Negri Sembilan, a major growth frontier for SD Property

KUALA LUMPUR: Negri Sembilan has emerged as a key growth frontier for some property developers particularly Sime Darby Property Bhd (SD Property).
SD Property plays an instrumental role as one of the lead developers of the Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV2.0) development corridor.
MVV2.0 is a catalytic development initiative aimed at unlocking the economic potential of Negri Sembilan.
As part of the National Physical Plan, MVV2.0 is intended to transform the southern corridor of the Klang Valley into a new growth frontier, leveraging strategic connectivity and proximity to Greater Kuala Lumpur.
SD Property contributes to the activation of this corridor by unlocking its sizeable landbank in Nilai and Labu.
Currently, SD Property holds about 4,000 acres of remaining land within MVV2.0, with an estimated remaining gross development value of RM16 billion.
TA Securities said SD Property's management sees Negri Sembilan as a fast-emerging hotspot, offering industrial land at significantly more competitive pricing, about half the cost of similar offerings in Selangor while enjoying superior accessibility.
This view is increasingly reflected in the group's sales composition, as Negri Sembilan accounted for 20 per cent of its total property sales in the quarter, up markedly from an average of just five per cent in FY24.
The strong demand for units at Hamilton Nilai City and the positive initial response to Vision Business Park (VBP) highlight the state's growing importance as a strategic industrial destination.
VBP, a 760-acre integrated industrial and commercial estate located within MVV2.0, is a key project for the property developer.
Launched in April, VBP boasts an estimated gross development value of RM2.4 billion.
It is situated near key infrastructure nodes including KLIA, KLIA2, the Nilai Inland Port and the North-South Expressway.
The project is designed to attract logistics operators, light manufacturers, and technology-driven businesses, with product offerings ranging from ready-built factories and industrial plots to R&D facilities and commercial shop offices.

Retailer's outlets in the city raising funds for university college via sale of publications, artworks A LOCAL bookstore chain has started a year-long initiative in Johor Baru to support a tertiary institution's 50th anniversary. The collaboration between Popular Bookstore and Southern University College (SUC) kicked off in conjunction with World Book Day. Since April 1, all Popular outlets in the city have been selling SUC publications and up to 180 titles donated by affiliated authors. Customers have also been offered RM10 sets of five bookmarks featuring scenes from SUC's campus which was established in Skudai in 1990. Sale proceeds have been set aside to fund book purchases and literary activities of the university's Malaysian Chinese Literature Centre (MCLC). SUC president Prof Chuah Joon Huang said the institute was honoured to work with Popular. 'This partnership has allowed us to promote the world of reading, by showcasing SUC's publications, academic programmes and student artworks. 'I extend my gratitude for the sponsorship from the calligraphy and art communities, and the business sector.' Speaking at the opening ceremony for the 13-month cultural event celebrating SUC's 50th anniversary at a Johor Baru mall, Prof Chuah said, 'This is our first large-scale joint cultural event of its kind. 'It is a significant collaboration between our library, MCLC, Faculty of Chinese Studies, Faculty of Art and Design and industry partners.' He hopes this will inspire excellence in the city's art scene and become a model of cross-sector collaboration. 'Let us work hand in hand to enrich the arts scene of Johor Baru and Malaysia.' Comprising cultural performances and book sales until April 30, 2026, the event has been designed to attract public interest. Popular Malaysia general manager (business development) Siew Sheue Liang said, 'At Popular, we believe books are powerful tools for learning and cultural growth. 'In Johor Baru, we have promoted reading by giving back to the community through knowledge and culture.' Siew said Popular was proud to mark SUC's golden jubilee by launching a reading project titled 'Celebrating the Art of Calligraphy and Cultural Heritage – A New Chapter Begins'. He said Popular had raised RM16,100 for SUC and thanked contributors who helped to keep cultural heritage strong in Johor. The opening ceremony also marked the 70th anniversary of Chao Foon literary magazine, the oldest Chinese literary publication in Malaysia and Singapore, and is currently issued bi‑annually by MCLC. Meanwhile, Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said she was happy to see publishers and universities teaming up to bring local stories, books and campuses closer to the public. The Kulai MP said the ministry had long promoted reading and aimed to build a stronger reading culture through programmes such as the Madani Malaysia book voucher. She said the programme offered RM50 and RM100 book vouchers to those from primary school to university levels. 'This year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that the programme will include 400,000 teachers. 'We are also driving the 2025 Book Loving Nation Voucher Programme through the National Library. 'Under this programme, RM1mil has been allocated to support local publishers,' she said.

Negri Sembilan is a ‘hidden gem'

Strategic location and industrial growth make Negri Sembilan a top investment target NEGRI Sembilan has embraced a forward-looking development agenda with the Negri Sembilan Vision Valley (NSVV), also known as the Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0), as a cornerstone of its strategy. 'We believe the development of NSVV will play a crucial role to attract more investment and drive the state's economic growth over the medium to long term,' MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd (MIDF Research) said in a thematic report on the state released in end-May. For this year, MIDF Research expects the state GDP growth will continue to be supported by the domestic spending activity amid concerns of the negative impacts from trade war on Malaysia's manufacturing activity. 'We also noticed that recent acceleration in Negri Sembilan's inflation was due to inflation in the restaurants & hotels segment, which suggests the demand condition (especially for food and beverages (F&B) services, travels and accommodation) remained strong,' it said. The report, entitled 'Uncovering A Hidden Gem', identified three key investment highlights for Negri Sembilan. First, Negri Sembilan is strategically located near Klang Valley and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), enhancing its appeal for logistics and investment. Second, the state's nominal GDP grew at a compound annual rate of 5.8% from 2015 to 2023, slightly above the national average. Manufacturing and services sectors made up over 90% of Negri Sembilan's GDP in 2023, underscoring their economic importance. Third, several key initiatives for the development of the state; (i) the MVV 2.0 initiative spans 153,000 ha and targets high-tech, aerospace and maritime industries, (ii) the Digital Economy Blueprint 2027 promotes smart agriculture, tech parks and digital governance initiatives, (iii) the Negri Sembilan Maju 2045 vision outlines a long-term plan for inclusive, sustainable and innovation-driven growth. It estimated Negri Sembilan's real GDP expanded by 4.4% to 5.0% last year (2023: 1.8%), backed by increased domestic spending and in contrast to the decline in exports. Taking into account the trade weakness, it said its estimate assumed the state real GDP growth to be somewhat lower than 5.1% rise in national real GDP growth last year. The state is led by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun. Here are some excerpts from MIDF Research's two-part report: Negri Sembilan remains the ninth largest state in Malaysia, with the size of its nominal GDP having grown to RM63.3 billion in 2023 (2015: RM40.2 billion) after growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% per annum since 2015. The state's economy grew slightly more robust than the national economy as the CAGR for Negri Sembilan's nominal GDP was marginally higher than the CAGR of 5.6% per annum for national nominal GDP in the same eight-year period. Despite the stronger growth, Negri Sembilan accounted for 3.5% of Malaysia's nominal GDP (2015: 3.4%). In 2023, the manufacturing and services sectors accounted for the largest share of 90.7% of Negri Sembilan's GDP in 2023 (2022: 89.6%; 2015: 86.2%). Negri Sembilan ranked fifth among all states in contributing to the national manufacturing GDP in the year, accounting for 5.4% — behind Johor (12%) and Sarawak (10.3%). Growth Sector We foresee the services sector growth will be sustained on the back of increased domestic spending, while the outlook for the manufacturing sector could be constrained by the trade war and uncertainties on the future external demand. While we expect manufacturers will take the chance to frontload deliveries and shipments following the US decision to temporarily pause from imposing the 24% reciprocal tariffs, there was persistent weakness in Negeri Sembilan's export activity in the first quarter of 2025 (1Q25) which was incon- sistent with the pick-up in national exports ahead of the US tariff hikes. On the domestic front, higher inflation and renewed cost pressures present other downside risks that could hurt consumer and business spending, which could come from further subsidy rationalisation and other policy changes. Nonetheless, a resilient labour market, accommodative monetary policy and ongoing fiscal measures will support in sustaining domestic demand. Going forward, income growth in Negri Sembilan is expected to improve in tandem with efforts to attract more investment into the state. Increasingly, companies are capitalising on the spillover effects of industrial and tech developments in Selangor and Johor by relocating operations to Negri Sembilan. The state offers lower operating costs while maintaining close proximity to the Klang Valley, making it an attractive location for business expansion. This shift is likely to support higher output and create more job opportunities, contributing to stronger income growth in the coming years. The NSVV or MVV 2.0 is a large-scale economic development corridor located in the state. It encompasses the districts of Seremban and Port Dickson. The NSVV is a long-term development spanning 1,534 km sq, roughly twice the size of Singapore. It is envisioned to be a world-class metropolis that is competitive, inclusive and environmentally clean. It is considered as strategically located as it leverages its close proximity to heavily developed Klang Valley and KLIA, aiming to gain from the spillover effects from Greater Kuala Lumpur's rapid development. We believe the development of NSVV will play a crucial role to attract more investment and drive the state economic growth over the medium to long term. Negri Sembilan has embraced a forward-looking development agenda. The MVV 2.0 initiative is a cornerstone of this strategy. MVV 2.0 aims to transform the state into a high-tech, sustainable economic corridor. It includes key projects such as the Negri Sembilan High Tech Industrial Park, Negri Sembilan Aerospace Valley (NSAV) and the Port Dickson Free Zone. These developments are designed to attract high-value industries, including semiconductors, aerospace, maritime logistics and smart manufacturing. The Negri Sembilan Digital Economy Blueprint 2027 is a strategic initiative aimed at transforming the state into a digitally empowered economy by 2027. Building upon earlier efforts, the blueprint focuses on enhancing digital infrastructure, promoting industry digitalisation and fostering a digitally literate society. Key Projects Key projects include the development of smart agriculture practices in Gemas, the establishment of high-tech industrial parks like Techpark @ Enstek and Sg Gadut Industrial Park and the creation of a new digital centre in Seremban 3. These initiatives aim to attract investments in sectors such as electric vehicles, semiconductors, aerospace and halal industries. In addition to these, the blueprint outlines plan for the establishment of Sendayan Tech Valley, envisioned as a hub for high-tech manufacturing and innovation. The state is also focusing on enhancing digital governance through initiatives like N9PAY, a digital payment gateway facilitating cashless transactions for government services. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on digital literacy programmes, including collaborations with institutions like Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and the implementation of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC)-Microsoft AI TEACH programme. Collectively, these efforts are poised to position Negri Sembilan as a competitive, inclusive and sustainable digital economy by 2027. Ultimately, the digital economy blueprint is a strategic roadmap to integrate digital technology into the economy to achieve the Negri Sembilan Maju 2045 vision. — TMR This article first appeared in The Malaysian Reserve weekly print edition
