjaya Flagship Zone

    The 2,800ha (7,000-acre) Cyberjaya is the hub of the MSC and the main focus area for MSC-status companies, and is touted as a "self-contained intelligent city". It features an Enterprise Complex and an Incubation Centre (both of which will house MSC-status companies), a resort-style hotel (Cyberview Lodge), a shopping complex (Street Mall), Multimedia University, and several residential precincts (Cyberview Gardens, Cyber Heights Villa, D'Melor Condominiums and The Promenade). Recent new buildings include companies like HSBC, SHELL, DHL, IBM, BMW, InventQjaya and Ericsson.

  2. Technology Park Malaysia (TPM)

    Technology Park Malaysia is centrally located in the MSC, and was set up to provide a convenient locale for MSC-status companies. The environment in TPM is ideally conducive for these companies to conduct Research & Development activities, in line with the objectives of the MSC's flagship applications. TPM currently comprises 12 main buildings, set on 300ha (750 acres) of land. Building types include Enterprise Buildings, Incubator Buildings, an Innovation House and R&D Land Lots. There are also auxiliary facilities like a bank, restaurants, a gymnasium and convenience shops.

    UPM-MTDC is a joint venture between the Malaysian Technology Development Corporation and Universiti Putra Malaysia, one of the premier public universities in Malaysia. It comprises an Incubation Centre where R&D and technology-development activities can be carried out in a feasible environment. It also provides a suitable location for academic research and activiies which can later be utilised for commercial purposes. The UPM-MTDC Incubation Centre is located within the grounds of Universiti Putra Malaysia in Serdang, in the newly built University Research Park.


  4. Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC)

    The world-famous Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) is known as a "mixed-use development" area, which has facilities catering to retail, commercial, hotel, residential and recreational usages. The KLCC comprises the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers (used to house commercial establishments and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, an 864-seat concert hall), the six-level Suria KLCC (which offers world-class shopping through its brand-name retail outlets), the 49-storey Menara Maxis and 30-storey Menara Esso, the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur Hotel and a 20ha (50-acre) public park.

  5. Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL Tower)

    The 421-metre Menara Kuala Lumpur or KL Tower was set up as the nation's premier telecommunications and broadcasting centre, and currently ranks as the world's fourth tallest telecommunications tower. The building primarily houses Telekom Malaysia's microwave station and Radio Televisyen Malaysia's radio and TV-broadcast stations. Other services which utilise Menara KL's superior height include paging systems, mobile telephone and other telecommunication networks, and radio services for public authorities like the police, traffic control authorities, the armed forces, and meteorological services. Menara KL also boasts an Observation Deck, the Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant, a pedestrian mall and shopping outlets.


  6. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)

    The KLIA constitutes the southernmost point of the MSC, and covers a total area of over 100sq km. It was inaugurated in June 1998, and incorporates an "airport in the forest" concept, whereby the airport is built within real rainforests, thus creating a natural "green" environment. The KLIA is currently capable of handling 25 million passengers a year, and is expected to handle 60 million by 2020. The state of the art facilities available at the KLIA include the Total Airport Management System, fully automated baggage handling and reconciliation system, tracked passenger transit system, and automated moving walkways.
