Creating the Silicon Valley of the East 2.0 on Penang's mainland
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 6): Penang is often dubbed the Silicon Valley of the East, thanks to its strong and vibrant electrical and electronics (E&E) ecosystem.
It began in the 1970s when The Eight Samurai — Intel, Robert Bosch, Clarion, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Hewlett-Packard (HP) (now Keysight Technologies and Agilent Technologies), Litronix (now Osram Opto Semiconductors), Hitachi (now Renesas Electronics) and National Semiconductor — established their operations in Penang.
As the E&E sector continues to grow with the adoption of new, innovative and advanced technology, the multinational corporations (MNCs) have created opportunities for other mid- and downstream players, as well as local companies that provide supporting activities.
WESTERN DIGITAL BATU KAWAN RECOGNIZED AS MALAYSIA'S FIRST LIGHTHOUSE BY THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
The Global Lighthouse Network (GLN) is an initiative by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in collaboration with McKinsey & Company. It honours manufacturing leaders that have shown successful adoption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies to transform factories, value chains and business models.
READ MOREThat explains why Malaysian semiconductor-related players are particularly strong in the area of outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and automated test equipment (ATE), as their founders and CEOs were trained by the MNCs in Penang.
Over the years, Penang, or more specifically Bayan Lepas, has evolved into a regional electronics manufacturing hub.
However, the narrative may be changing, as Batu Kawan has emerged in recent years as a strong E&E cluster. Not only is the Batu Kawan Industrial Park (BKIP) expected to replicate the success story of Bayan Lepas, it may even outshine its 50-year-old counterpart.
Located off Seberang Perai on the mainland of Penang, Batu Kawan is intended to be the state’s third satellite town after Bayan Baru and Seberang Jaya. But does it have what it takes to become the Silicon Valley of the East 2.0?
There is no better person to ask than Invest-in-Penang Bhd CEO Datuk Loo Lee Lian, who has been promoting investments in the state since 2010.
The Edge also spoke to a few prominent business executives and captains of industry, including Micron Technology Inc president and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra and Lam Research International Sdn Bhd general manager Soon K Kuek, to get their views on investments in BKIP.
AND THIS
Greatech Technology Bhd, Pentamaster Corp Bhd and UWC Bhd announced they are collectively taking up 14 hectares of land valued at RM520 million in the Batu Kawan Industrial Park in a press conference with the Penang State government on Friday. The projects are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2022 and will create up to 1,300 jobs for the locals when completed and fully functional.

ABOUT RM2.395,799.98 MILLIONS AN ACRE
SO FROM THESE FIGURES WE GET THE SAME PRICE BOTH PENTA & GREATEC ARE PAYING FOR LEASEHOLD LANDS IN BATU KAWAN
NOW WE SHALL SEE BPLANT ASSETS NEAR BATU KAWAN
PLEASE REFER TO BURSA WEBSITE LOOK FOR BOUSTEAD PLANTATION
SCROLL DOWN TO PROPERTIES OWNED BY BPLANT
UNDER TASEK GELUGOR
Malakoff Estate, Tasek Glugor,
RM2.395,799.98 DIVIDES BY RM45,989.75
= 52.09 (X) Times More
OR JUST 1.9% OF THEIR CURRENT MARKET VALUE
BPLANT HAS A 100 YEAR HISTORY FROM THE DAYS OF BOUSTEAD. SO BPLANT ASSETS ARE REAL GOLD MINES SITTING ON ANCIENT BOOK VALUE
BATU KAWAN WILL SEE ANOTHER INCREASE OF 1,300 JOBS FROM NEW E&E FOCTORIES
SO DEMAND FOR HOUSES WILL RISE. TASEK GELUGOR LANDS OF BPLANT WILL ALSO RISE IN TANDEM
SEE DISTANCE
What is the currect Value of Tasek Gelugor Lands ?
For that we can refer to Scientex's early purchase this year
Scientex acquires land in Penang to build more affordable homes
Its chief executive officer Lim Peng Jin said the first phase of Scientex Tasek Gelugor, launched in October 2020 has recorded a take-up rate of more than 90 per cent to date.
Houses in Tasek Gelugor has sold like hot cakes - more than 90% sold

The packaging manufacturer and property developer is expanding its current landbank in Penang to 523 acres where it is acquiring three parcels of freehold agriculture land measuring a total of 343 acres in North Seberang Perai.
The company's wholly-owned subsidiaries Scientex Quatari Sdn Bhd and Scientex (Skudai) Sdn Bhd have entered into two separate sales and purchase agreements with Sunrich Conquest Sdn Bhd and Titanium Greenview Sdn Bhd respectively to acquire the land parcels for RM246.7 million.
So Scientex is buying 343 Acres of lands for Rm246.7 Millions
To get Cost per acre
Divides Rm246.7 Millions by 343 acres
= RM719,241 per acre
Above was done in April 2021 (7 months ago) before they call BATU KAWAN Penang Silicon 2
By now land prices should appreciate further
If we take same value of Rm719,241 per acre
The Updated value of BPLANT lands will be
1,389 x Rm719,241
= RM999 MILLIONS (Almost worth 1 Billion Ringgit)
That is over 40 sen Net Cash just from this piece (Bplant has Clusters of Prime Lands all over Malaysia
Penang, Kedah Clusters alone has a total of 8 Estates
Imagine how grossly undervalue is Bplant. Only Thplant lands could match Bplant as Thplant got over 240,000 acres of Plantation lands book value as low as Rm4,000 an acre
Since BPlant has designated 60% cash profit as dividend we can expect Good Dividend Years to return
