From guava groves to green grids, Tanjong Malim is positioning itself as Malaysia’s next industrial and digital hub. Energy-ready land, robust infrastructure, and strategic location converge here to make room for bold possibilities in automotive and data-led development.
-- Nestled along the Bernam River, Tanjong Malim has long been a quiet stalwart of Malaysia’s historical and educational narrative. Today, that story is taking a distinctly forward-looking turn—one shaped by high-tech ambition, strategic investments, and infrastructure readiness.
Once known for its guava orchards and peaceful riverside life, the town’s journey has been anything but static. From being a stronghold during the Pahang Civil War to a site of conflict in World War II, and later a centre for teacher training through the Sultan Idris Training College (now UPSI), Tanjong Malim has never stopped adapting.
But today’s shift is different. It’s structural. Intentional. And wide in scope.
With the emergence of the Automotive High-Tech Valley (AHTV)—a collaboration between DRB-HICOM and Geely—Tanjong Malim is at the heart of a RM40 billion push to drive Malaysia’s next industrial era. Proton’s relocation from Shah Alam is just one piece of the puzzle. Surrounding the AHTV are five key land parcels, quietly primed for energy-intensive and infrastructure-heavy development.
These parcels, positioned around the town’s transport grid and natural water basins, are not just zoned for growth—they are logistically and energetically prepared. Reliable access to water, electricity, and telecommunications is already in place. Plots sit close to expressways, rail links, and major ports, minimising development friction.
At a time when industrial land in southern Malaysia is saturated and power grids are strained, Tanjong Malim offers a unique balance: ready-made infrastructure, strategic distance from urban congestion, and room to scale responsibly.
And the timing couldn’t be more aligned. With the rise of AI infrastructure, data centre needs, and green manufacturing corridors, site-readiness is no longer a luxury—it’s a prerequisite. In Tanjong Malim, the groundwork is not theoretical—it’s operational.
This isn’t to say the town is only about industry. Its cultural vibrancy endures: the century-old SJK(C) Chung Sin still educates young minds, Yik Mun Restaurant continues to feed travellers and locals alike, and monuments to history—from the Battle of Slim River to early Bugis settlements—still offer context to newcomers.
Yet a subtle tension persists. While southern and coastal hubs continue to receive policy and investment attention, Tanjong Malim, despite its assets, remains under-discussed.
That’s where collaborative platforms like SG Samak come into focus. By surfacing overlooked regions with strategic merit, SG Samak’s work highlights how townships like Tanjong Malim could answer national priorities in green energy, education, and digital inclusion.

The town’s story is no longer only one of heritage. With five energy-ready, well-connected land plots anchoring a national high-tech initiative, Tanjong Malim now stands at a powerful intersection: where Malaysia’s past meets its infrastructural future.
