GD Holdings partners with Manipal International University (Nilai) to boost economic, academic growth

NILAI in Negri Sembilan is a vibrant and promising small town that is experiencing multidimensional economic growth.

Thanks to its unique geographical advantage, with proximity to the KL International Airport (KLIA) and Port Klang in the Klang Valley, coupled with the government’s pro-business policies, Nilai has successfully attracted up to RM9bil in foreign investments.

The city has quickly risen from a small town to an international investment hotspot. Driven by globalisation and digitalisation trends, particularly in cross-border e-commerce and logistics, the region's economic advantages have become increasingly prominent.

Nilai also serves as a convergence point for Malaysia’s Vision Valley 2.0 and the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), and has become a focal point for high-end industrial and technology investments within Malaysia’s Vision Valley master plan.

Global education hub

GD Holdings has partnered strategically with Manipal International University (Nilai) and other international educational institutions to jointly promote an international education hub and industrial development project in Nilai.

“This collaboration aims to strengthen Nilai’s position in the field of international education, as well as to position the region as a rapidly developing academic hub that attracts global students and scholars,” said GD Holdings Group vice chairman Datuk Wong Seng Tong.

“It is also expected to provide various high-quality employment opportunities, especially in education, research and related services, which could enhance local educational resources, stimulate educational innovation, and play a crucial role in improving the quality of education and talent development,” he added.

International cooperation such as this enhances Nilai’s global presence while establishing a solid foundation for its economy and education system.

“By building a strategic partnership with leading universities, GD Holdings has carefully curated a ‘Campus Accommodation Plan’ that is seamlessly integrated into the academic environment,” said Wong.

This not only offers a fresh perspective to students on campus life but also enables university students to enjoy a healthier and higher quality lifestyle through the comprehensive community life services offered.

These services encompass health and recreation facilities, as well as social and cultural activities that enrich the students’ daily lives and encourage their overall personal development.

This innovative cooperation model has not only successfully attracted many long-term student tenants, as it has also increased the long-term asset value and stable income stream for local properties.
