Reclamation works for Penang’s Silicon Island project have surpassed the 200-acre mark, marking steady advancement in the state’s largest land reclamation initiative. The development spans 2,300 acres in total, divided into two phases — 1,260 acres in Phase One and 1,040 acres in Phase Two.

To commemorate the milestone, Penang Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Ramli Ngah Talib and his consort, Toh Puan Raja Noora Ashikin Raja Abdullah, visited the project site, crossing to Silicon Island via a 378m temporary steel bridge at Permatang Damar Laut. They were accompanied by state Infrastructure, Transport and Digital Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari, Deputy State Secretary (Development) Mohamed Abdul Rahman, Southwest District police chief ACP Sazalee Adam and other officials, including representatives from Penang Infrastructure Corporation Sdn Bhd (PIC), Silicon Island Development Sdn Bhd (SIDSB) and SRS Consortium.

During the visit, the delegation was briefed on upcoming facilities that will shape the island’s future. Among them is a 380m marine viaduct, a key link within the Pan Island Link 2A (PIL2A) highway project. Scheduled for completion by January 2029, the viaduct will feature four lanes in each direction, enhancing connectivity between Penang island’s southern coast, Silicon Island and the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge.

Plans are also underway for a 0.8ha Matang Food Court and Community Hub, which will include a Village Community Management Council (MPKK) hall, a Fishermen’s One-Stop Service Centre, food stalls, restaurants and storage facilities. To support the initial water needs of Silicon Island, a suction tank and pump house will be constructed near the food court, with work expected to begin in October and finish by the end of 2027.

PIC chief executive officer Datuk Seri Farizan Darus described the reclamation progress as an encouraging indicator of the project’s momentum. He said the initiative is designed to underpin Penang’s long-term growth, combining infrastructure, sustainable development practices and community-oriented facilities. “Every element — from the marine viaduct to the community facilities — has been integrated to serve both economic and social needs,” he explained.

Farizan also highlighted the Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) as part of the project’s commitment to local communities. To date, RM11.7 million in ex gratia payments has been distributed to 791 eligible fishermen. In addition, 118 of 295 active boat-owning fishermen have received new boats and engines under an assistance scheme, representing an expenditure of nearly RM10 million.

“These initiatives are intended to provide financial security and modern equipment for fishermen, ensuring that they can continue their livelihood more sustainably and efficiently,” he said.

With reclamation steadily progressing and community measures underway, Silicon Island is moving towards its vision of becoming a hub for investment, infrastructure and inclusive development in Penang.

The government is drafting amendments to the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 (Act 118) to extend its scope to problematic commercial developments, including shop lots and offices.

Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the current law only regulates residential projects by requiring developers to obtain licences under strict conditions, leaving commercial developments outside its jurisdiction.

Under the proposed changes, enforcement will be strengthened by blacklisting not only the developer company but also its board members, parent company, subsidiaries and ultimate beneficial owners linked to abandoned or sick projects. Engagement sessions with authorities and stakeholders are ongoing, and the bill is expected to be tabled in Parliament next year.

“With the proposed amendments, we want more holistic and effective enforcement to safeguard buyers and strengthen accountability in the property sector,” Nga said during a parliamentary question-and-answer session on Monday.

As of June 30, 2025, there were 233 delayed developments and 360 sick projects nationwide. A task force under the ministry has revived 220 sick projects, which have since obtained Certificates of Completion and Compliance, while another 14 projects were reclassified as “projek lancar” (smooth-progress projects).

Currently, developers and board members involved in abandoned or sick housing projects are blacklisted, and any other companies linked to the same directors are barred from applying for new licences. Existing housing development accounts under such entities are also frozen.

Nga stressed that expanding Act 118 will close regulatory gaps and protect buyers of both residential and commercial properties.

Batu Kawan, Penang – Aspen proudly unveils Phase 2 of Viluxe, Viluxe II: Courtyard Collection, an exclusive release of just 61 limited-edition landed homes that redefines modern multigenerational living in Aspen Vision City.

Set within a vibrant 247-acre master-planned township, Viluxe II: Courtyard Collection presents an exclusive opportunity to own a private landed residence with a feature seldom found in today’s market. A glass-encased internal courtyard thoughtfully designed as the heart of the home.

“Since handing over the keys for Phase 1, we have received heartfelt feedback from homeowners. It reaffirmed what we believed from the start. The market is ready for a more refined and exquisite landed development. Viluxe II: Courtyard Collection delivers just that,” said Ir. Anilarasu, Group Managing Director of Aspen.

The Courtyard: More Than Design, A Way of Living

At the heart of the home lies a thoughtfully integrated courtyard. Not merely an architectural feature, but a functional lifestyle asset that enhances everyday living:

Natural Light & Ventilation: The courtyard acts as a natural light well, bringing sunlight into the heart of the home and improving airflow throughout the house – making it energy-efficient and healthier for occupants.

Private Outdoor Retreat: Whether you’re sipping morning coffee, hosting a weekend BBQ, or tending to a small garden, the courtyard becomes your private sanctuary – right in the centre of your home.

Safe Play Area for Kids: The enclosed nature of the courtyard and private garden ensures children can play outdoors within a safe, visible, and secure space.

Flexible Use: Homeowners can transform the courtyard into anything – a mini Zen garden, a reading corner or even an al fresco dining space.

Improved Well-being: Studies have shown that access to natural light and green spaces significantly boosts mental wellness and reduces stress – making this design not just beautiful but beneficial.

Refined Inside and Out

Building on the success of Phase 1, which delivered 174 completed homes to enthusiastic response, Viluxe II: Courtyard Collection elevates the concept with larger built-ups, elegant facades and greater attention to natural light and spatial flow.

Each 2.5-storey residence is designed for multigenerational living, offering 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and built-up sizes ranging from 20’ x 65’ to 34’ x 85’ or 2,521 Sqft. to 3,399 Sqft. Homeowners will also enjoy the assurance of four-tier security including License Plate Recognition (LPR) vehicle access, guarded entrances, 6 feet perimeter fencing and CCTV surveillance.

The Evergreen Alley Garden, a landscaped back lane encourages neighbourly interaction, quiet strolls and a deeper connection to nature.

The Best of Batu Kawan at Your Doorstep

Located just five minutes from the Batu Kawan Industrial Parks, Viluxe II: Courtyard Collection places residents in the heart of Penang’s most dynamic growth corridor. Often referred to as the third satellite township and the Silicon Valley of the East, this area is one of the most vibrant in northern Malaysia.

Undertaken by a state-linked developer, the project illustrates how new urban functions can be layered onto existing heritage fabric, reflecting ongoing shifts in the way cities balance growth with preservation.
