MSC's Telecommunications and Communication
Physical Environment Highlights
Physical Environment Highlights
"The MSC is both a physical area and a new
paradigm for creating value in the Information Age.
Physically, the MSC will be a 15 x 50 KM square
area spreading south of Kuala Lumpur. It begins
with the Kuala Lumpur City Centre in the North
and runs to Kuala Lumpur International
Airport at Sepang in the South. It is bounded
by the North-South Highway in the East
and the new Coastal Link Highway in the West.
The MSC includes two other mega-projects
in its centre -- Putra Jaya, the new administrative
capital, and an IT City, a development of smart
buildings with the latest information infrastructure
that is being tailored to meet both the living and
business needs of the knowledge worker.
Most of these projects are underway and each
is exciting in its own right: KLCC is the Northern
gateway to the MSC and is graced by the tallest
towers in the world. They already dominate
our skyline at 450 metres each and constitute a
city within a city. KLIA will be ready before
the Commonwealth Games in 1998 and will
have initially 80 gates with two parallel runways.
It will be an airport in the forest to ensure
it is an appropriate international gateway to
the environmentally beautiful MSC.
KLIA will also become an integrated logistic
hub with the latest in IT to facilitate movements
of people and goods. Putra Jaya is Malaysia's
new electronic government administrative
centre and will also be developed as an `intelligent'
garden city. It will provide a balanced urban
environment for 250,000 people served by state
of the art communications and transportation systems.
IT City will be located in West Putrajaya and
provide top quality business facilities, residential
housing, leisure and recreation facilities,
and state of the art supporting infrastructure.
It will support a working population of approximately
150,000 and a living population of over 100,000…"

Putrajaya, the new seat of Government and Administration, a garden city catering for 250,000 people. Design as a paperless enviroment in a bold experiment at electronic government, Putrajaya will also house the office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1998. It will offer efficient, on-line services to citizens and businesses, streamline the government's internal machinery, and increase productivity.
Cyberjaya
CYBERJAYA
Cyberjaya, another garden city of 7,000 hectares, the first major MSC-designed cybercity to support 240,000 people when fully completed in 1998. As the nucleus of the MSC, Cyberjaya is envisaged to be a multimedia heaven and first-choice site for innovative companies the world over. Strategically placed within the Corridor, Cyberjaya will offer a full package of incentives and facilities - including high-speed fibre networks, a balanced development of enterprise, residential, commercial and public precincts, world-class homes, restaurants and shopping facilities, and large open parks. Cyberjaya also aspires to be a "near-zero emission city" through strict zoning policies and enviromental guidelines. Freedom of ownership guidelines will allow MSC-status companies to own 100% of the land and buildings in designated areas.
Multimedia University
UNIVERSITY MULTIMEDIA
The Multimedia University, a world-first, whose doors are planned to open in 1998. The university will introduce multimedia spesific programmes and cater to the skills requirements of companies located within the Corridor. It aims to be a world leader in promotion, acquisition generation and application of knowledge in areas related to multimedia. Its first enrolment of 2,000 students will be admitted in May 1998. Within a year, the student population is expected to reach 6,000.
Modern Transportation and Highway System
PENGANGKUTAN MODEN DAN SISTEM LEBUHRAYA
Rapid train links from the cybercities to Kuala Lumpur city. The systems include the KL-Seremban Highway, the North-South Central Expressway Link on the west of Cyberjaya, the South Klang Valley Expressway, the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong Expressway and a highway providing direct links between Kuala Lumpur and the KLIA. Efficient public transport system delivering efficient commuter rail and light rapid transport (LRT) services will also be made available within the intelligent cities.
Port Klang
PELABUHAN KLANG
Malaysia's largest port approximately 40 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur, will serve the MSC's needs. With a capacity of more than 58 million tonnes in 1996, Port Klang will have an 78 million tonnes capacity by the year 2000. Since 1990, about RM 1.5 billion has been invested in infrastructure and equipment, and the West Port has been privasited to enhance operational efficiency. About 100 shipping lines call at Port Klang, linking Malaysia with major ports in Nort America, Europe, Far East, Australia, India, Africa and South America.

POLISI DAN UNDANG-UNDANG SIBER
As a cornership of its movements into the Information Age, Malaysia is transforming its legal and regulatory environment to support companies undertaking multimedia commerce. The first steps include drafting the Multimedia Convergence Act, which creates an up-to-date communications framework. The Act will be implemented by 1997 along with the following five high-impact cyberlaws:
The digital signatures cyberlaw enables businesses and the community to use electronic signatures instead of their hand-written counterparts in legal and businesses transactions.
The multimedia intellectual property cyberlaw gives multimedia developers full intellectual property protection through the on-line registration of works, licensing, and royalty collection.
The computer crime cyberlaw provides law enforcers with a framework that defines illegal access, interception, and use of computers and information; standards for service providers; and outlines potential penalties for infractions.
The telemedicine development cyberlaw empowers medical practitioners to provide medical services from remote locations using electronic medical data and presciption standards, in the knowledge that their treatment will be covered under insurance schemes.
The electronic government cyberlaw allows politicians, public servants, and the public to communicate electronically with each other using established and secure formats and standards.
