TheMalaysia Vision Valley (MVV;Malay:Lembah Wawasan Malaysia) is a development corridor that encompasses the districts ofSeremban andPort Dickson in the state ofNegeri Sembilan,Malaysia. The corridor was initially established on 21 May 2015, and it forms the southern continuation of theGreater Kuala Lumpur area.
The state ofNegeri Sembilan has a very close proximity to the heavily developedKlang Valley area and is very well connected via major arteries. Driven by the increase ofcommuters from the state commuting daily to work, including topographic factors - where the corridor betweenKuala Lumpur and Negeri Sembilan is relatively flatter compared to the north - theurban sprawl of the Klang Valley has been seen to push southwards over the years,[1] causing new developments to spur up in bordering districts, especiallySeremban andPort 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 bySime Darby Property but was pigeonholed due to the global economic slump.[3] Under the leadership ofMohamad Hasan, theMenteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, andPrime 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 theEleventh Malaysia Plan (11MP), the National Physical Plan (NPP), and the state's 45-year modernization plan, which intends to decentralize the development of neighboringKlang Valley, and poising western Negeri Sembilan as the southern extension ofGreater Kuala Lumpur.[4][5][6][7][8] The megaproject harnesses thespillover 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 ofBarisan Nasional government in the14th 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'sgross domestic product (GDP).[12][13]
The Malaysia Vision Valley is located immediately south of theKlang Valley, covering the districts ofSeremban andPort Dickson in the western half of Negeri Sembilan, roughly defined by theNilai–Seremban–Port Dickson growth triangle. It directly borders theMSC Malaysia corridor to its north.
In comparison, the MVV is twice the size ofSingapore but one and a half times smaller thanJohor'sIskandar Malaysia, with a total land area of 1,534 km².
