Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

PETALING JAYA: Selangor is closer to its aspiration to become a smart, competitive and regional leader in green economy and food security with the development of an EduTechnology Park and Food Security Hub on Carey Island.

Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the project not only reflected the state government’s vision but also strengthened Carey Island’s position as an international hub for technology-driven development, education, and food security.

The project will be undertaken via a series of memoranda of understanding between Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd which will spearhead the project, and three other entities – SD Guthrie Bhd, IJM Corp Bhd and Yayasan Selangor.

According to Amirudin, Yayasan Selangor will be tasked with developing an international-standard campus to enhance educational access and build human capital at the EduTechnology Park.

“Yayasan Selangor will play a key role in developing education facilities for the next generation.

‘This is not just a physical investment, but an investment in the younger generation of Selangor,” he said in a joint statement.

SD Guthrie will be the developer of the project, marking the second strategic collaboration to builds parts of the group’s land on Carey Island, which is 79% owned by the company.
