Cyberjaya is a modern township with a quiet and pleasant suburban feel. It is popular with locals and expatriates alike, the latter often employed by the large number of multinational corporations that have been attracted to establish operations in the area.
Development of Cyberjaya began in 1997, with the focus of creating an attractive and modern township driven by commerce, education, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. The suburb is a key part of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), an initiative designed to promote high-technology industry in Malaysia, ensuring many local residents are employed in tech-focused industries. The result today is a well-connected and well-designed urban neighbourhood just 25 kilometres south of downtown Kuala Lumpur, and adjacent to Malaysia’s administrative capital of Putrajaya.
