Cyberjaya is a township that forms a key part of the Multimedia Super Corridor in Malaysia. It is situated about 50 km from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.
Cyberjaya spans an area about 28.94 square kilometres (7,000 acres) the city is the nucleus of the country's vision for the next millennium, the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC). Promising to be the city of the future, it will soon be the homeground for many IT & technology companies.
The official opening ceremony for Cyberjaya was held in July 1999 by prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad. Since then, a number of high-tech companies have relocated to Cyberjaya. A flagship early component of Cyberjaya was the Multimedia University, known locally as MMU.
The site for Cyberjaya was primarily undeveloped land consisting of oil palm plantations. It has since seen extensive building activities including a small mall, a boutique hotel, and numerous commercial buildings. As of 2004, Cyberjaya still lacks significant residential properties resulting in de-population of the area when office workers commute home every night.
Cyberjaya is approximately 40 minutes from the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, 30 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and less that one hour from Port Klang, the nation's main port. It is connected to all main business districts by a network of highways. There is no railway station in Cyberjaya, even though the KLIA Ekspres railway line passes almost the whole length of Cyberjaya's eastern border.
