KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 (Bernama) -- Central Spectrum (M) Sdn. Bhd. (Central Spectrum), the master developer of Pulau Indah, has inked a strategic partnership with Halal International Selangor (HIS) to develop ‘The Magnet— Selangor Global HIS Village’, a next-generation integrated hub designed to solidify Selangor’s status as the premier global gateway for halal trade and investment.
The Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) was formally exchanged today between Mr. Amran Abdul Wahab, Chief Operating Officer of Central Spectrum, and Mr. Muhammad Khushairi Mat Lasar, Chief Executive Officer of HIS. The signing ceremony was witnessed by YB Tuan Dr. Mohammad Fahmi Ngah, Member of the Selangor State Executive Council, and Yang Berusaha Tuan Mohd Zapi Abdullah, Board Member of Central Spectrum.
The signing was a highlight of the Soft Launch Ceremony for the Selangor Halal4Vibe Fest 2025, held at the Pavilion Selangor in MITEC.
Building upon the legacy of the iconic Selangor Halal Hub launched in 2003, The Magnet— Selangor Global HIS Village is engineered for unparalleled success in the modern halal economy. Its strategic advantages include direct access to Westports, one of the world’s busiest container terminals, proximity to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), and seamless connectivity to Malaysia’s major highway network.
Moving beyond a traditional industrial park, The Magnet will feature a holistic ecosystem with halal-compliant infrastructure, built with 32 factory units, 14 units of food and beverage (F&B) kiosks, collaborative event spaces, lush greenery -roof top garden and dedicated advisory support from HIS. This integrated approach is designed to empower both halal SMEs and multinational corporations to scale and thrive.
“This collaboration is a game-changer. It will establish Selangor Global HIS Village as the international ‘Address for Halal Trust’, creating a powerful magnet for global brands seeking to enter and thrive in the booming halal market through Selangor,” said Mr. Amran Abdul Wahab, COO of CSSB.
Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Muhammad Khushairi Mat Lasar, CEO of HIS, added, “HIS is proud to partner in this visionary project. The Magnet is more than infrastructure; it is the future engine for halal innovation and growth. Our advisory support, combined with this world-class ecosystem, will provide businesses with an end-to-end solution—from certification to market access. This is how we will not just participate in the global halal economy, but actively lead it, starting right here in Selangor.”
The MoC signing marks the beginning of the journey towards the Selangor Halal4Vibe Fest 2025, an inaugural initiative that will culminate in a major showcase celebrating Selangor’s pivotal role as the Halal Gateway of Asia. The event will convene entrepreneurs, investors, and global stakeholders to highlight halal innovation, inclusivity, and lucrative market opportunities.
