Gamuda Land and TM embark on strategic collaboration on converged telecommunications services for Gamuda Gardens
Sungai Buloh: Gamuda Land and Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), via its business solutions arm, TM ONE, today inked a strategic collaboration at Gamuda Gardens sales gallery for the deployment of converged telecommunications services at Precinct 1 & Precinct 2 including Gaia Residences, the first service apartments at Gamuda Gardens.
Through this collaboration, approximately 1,500 units of residences in Gamuda Gardens will enjoy a 2-year complimentary unifi high speed internet service of 100Mbps; which will be upgraded to a higher bandwidth upon vacant possession (VP) of their homes. The complimentary package also comes with premium entertainment varieties from unifi TV which include LIVE sports, kids, lifestyle and international TV channels as well as telephony service.
At the event, representing Gamuda Land were Project Director Aw Sei Cheh and Executive Director of Sales & Marketing Lillian Lung who signed the agreement while State Vice President, TM Selangor, Dato’ Zuraidah Mohd Said and Head States, TM ONE, Nizamuddin Hashim represented TM.
“As one of Malaysia’s leading town-maker, Gamuda Land creates places that people will call home, want to be a part of, grow up and grow old in. One important aspect of creating a sustainable town is connecting people. Be it physical or digital connectivity, we are mindful throughout our masterplan design and architectural construction to incorporate the right facilities and technology to encourage interactions among people which are pertinent to building a sustainable community. Such demand is on an upward trend that has somewhat become a necessity, where high-speed internet is now almost as important to new home buyers as running water and electricity,” said Aw, adding that Gamuda Gardens’ property owners will expect high-speed internet connectivity to be available from the day they move in.
Meanwhile, Dato’ Zuraidah said, “Through this collaboration with another renown property developer, the provisioning of network and integrated infrastructure services for Gamuda Gardens enables future development of smart services to empower smart homes, smart city and smart community applications for residents to enjoy greater lifestyle, security, economic stability and enhanced quality of life.”
“In today’s digitally-connected environment, smart services adoption will pave the way for the development of smart cities. With our proven capabilities at TM, we aim to help property developers and local councils nationwide at solving the diverse challenges faced by urban areas in mobility and transportation, safety and security, environmental and social sustainability and public services which can be achieved through TM ONE’s comprehensive suite of smart solutions.,” she added.
Located at the confluence of three major highways, LATAR, Guthrie and North-South Expressways, Gamuda Gardens is a Malaysia Green Building Index Silver rated township with a gross development value of RM10 billion, offering a mix of residential and commercial developments. Its 6,000 residential units encompass link houses, linked villas, semi-detached, bungalows and service apartments.
The township’s first service apartment, Gaia Residences was recently launched last month, offering 500 units of four built-ups of 640 sq ft, 660 sq ft, 750 sq ft and 900 sq ft starting from an indicative price of RM360, 000.
Gamuda Gardens’ upcoming commercial hub houses retail lots, corporate offices, a shopping mall and shops with the Waterfront Retail Village Square situated at the centre of the town serves as gathering places where the community can get to know one another.
Dubbed “in a garden where happiness lives”, the key feature of Gamuda Gardens is the five cascading lakes that flows into 2 waterfalls which are integrated into a 50-acre central park with a mixed-terrain jogging and cycling trail as well as various pocket parks.
“A town that works must have all the right places, so we do not only think of the home place, but also the work place, park place, gathering place, shopping place, the learning place. Now with TM on board complementing the digital connectivity, Gamuda Gardens in short connects an individual with the community, the nature and the world through its strategic location, facilities and technology,” added Aw.
Gamuda Gardens is located just 5km away from Kundang Estates, a boutique development that offers tranquil countryside living by Gamuda Land.

As the sole local CSP, TM One will ensure data sovereignty and greater trust, privacy and security in the migration and storage of Government and citizen data With the Malaysian Government’s Cloud Framework Agreement (CFA) formalised, the appointed Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) must now demonstrate their strategic offerings to potential clients. Anticipating the extended capabilities needed to implement the Government’s strategic shift to cloud, TM One, the enterprise and public sector business arm of Telekom Malaysia Group (TM), continues to expand its data centre portfolio. Furthermore, as the sole local CSP, TM One’s established in-country data centres, infrastructure and services ensure that all operations and transactions are independent of foreign regulations or third-party policies and requirements – which imparts greater agility and trust in the migration and supervision of Government and citizen data. Imri Mokhtar, Group Chief Executive Officer of TM said, “As Malaysia’s leader in end-to-end cloud and data centre services, we are committed to strengthening our digital offerings to meet the Government’s MyGovCloud requirements. Investing into the growth of our data centres will enable us to manage the volumes of public data throughout and after the migration process. Our locally-based infrastructure and cloud services also enable us to support the unique needs of the Malaysian Government, especially on data sovereignty.” With several carrier-neutral data centre facilities in Malaysia and one in Hong Kong that operate as multi-cloud providers for various hyperscalers, TM One is on course to launch its tenth centre, which will be a Tier III/Rated 3 Data Centre, anticipated to be unveiled in Q3 2022. With no less than 3MW of power and the ability to accommodate 700 equipment racks, this data centre will aim to improve power efficiency through its cooling system design which runs on modular air-cooled chillers. Across the board, TM One continues to strive towards achieving lower Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) while meeting the SLA of the customers. Similar to TM’s other globally certified hyperscale data centres in the Klang Valley, Iskandar Puteri and Brickfields, this new centre will also conform to security standards and certifications including ISO27001, PCI DSS, DCRA and TVRA which will safeguard the Government’s data and assets. Shazurawati Abd Karim, Executive Vice President of TM One said, “This latest edition to TM One’s data centres will include enhanced data security capabilities through TM One’s Cyber Defence Centre (CYDEC), addressing the Government’s potential risk areas including cybersecurity, compliance, privacy, ethics and social responsibility. To facilitate the transformative journey of individual Government agencies, TM One’s Professional Services team, along with our partner MSP, Cloud Connect, will work closely with these agencies on Cloud Design Planning, Migration Services, and Workload Optimisation Services, customising the solutions and experiences to the unique needs of each agency.” Cloud Connect, a local cloud broker and software engineering company will partner with TM One as its dedicated MSP. Having worked with service providers, enterprises, small-and-medium businesses, as well as Government agencies for a decade, Cloud Connect has a proven track record of implementing multiple enterprise integration projects, bringing together the right people, processes, and technological capabilities. This makes Cloud Connect the perfect fit to deliver TM One’s end-to-end cloud infrastructure and services to Government institutions in their transformation journey. Also addressing the importance of data residency, locality and sovereignty in the MyGovCloud endeavour, Shazurawati explains, “Our hyperscaled and intelligent cloud solutions and data centre facilities are governed by the laws of Malaysia, which guarantees data sovereignty and privacy for the Malaysian Government and its citizens. This removes the need and risk of foreign laws and policy intervention or inclusion, ensuring data privacy and security, while enabling greater flexibility and agility in Government services. “With our deep understanding of the Malaysian landscape and a full suite of established services and infrastructure, we are confident that our infrastructure, solutions, and partnership with Cloud Connect will enable the Government to reach their next advantage, today and tomorrow,” she concluded.
