The ground-breaking MYSite Selection Portal, coupled with the Industrial Park Directory, will transform investment decision-making in the country, marking a significant leap forward for Malaysia’s digital transformation journey through the use of comprehensive geospatial data and analytics in choosing an ideal industrial site.
Combining advanced geospatial analytics with comprehensive industrial data, MYSite offers investors a powerful tool for location decision-making. Users can access real-time information about industrial parks across all Malaysian states, complete with infrastructure details, connectivity options, and sustainability metrics.
The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) on Dec 11 unveiled the digital platform – MYSite Selection Portal.
In addition to the digital platform, MIDA and FMM also launched the Malaysia Industrial Park Directory, a comprehensive directory providing detailed information about industrial parks across Malaysia.
Speaking at the launch, Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) Liew Chin Tong said the location optimisation tool and the industrial park directory will facilitate the establishment of a resilient supply chain, “allowing investors to swiftly identify areas with the best suitability for their operations”.
The portal’s standout features include intelligent filtering systems for precise location matching, real-time analytics and data visualisation, comprehensive geospatial mapping, and user-friendly interface for seamless navigation.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MIDA Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid emphasised, “The MYSite Selection Portal and Malaysia Industrial Park Directory are not just tools—they are catalysts for smarter, faster and more efficient decision-making in our industrial sector. The digital platform features geospatial analysis and smart monitoring systems allowing businesses to make informed decisions on land use, infrastructure and investment—all with just a few clicks,” adding that the portal is a dynamic and adaptive one-stop platform that ensures inclusivity and accessibility, unleashing the full potential of geospatial data to drive sustainable growth in Malaysia.
FMM President, Tan Sri Datuk Soh Thian Lai added, “The publication of the Malaysia Industrial Park Directory in collaboration with MIDA; now into its second edition will provide manufacturers a comprehensive guide for identifying optimal locations that align with their strategic needs, while also supporting the establishment of smart factories and other high-value investments. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool for authorities to evaluate the quality of facilities and infrastructure in their regions.”
In the near future, the digital platform will include a pioneering Star Rating System for industrial parks.
