Malaysia Vision Valley

The Malaysia Vision Valley (MVV; Malay: Lembah Wawasan Malaysia; Jawi: لمبه واوسن مليسيا) is a growth corridor which encompasses the  districts of Seremban and Port Dickson in the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.

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 on a daily basis to work, including topographic factors - where the corridor between Kuala Lumpur and Negeri Sembilan is relatively flatter compared to the north - the urbanisation trend of the Klang Valley has been seen to push southwards over the years, causing new developments to spur up in bordering districts, especially Seremban and Port Dickson - both are also part of the National Conurbation.

Plans of launching an economic corridor spanning the two Negri districts was conceived in 2009 under the master plan by Sime Darby Property, but was shelved due to global economic slump. 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 decentralise the development of neighbouring Klang Valley, and poising western Negeri Sembilan as the southern extension of Greater Kuala Lumpur. The megaproject harnesses the spillover effect from the rapid development of Greater Kuala Lumpur, with a long-term goal to prepare Negeri Sembilan in becoming a developed state by 2045 and creating numerous job opportunities to native Negri citizens.

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. NS Corporation (NS Corp) is the statutory body responsible in establishing the MVV's direction, policies and strategies, and it is earmarked to contribute 15% of Malaysia's gross domestic product (GDP).

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 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.

Developments
The current version of the Malaysia Vision Valley consists of six developmental parcels :


 * Parcel A - Negeri Sembilan High Tech Industrial Park, which is the first phase of the MVV. The major projects within this parcel are Hamilton Nilai City (by Sime Darby Properties) and a bypass linking Nilai and Labu to Bandar Enstek. Outlying projects include Nilai Vision City (developed by GD Pavillion) as well as the township of Nilai Impian and XME Industrial Park, both under Sime Darby Properties.
 * Parcel B - Smart Country, including a new central business district, residential and commercial areas, and light to medium industries. The Seremban station building for the Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail will be built within this parcel in the near future. Nearby developments include Kota Seriemas (by Seriemas Development), Bandar Enstek (by TH Properties), Bandar Ainsdale (by Sime Darby Properties) and Bandar Sri Sendayan (by Matrix Concepts Holdings).
 * Parcel C - Negeri Sembilan Aerospace Valley (NSAV), which is earmarked to become the main hub of aerospace industry in Malaysia and Asia. It is situated between Bandar Sri Sendayan and Bandar Springhill (by MUI Properties).


 * Parcel D - Integrated Maritime Hub and Coastal Corridor, that encompasses the entire state waters within three nautical miles and is planned to develop the maritime industry in Port Dickson. Projects within this parcel include the development of the Port Dickson Coastal Special Area Plan and a smart container port  to support the development of NSAV and complementing Port Klang.
 * Parcel E - Electric and Unmanned Vehicle Valley (EUVV), primarily geared towards the development of electric and autonomous driving vehicles of aerial, marine (surface and underwater) and ground aspects.
 * Parcel F - Semiconductor Country, which focuses on semiconductor industries. Located in Senawang, it is the smallest parcel in land area. The major project in this parcel is the SPD Tech Valley (by Seri Pajam).
