赛城吸才 走向世界:

http://www.nanyang.com/node/567204?tid=688

16年前，没有赛柏再也（Cyberjaya）这个名称；那里只有一片片绿油油的油棕园，人烟稀疏。

16年后的今天，这里变身成为我国首屈一指的智慧城，油棕园成了众多跨国企业在东南亚，甚至是全球的运营据点。

赛城的蜕变并未结束；未来将会有更多世界级企业进驻，同时吸引更多来自世界各地的专才驻扎。

世界级的智慧城，指日可待！

逾百发展商抢滩 赛城众资成城

面积达7000英亩的赛城（Cyberjaya），前身是一片油棕树林。

经过主要发展商SetiaHaruman私人有限公司（简称Setia Haruman）的努力，如今已成为国内主要科技城。

赛城的发展阶段主要分两个，尤其过去3年内，随着Setia Haruman把部分土地脱售引进城内各大著名发展商，集合众人力量，整个城市的发展顿时加速，预计短期内就可以看到赛城脱胎换骨。

未来，赛城还会继续招揽高价值公司到城内驻扎，集合更多人才前来工作和生活。

今天到赛城走一圈，可见处处都是进行中的建筑工程，大大小小，可说是忙得不可开交。

赛城主要发展商Setia Haruman产业发展市场和销售主管廖勇强指出，目前在赛城开发产业的发展商有100多个，其中著名的发展商就有达20多个。

他说，集合了这些发展商的力量，赛城的发展速度确实加快了不少，比起由该公司独自发展，成果更加显著。

赛城总面积超过7000英亩，其中超过48%的土地保留为绿肺或便利设施等。

过去几年，陆续脱售一些地段后，Setia Haruman目前仍持有城内1000多英亩土地，预料在未来10年内逐步发展。

廖勇强透露，该公司会保留该些土地，不会再脱售，未来的计划包括办公室、住宅单位和商务产业。

作为赛城主要发展商，Setia Haruman已完成了城内大部分基本设施，80至90%道路也已建成，只有北部需再增建一些道路。同时，城市设有光纤，光纤系统长达35公里。

引进更多高价值公司

说到未来大计，Setia Haruman放眼引进更多高价值公司，冀望这些公司可为整个赛城带来更大转变。廖勇强举例，以一家大型资讯科技公司约雇员4000人，若能引进10家，那么就可带来4万人的就业人口。

“庞大的人口，就是城内潜在客户群。”

到赛城工作的人才，就可以考虑在该城居住，而城内的基本设施、购物广场、和休闲设施，都可以满足他们的需求。

至今，赛城有超过500家公司，其中超过30家是跨国企业。

廖勇强披露：“我们计划引进更高价值的公司，带来更高价值的工作，但，这表示需要栽培更多高价值人才，才能满足该些公司的需求。”

有鉴于此，除了硬体建设，该公司也致力为赛城招揽人才。

Setia Haruman将与高等学府等合作，为赛城内的公司做媒，把人才和公司配对，让驻扎赛城的公司获得相关人才。

名发展商推介57亿房产

目前，已进驻赛城的著名发展商包括马星集团（Mahsing，8583，主板产业股）、MCT Consortium、实达集团（SPSetia，8664，主板产业股）、UEM置地控股（UEMLand，5148，主板产业股）、Emkay集团、Paramount产业及高美达（Glomac，5020，主板产业股）等。

这些发展商陆续在赛城推介各种房产发展计划，无论是住宅或是商务产业，都为购屋者提供优质选择。

今年内，料推介的房产计划，发展总值约达57亿6000万令吉。

赛城的人口料于在2016年杪，增加至10万人，也将支持着房产需求。

高等学府带动产业增值

除了就业人口的房产需求，赛城房产价值能够稳健增长，租金稳定，归功于城内及毗邻的各个高等学府。

这包括了大马多媒体大学（MMU）、林国荣创意科技大学和赛城大学医学科学学院（CUCMS）等。

询及房产市场前景，廖勇强认为，这取决于供求，因此发展商要维持一定赚幅，但不能脱离市场价格太远。

不过，信誉良好的发展商会有忠实追随者。

此外，赛城已取得地方政府核准，提高该城的容积率。

因此，可有更高的大楼发展计划。

无论如何，SetiaHaruman发展计划注重环境平衡，除了发展产业，会确保整体环境保持干净、绿肺充足，以及空间宽大。

Setia Haruman除了赛城的基建，也发展一些工程，包括著名的Cyberview Lodge水疗和度假村、PerdanaLakeview East和West高档有地产业发展计划、Serenity GardenHomes、D'melor公寓和CBD Perdana1零售和办公室综合性发展计划。

70亿推行3重点计划

今年4月，首相拿督斯里纳吉宣布斥资70亿8200万令吉，在赛城推行3项重点计划。

分别以6200万令吉兴建绿色回教堂、10亿2000万令吉兴建综合房屋计划及60亿令吉兴建赛城市中心。

同时，赛城城市中心将会兴建一座600公尺的天桥，衔接布城，预计这座天桥将在2015年完成。

赛城回教堂是全马首幢绿色回教堂，占地17.5英亩，教堂大堂面积9500平方尺，设计依据大马标准1525指南及绿色建筑物指数（GBI）。它采用再生能源，即先进的太阳能科技及其他节能的基本设施建设，符现代合绿色与环保概念。

赛城综合房屋计划占地121英亩，坐落在第9区，靠近多媒体大学及林国荣创意大学。

其中包括2500个房屋与商业单位，794个单位属于一马房屋计划。

占地141英亩的城市中心，毗邻林国荣创意大学，由Cyberview私人有限公司与实达集团负责发展。

Setia Haruman发展4工程

作为发展商，近期内Setia Haruman进行中或即将进行工程有4项，包括赛城Centrus@CBD Perdana3（简称CBD3）综合性商务发展计划、Apex Residence住宅计划、Ceria Residence住宅计划和CBD Perdana5商务发展计划。

CBD3总值10亿进行中的CBD3，发展总值达10亿令吉，面积达13.8英亩。整个发展计划分成3个阶段，第一阶段建筑工程目前已完成40%。

CBD3第一阶段的元素包括Centrus购物中心、Centrus SOHO小型家庭办公室、Centrus Arena露天剧场，及Centrus Walk和Centrus Boulevard商务中心。

目前，第一座SOHO单位已获70%认购率，面积450平方尺起，售价从每平方尺平均500令吉起。

廖勇强透露，若反应热烈，该公司预计会在明年推介第二座SOHO单位。

为了确保商务城的管理妥当，产业价值有保障，该公司将保留该产业的管理工作，比如保留停车场进行管理。

同时，购物中心也由该公司保留出租，作为长期的收入来源。

Gardenview Residence认购率逾70%

Setia Haruman旗下高档房产计划Gardenview Residence已完工，可直接入住，目前认购率达70%。

廖勇强指出，面积介于1690至1711平方尺的大型单位，价格从83万令吉起。

目前约剩30个单位。

“Gardenview Residence是低密度的高档公寓，3栋公寓共有210个单位。”

而且Gardenview Residence地点策略，毗邻国际学校及多所大学，非常靠近赛城的中央商务区（CBD）。公寓范围保留大量空间作为绿肺，公共空间除了泳池、健身房等，还有5个主题组成的花园。

5个主题分别是植物森林、草药精华、五色花园、浪漫气息及绿色步道。

Setia Haruman3优惠配套

1.辖免买卖合约律师费和贷款合约印花税，同时为购屋者提供1万5000令吉的现金回扣，可以用来抵消购屋成本，或是领取现金；

2.购屋者可选择半装潢单位，单位里面已装有橱柜、洗衣机、卧室橱柜、及5架冷气机，总值约3万令吉；

Widening the talent pool for 2016 and beyond:

http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/mobile/article.php?id=234900

IT is hard to imagine how the 7,000-acre Cyberjaya would have looked like some 16 years ago. Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar, chairman of the master developer Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd, recalls seeing the former oil palm plantation for the first time and thinking to himself how the tract, on which a model intelligent city was conceptualised for the world to see, would turn out.

Driving around Cyberjaya, we see numerous buildings under construction and newly completed ones waiting to be occupied. Houses and apartments are also mushrooming in the area, thanks to growing rental demand from students, especially those attending higher learning institutions in Cyberjaya such as Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Kirkby International College, Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences and Multimedia University.

There is also demand for housing from professionals working with the many multinational corporations located here, for example Dell Global Centre, IBM, HSBC, DHL and Prudential. The Bank Negara Data Centre and the Road Transport Department Data Centre are here as well.

Of the 7,000 acres, about 3,300 acres have been reserved for public amenities and greenery. About 1,087 acres of the rest have been developed while 1,258 acres are in the planning/under construction stage. The remaining 1,300 acres — of which 500 have been designated for enterprises, 360 for residences, 34 for institutions and 104 for commercial projects — are estimated to have a development value of RM4.36 billion in 2016, Mustapha Kamal tells City & Country.

"Seeing is believing. Today, there are more than 60 MNCs, government and private data centres, contact centres, shared services and R&D centres and other facilities in Cyberjaya. We have more than 600 business entities with more than 30,000 knowledge workers here. Come 2016, most of the projects in Cyberjaya will be completed," he says.

However, Setia Haruman knows only too well that it is not just hardware — buildings and infrastructure — that contributes to the success of Cyberjaya. "We are not going to sell to just any company. We want to do business with people who understand what we are doing, who understand the value system involved and our purpose. We want high-impact companies," says Mustapha Kamal.

Shortage of knowledge workers

There is an immediate problem that needs to be solved for Cyberjaya to move forward — a shortage of skilled/knowledge workers to meet the needs of high-impact companies.

"We need more skilled workers as there is a mismatch between demand and supply in the industry. There is no room for failure if we are to move forward. I could easily sell the remaining 1,300 acres, but I have decided to do this [ensure Cyberjaya continues to attract high-impact companies whose demand for skilled workers is met]," explains Mustapha Kamal.

In 2004, Setia Haruman decided to tap Cyberjaya's full potential as a preferred destination for ICT companies. The 2005 to 2011 period saw the "second wave" of Cyberjaya's transformation after study tours to cities such as Dubai and Bangalore emphasised the need for a new approach. Dubai's infrastructure is said to be far superior to that of Bangalore, yet the latter is the preferred destination for ICT companies outside the US.

Mustapha Kamal says this is because India has a large pool of intellectual capital at a reasonable cost as it churns out close to three million graduates a year, about 16% of whom are focused on science and technology. Not surprisingly, big ICT companies such as Infosys Ltd, Hewlett-Packard, Mahindra Satyam and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd and world-class biotechnology companies like Biocon Ltd are present in Bangalore.

"So you see, there is no mismatch between the graduates and what the industry needs in Bangalore. But there is one in Malaysia due to numerous factors. Some companies want to leave Malaysia because there are not enough skilled workers here. We need to churn out graduates who meet the needs of these companies. If we can do that and there is sustainable growth in Cyberjaya, it can be a catalyst for the whole country.

"So, what makes Bangalore a preferred destination outside the US? Bangalore has two parts — the Indian Bangalore and the ICT Bangalore. Campus development with accommodation and offices complete with putting green [ICT Bangalore] is built away from the havoc and bad traffic [of Indian Bangalore]. Our study tour was a blessing in disguise as I could visualise the problems we could face in the future.

"Now I have 1,300 acres for future development in Cyberjaya for which we are targeting high-impact ICT companies with high-value jobs. The infrastructure is ready and we have solved all the teething problems of a new township."

Mustapha Kamal believes now is the time to move to the next level. He wants to be prepared for 2016 — when most of the developments in Cyberjaya are completed — and beyond. "It would be the tipping point for Cyberjaya," he says. Hence, the urgent need to increase the number of knowledge workers in Malaysia.

The rapid growth in outsourcing to India is due to the availability of educated and skilled workers in the country. "We need to have our own skilled workers, otherwise we cannot compete with India and we will continue to expect foreign skilled workers to come here. So there are two things — bring in foreign direct investment or high-impact companies while widening our own talent pool.

"We are capable of doing that. If we can have the two together, our vision of Cyberjaya will be fulfilled," explains Mustapha Kamal.

He says Cyberjaya is well positioned in Asia. It is just 20 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and 20 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur city centre via the Maju Expressway. In terms of connectivity and technology infrastructure, Cyberjaya's is better than, for example, Bangalore's. There is also the advantage of English, Malay, Tamil and Mandarin-speaking workers.

Aside from that, says Mustapha Kamal, Cyberjaya is blessed with ample land dedicated to ICT, which similar hubs in India, Singapore and the Philippines lack. "We have the convenience of expanding close to existing buildings on the remaining 1,300 acres. In some other countries, expansion is possible only 3km to 10km away. Cyberjaya is also uncrowded in terms of population, which means more knowledge workers can settle here."

For now, Setia Haruman and the other stakeholders of Cyberjaya are focusing on attracting more people to live and work here by looking into soft infrastructure such as public amenities and transport.

Mustapha Kamal stresses that they are also looking to build the pool of knowledge workers in Cyberjaya by attracting universities, colleges and institutions to set up shop here as well as improving the mix of target jobs.

In short, Setia Haruman is promoting Cyberjaya not only as an international preferred destination for ICT companies but also as an ideal place for Malaysians to live, work, study and play.

"We have invested a total of RM3 billion in repositioning Cyberjaya [including infrastructure and buildings] but come 2016, it will all be paid for. So, now is the time to produce graduates to be gainfully employed by these ICT companies.

"We conducted surveys among the industries to see what kind of skills [mid to long term] are needed today so that we can let the universities know," explains Mustapha Kamal, citing the Talent Supply-Demand Study 2010-2013 carried out by Multimedia Development Corp. The studies were carried out in five different fields and the finding is that demand for IT graduates will exceed supply by 79% this year, he says, adding that this is a huge mismatch.

"The ICT industry faces a big threat from new emerging markets such as Vietnam and Cambodia. For example, Vietnam has made it a national policy to produce one million software engineers. Its aim is to churn out 40,000 graduates a year. Malaysia only produces 8,000 graduates a year," he says.

According to Mustapha Kamal, colleges can produce graduates who are trained knowledge workers that can compete in the global ICT sector through MSC Malaysia's Knowledge Workers Development Institute.

Currently, there are 18,000 students in three international-status universities and two colleges in Cyberjaya as well as 3,000 in ELC International, Sri Puteri and Cyberjaya's secondary and primary schools. Of the 18,000, 40% are foreigners. Two more universities — Islamic University of Malaysia and University Malaysia of Computer Science & Engineering — will open their doors to students this year.

"I believe that if the objective is good, you will be rewarded. It is time to give back. I took a gamble and was rewarded with much more. So, I feel it is time to give back to nation building," remarks Mustapha Kamal.

In the beginning

Work on Cyberjaya started in May 1997 with four developers under Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd (EMKAY Group, UEM Group, Landmarks Group and Country Heights Group) given the responsibility to develop the 7,000-acre tract into an intelligent city with world-class standards and facilities on a fast-track basis. Their first task was to complete the 100-room Cyberview Lodge Resort within 100 days in time to host the Asia-Pacific Economic Leaders retreat in November 1998.

In 2004, EMKAY Group bought over the shareholding of Country Heights Group and Landmarks Group. Today, EMKAY Group owns 75% of Setia Haruman while UEM Group holds the rest.

"The government appointed four developers then so we could develop Cyberjaya fast as we were competing with Singapore. If it had given the job to only one developer, it would have been developed in phases. The four developers were handpicked to simultaneously develop Cyberjaya. It was a green field — an oil palm plantation. No one believed there was going to be a Cyberjaya," Setia Haruman chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar says.

As the master developer, Setia Haruman is responsible for planning and construction and has the exclusive rights to develop and sell parcels to developers and investors.

The other stakeholders are Cyberview Sdn Bhd, a government-linked company and landowner of Cyberjaya; Multimedia Development Corp to promote MSC Malaysia and be the one-stop agency for MSC-status companies; and the Sepang Town Council. Setia Haruman has a development agreement with Cyberview.

The original business model was for foreign ICT companies to buy large parcels of land complete with infrastructure. However, due to the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis, the dotcom crash in 2000 and the Sept 11 terrorist attacks in the US in 2001, many ICT companies deferred their investments, preferring to rent than buy.

One of the challenges faced was the development matrix: shops and restaurants will not open unless people are there, people will not relocate unless restaurants are open and offices will not open unless people and restaurants are there. Very much a chicken-and-egg situation, remarks Mustapha Kamal. There was also the transport problem. New townships generally are inaccessible by public transport until and after there are people living there and people will not relocate if there is no public transport. Perception was yet another challenge as new townships are deemed dull and boring and, therefore, entertainment and public amenities suffer the "people-first shops-after" dilemma.

EMKAY Group built office spaces to attract tenants to MKN Embassy Techzone (NLA of 1.1 million sq ft) and launched retail shops called Neo Cyber. Dedicated transport services were provided for workers and students at a packaged price round the clock.

The population grew to 50,000 between 2005 and 2011 from 20,000 in 2004. By 2011, accumulative total investment (infrastructure and buildings only) stood at almost RM13 billion with about 11 million sq ft of completed offices, 263 shops, 3,200 residences, five universities/colleges and four schools.

Property prices in Cyberjaya have grown steadily over the years. For example, bungalow land in Perdana Lakeview East is now going for RM145 psf on the secondary market compared with RM74 three to four years ago. Ground floor retail lots in Neo Cyber priced at RM433,000 in 2008 are currently valued at RM1 million while terraced homes in Summer Glades, Perdana Lakeview West, that were priced at RM740,000 three to four years ago have asking prices of RM1.1 million.

Setia Haruman, SOASC Sign MoU To Develop Integrated Entrepreneur Park In Cyberjaya:

http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v7/bu/newsb...s.php?id=982229

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd and Shanghai Overseas Affairs Service Centre Co Ltd (SOASC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the development of an Integrated Entrepreneur Park in Cyberjaya with an estimated investment of RM6 billion.

The investment for the project, which is known as IndaCity Entrepreneur Park, will be implemented via either an outright purchase of land by SOASC or through a joint venture with Setia Haruman.

Setia Haruman Chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar said the MoU could open doors to economic and cultural collaborations between the two cities via the setting up of the Integrated IndaCity Entrepreneur Park that would attract high impact companies from China to Cyberjaya.

"I am confident that this project will foster a closer relationship between the two cities," he said in a statement Tuesday.

Present to sign the MoU of SOASC was its Chairman, Wang Jie Min, while Setia Haruman was represented by its Executive Director Lao Chok Keang.

The ceremony was witnessed by Mustapha Kamal and SOASC advisor Tan Sri Micheal Chen Wing Sum.

"With the recent launching of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone in Shanghai, I expect more Shanghai enterprises to invest in Cyberjaya," said Wang.

Cyberjaya makes him so rich...

Of the 7,000 acres, about 3,300 acres have been reserved for public amenities and greenery. About 1,087 acres of the rest have been developed while 1,258 acres are in the planning/under construction stage. The remaining 1,300 acres — of which 500 have been designated for enterprises, 360 for residences, 34 for institutions and 104 for commercial projects — are estimated to have a development value of RM4.36 billion in 2016, Mustapha Kamal tells City & Country.

Good move!

Setia Haruman, SOASC Sign MoU To Develop Integrated Entrepreneur Park In Cyberjaya:

The Making Of Cyberjaya Valley:

http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v7/bu/ne...s.php?id=982441

KUALA LUMPUR, (Bernama) -- The problem with Malaysia is not the lack of incredible ideas and technologies. It is the lack of a well-established venture capital model to take these ideas or technologies to the next level.

Entrepreneurs need to extend their reach outside Malaysia. To get outside Malaysia requires cash and contacts.

I have been coming to Malaysia for 10 years now and what I see is that Malaysia has a couple of unique things that put it way ahead of other developing countries. There is no reason why Malaysia can't compete for these funds.

Firstly, the way of doing business here is very fluid and dynamic with a lot less level of control but without it being chaotic.

Secondly, there is a lot of hunger and drive here among the young to want to strike out on their own. There is no reason why getting the necessary funding from venture capitalists should be a problem.

The government of Malaysia should capitalise on these attributes and take advantage of GES2013 coming to Malaysia.

The door is wide open to start putting something in place to build a venture capital community. Something that will draw them together. If we start now we can see something happening within six months to one year.

A good start is to attract foreign investors, by giving special incentives on labor, land and taxes (export and import). This will make it attractive for angel investors and venture capitalists from elsewhere to come in and seed the "Cyberjaya Valley." As great products start emerging on the global stage this will create the momentum that will kickstart the whole entrepreneurial scene.
