The initiative aims to attract businesses seeking a modern, sustainable industrial environment with high connectivity and incentives. Fadli Mohd Ariff, PKNS general manager of Sales and Marketing, highlighted the project's advantages during the PKNS Industry Exhibition 2025 at Galeria SA Sentral.

The development offers exclusive amenities such as a professional club, co-working spaces, and high-speed internet, enhancing productivity within a gated industrial park.

Selangor forest fires under control but peatlands still high risk, says MB
SHAH ALAM, July 25 — The forest fire in several areas in Selangor is now under control, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. Amirudin said, however, the focus and attention on monitoring in peatland areas is still being carried out as the risk of fire is greater and difficult to control. 'There were three fire incidents, namely in Kuala Kubu Bharu, Kajang and Seri Gombak. But Alhamdulillah they were brought under control immediately. 'We are currently monitoring the situation in Kuala Kubu Bharu to ensure that it does not continue. What we are worried about is in the peatland area, because if (a fire) occurs, it will take a long time and involve a larger operation,' he said. He told reporters after officiating the third Children's Book Festival at the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) Complex here today. Meanwhile, Amirudin said the state government through the Public Health and Environment Exco Jamaliah Jamaluddin and the State Disaster Management Unit had been mobilised to monitor the haze situation on a daily basis. He said the monitoring also included more frequent patrols in hotspots and high-risk areas so that fires, in particular, would not recur. Meanwhile, commenting on the Selangor Children's Book Festival 2025, Amirudin said that the third edition proved the state government's commitment in strengthening the book industry ecosystem, especially in the children's segment. He said that apart from organising the general book festival which is usually held every year, Selangor also focused on organising a special book fair for children to open up more space for local publishers to market their works. He said more than 160 stalls were set up in this year's book fair, including book publishers as well as various agencies and organisations related to children, with an estimated 80,000 visitors expected to enliven the four-day fair starting yesterday at the PKNS Complex. — Bernama

PKNS' BizMatch Mega Platform For Entrepreneurs To Expand Networks
SHAH ALAM, July 23 (Bernama) -- The Selangor State Development Corporation's (PKNS) BizMatch Mega 2025 programme, which has drawn the participation of more than 1,500 entrepreneurs, serves as a vital platform to strengthen and expand business networks through access to financing and entrepreneurship support. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the initiative was in line with the state's entrepreneurship development agenda, aimed at helping entrepreneurs engage directly with selected financing agencies to further grow their businesses. He said capital constraints had caused many individuals to postpone their plans to start a business, despite the government offering various forms of financial assistance for that purpose. 'Bank loans are not the only option and therefore PKNS has taken steps to provide an open platform to help entrepreneurs access information, advisory services and financing opportunities. 'The initiatives and efforts by PKNS to promote entrepreneurship among the people of Selangor are consistent and ongoing, and their impact is evident through the success and participation of many entrepreneurs in programmes such as BizMatch and SelBiz (Selangor Entrepreneur Expo),' he told a press conference after officiating the BizMatch Mega 2025 here today. Among the financing and entrepreneurship agencies involved in the programme are Agrobank, Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), SME Bank, TEKUN Nasional, Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), Selangor Zakat Board and SIRIM Bhd. Apart from the business matching session, BizMatch Mega also features the PKNS BizPoint Pavilion, which provides information on PKNS entrepreneurship programmes, property projects, and PKNS BizClub membership opportunities. Amirudin also commended the commitment shown by PKNS, which has produced over 10,000 entrepreneurs through programmes under its Entrepreneur Development Division and continues to remain active while other state economic development corporations (SEDCs) face various challenges. 'PKNS is among the few SEDCs that has managed to consistently and successfully implement economic and entrepreneurial development plans,' he said.
