The Malaysia Vision Valley (MVV; Malay: ; Jawi: لمبه واوسن مليسيا) is a development corridor that encompasses the districts of Seremban and Port Dickson in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The corridor was initially established on 21 May 2015, and it forms the southern continuation of the Greater Kuala Lumpur area.

Background

The state of Negeri Sembilan has a very close proximity to the heavily developed Klang Valley area and is very well connected via major arteries. Driven by the increase of commuters from the state commuting daily to work, including topographic factors - where the corridor between Kuala Lumpur and Negeri Sembilan is relatively flatter compared to the north - the urban sprawl of the Klang Valley has been seen to push southwards over the years,[1] causing new developments to spur up in bordering districts, especially Seremban and Port Dickson - both are also part of the National Conurbation.[2]

Plans of launching a development corridor spanning the two Negri districts were mooted since 2009 under the master plan conceived by Sime Darby Property but was pigeonholed due to the global economic slump.[3] Under the leadership of Mohamad Hasan, the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, and Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister, Najib Razak, the first iteration of the MVV was inaugurated in 2015, with Sime Darby acting as a major player in the development of the corridor. It is a key component of the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (11MP), the National Physical Plan (NPP), and the state's 45-year modernization plan, which intends to decentralize the development of neighboring Klang Valley, and poising western Negeri Sembilan as the southern extension of Greater Kuala Lumpur.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] The megaproject harnesses the spillover effect from the rapid development of Greater Kuala Lumpur, aiming to drastically stimulate the economic growth at the state and national levels, with a long-term goal to prepare Negeri Sembilan in becoming a developed state by 2045.

Following the defeat of Barisan Nasional government in the 14th Malaysian general election, the project was eventually shelved. After being revised and restructured, Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0. (MVV2.0.), the project's second and current iteration, was launched on 13 December 2018 by the incumbent Menteri Besar, Aminuddin Harun.[9] [10] Since then, NS Corporation (NS Corp) has been the statutory body responsible in establishing the MVV's direction, policies, and strategies,[11] and it is slated to create at over 600,000 job opportunities to Negri citizens, and contribute up to 15% of Malaysia's gross domestic product (GDP).[12] [13]

Geography

The MVV is located immediately south of the Klang Valley, covering the districts of Seremban and Port Dickson in the western half of Negeri Sembilan, roughly defined by the Nilai–Seremban–Port Dickson growth triangle. It directly borders the MSC Malaysia corridor to its north.

The MVV is twice the size of Singapore but one and a half times smaller than Johor's Iskandar Malaysia, with a total land area of 1,534 km².

Development plan

The current version of the Malaysia Vision Valley consists of six developmental parcels:[14] [15]
