Kenyalang Smart City (KSC) is an integrated smart city development located immediately adjacent to the Curtin University Malaysia campus. It is planned to be a satellite hub capable of spurring economic growth through the northern suburbs of Miri City and the broader northern region of Sarawak.
Upon its completion, KSC will be a model city for Sarawakians that can headquarter new industries as well as established ones, presenting a bespoke vision for the future of Miri and the wider East Malaysia.
Set across 543 acres, KSC is segmented into five parcels that collectively will be developed over a 15 - 20 year period. Importantly, the KSC development is envisaged to play a major role in fulfilling the Sarawak Government’s vision to re-engineer its economy, diversifying it from being a heavy-resourced based economy, leveraging its assets and intensifying digitalization.
KSC, which incorporates trade, education, logistics, medical, wellness, entrepreneurship, residential, recreational, solar energy generation and green lung districts in an eco-friendly environment will be a fully integrated smart city development – a city with requisite sophisticated amenities and facilities to house local and international communities and to cater to the region’s ever growing demand for both long and short-term visitors.
Through the integration of sustainable innovation, smart architecture and green design, a community will be created that delivers an improved quality of living for its citizens as well as the additional benefits of smart security, smart mobility, smart connectivity, smart health, smart automation and smart governance.
“The Kenyalang Smart City is foundational to the future we want to shape in Sarawak as a developed and high income region in Malaysia, and therefore, I pray that it will be successfully implemented.”
The Right Honourable Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari
the Premier of Sarawak.
“Miri City is in dire need of a proper convention centre in order to host bigger events. Therefore, the convention centre included in the Kenyalang Smart City development project is much welcomed.”
- YB Adam Yii Siew Sang
Mayor of Miri City
“Kenyalang Smart City will definitely have a very big impact on tourism as Miri is so ideally situated, with Mulu National Park as one of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites.”
