Chuping Valley Development Plan
10.4.2 Phase 1 – RMK11 (2016 – 2020)
         Phase 1 development will consist of main infrastructure of
         earthworks, roads, sewerage, drainage, water supply,
         electricity, telecommunication and natural gas supply along the
         main road network within the development to cater for
         investors in four parcels namely parcels 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D.
         The timeline for the implementation will be within the Eleventh
         Malaysian Plan period (2016-2020).
         The implementation will comprise three stages namely, design,
         tender and construction stages. It is anticipated that the design
         stage will take nine months to complete, the tender stage will
         take three months to complete and construction stage will take
         45 months.
         The estimated implementation cost for Phase 1 is summarised
         in Table 10.26.

Chuping Valley Development Plan
10.5 Business Implementation
         The implementation timeline provides an indication of when the
         various non-infrastructural elements will be put into place.
         The Delivery Management Office (“DMO”), as proposed NCIA, will be
         the first to be established because currently there are no dedicated
         resources to manage the project. The tenure of the DMO has not been
         fixed so the duration of its role in this timeline is assumed to last 24
         months for illustration purposes. The actual duration will be
         determined by the Perlis State Government in conjunction with NCIA.
         When the DMO is in place:
         1. The preparations for submission to MIDA and MOF for the
              proposed incentives and benefits can start at the same time. This
              has an estimated duration of 3 months. However, as the
              processing time by these various authorities is subject to their
              respective commitments, the timeline for this has not been
              included.
         2. Efforts to reach out to investors and also to screen potential
              investors can commence since the necessary people will be in
              place. This will be a continuous process which will stretch into the
              longer term until the park is fully occupied or when the
              management determines to cease these programs.
         3. Finally, the commencement of the development of the ecosystem
              will also start once work on the infrastructure has reached a state
              where the physical evidence can be marketed to potential
              investors. These initiatives will also continue into the longer term
              because as more and more investors establish themselves in the
              park, the will be greater demand so the efforts required would
              commensurately increase.
                                                                                                                 June 2015

10.6 Perlis Inland Port Implementation
         Perlis Inland Port (PIP) development is located on the north of
         Lembah Chuping and covers an area of 500 acres. Major Component
         identified are a logistic hub, industries and support facilities.
         The development of PIP could strengthen the position of Perlis as a
         logistic hub with consideration of spill over benefits to the state’s socio
         economic growth.
         To support the development of PIP, the following land transport
         infrastructures are necessary:
              a) Railway Track – between PIP and existing double track
              b) Flyover – above railway track
              c) New road between Padang Besar and PIP
         Figure 10.13 shows the proposed layout for the development of PIP.

Chuping Valley Development Plan
The Delivery Management Office (“DMO”), as proposed by NCIA, will be the first
to be established. The actual duration will be determined by the Perlis State
Government in conjunction with NCIA. The next to be established is the Separate
Legal Entity (“SLE”) which is envisaged to take over from the DMO. Once the
SLE is in place, the park management may be set up.
NEXT STEPS
With the setting up of Delivery Management Office (DMO), the following
documents/ report/works would need to be prepared at the preliminary stage:
• Lembah Chuping Masterplan
• Infrastructure & Utilities Masterplan
• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
• Social Impact Assessment (SIA)
• Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)
• Road Safety Audit (RSA)
• Survey works (topographical survey, soil investigation, utility mapping) for
     Masterplan
Next Stage would be detailed design of earthworks, road work, drainage, water
supply and sewerage, electrical, telecommunication, and natural gas supply.
Detailed design of the above would be submitted to relevant approving authorities
for approval prior to tender and construction.

Given the allotted acreage of each industry in Lembah Chuping, the average
acreage per firm (per industry) was used to calculate the maximum number of
firms that would be able to enter Lembah Chuping. The numbers of firms (per
industry) was then multiplied by the average number of employees per firm to
find the potential number of jobs that could be created (per industry). These
industry totals were summed up to calculate the total number of jobs created
in Lembah Chuping.

Appendix 2: Lifestyle Infrastructure Methodology
Overview
The following methodology is used to assess the ease of access, and the
availability of lifestyle services in and around Lembah Chuping. To do this,
KPMG chose five parks to benchmark; (1) Hsinchu Science Park, (2)
Singapore Science Park, (3) Ecoworld Styria, (4) Kulim Hi-Tech Park and (5)
Techpark@Enstek. With the use of business directories, tenant lists and other
relevant sources, businesses were identified.
One (or multiple) areas were selected within benchmarked parks as the focal
points on which to calculate an average distance (between surrounding
lifestyle services and the industrial park itself). These focal points were
selected based on areas with a high density of businesses.
The distance (km) of the closest 20 lifestyle businesses and services (if
available) to these focal points (across all five (5) benchmarked industrial
parks) was calculated, based on type of lifestyle service observed:
i) Healthcare services
ii) Financial services
iii) Educational services
iv) Food and Beverage (F&B) services
An overall average for each type of lifestyle service (across the benchmark
parks) was then calculated. The average distance was then applied to the
focal points of each park, to assess the number of services that fell within this
range; this was done to assess the availability of lifestyle services in each
park.
Steps
The specifics of this methodology are laid out over the course of the five (5)
following steps:
Step 1: Identifying the list of local businesses and companies and their
respective distances
Focal point(s) are chosen based on the density of the companies and
businesses. Depending on park size, multiple focal points could be chosen.
An average is calculated for each industry sector (e.g. Healthcare Services –
General, Clinic, Hospital, etc.) based on the proximity of the closest 20
establishments.
Step 2: Calculating the average distance
Figure 11.1 shows the method in calculating an average distance for
Singapore Science Park.
Due to the extensiveness of the industrial park, one focal point has been
chosen for each park phase (e.g. Science Park 1 and Science Park 2) (See
Figure 11.1; Midpoint 1 and Midpoint 2).
In Singapore Science Park, a total of 17 financial services were identified.
This total includes different types of financial services offered in and around
the park’s surrounding vicinity (e.g. Commercial Banks, Automatic Teller
Machines ATM). The same method is applied across the other industry
                                                                                                                 June 2015
                                                                                                                 Page 11-3
Chuping Valley Development Plan
sectors (e.g. Educational Services, Healthcare Services, Food and Beverages
Services, General Stores and Other Services)
Once the total number of services has been identified, the data is sorted from
the closest to the furthest distance; filtering out the closest 20 services
to/around the park; an average was calculated based on selected services.
For parks with two or more central areas (focal points), an average of both
focal points is taken (See Figure 11.2; Financial Services; General; (3.34 +
5.16) / 2 = 4.25). The same method is applied across the other services.
The same method was used to calculate an average for all benchmarked
industrial parks.
Step 3: Consolidating the information
The average of all parks and their respective services were consolidated as
shown in Figure 11.3.
Step 4: Averaging the average
An average of all average distances was then calculated using the sum of
each category divided by its total number (See Figure 11.3; Financial
Services; General; (7.4 + 5.16 + 4.25 + 1.68 + 1.69) / 5 = 4.04). The same
method was applied across other services across other industrial parks.
Step 5: Putting the information together
Table 11.2 shows the consolidated average distances calculated (per
service).
This average was then applied to the list of services identified within the
average range were identified and filtered out. (See Table 11.2)
Figure 11.3 illustrates the total number of services which fall within the range
of the calculated average distance.

Appendix 3: Determining Complementary/ Competing Nature of
Industrial Estates
Step 1: Compilation of Industrial Estate Tenants
The compiling of tenant lists for each industrial estate was done through
desktop research, and using client-provided resources (for Bukit Kayu Hitam
and Kulim High Tech Park). In general, the following business directories
were used to obtain necessary information:
         Company Websites
         Malaysia Biz List2
         Yellow Pages3
         Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers4
         PanPages5
Tenant lists for Bukit Kayu Hitam and KHTP were obtained from NCIA and
the KHTP Park Management respectively. This information was also validated
after receipt using the sources above.
Step 2: Determining of Tenant Capabilities
Desktop research was performed to determine the following characteristics
for each firm (within each industrial estate) (Table 11.4):
         Industry focus
         Potential to complement/compete with any of the industries in Lembah
         Chuping
         Complementary/competing products and services
         Value chain stage associated with each firm (taking into account the
         above criteria, and in relation to Lembah Chuping)
Based on individual firm capabilities, conclusions were then made about
whether each firm would complement of compete with proposed activities in
Lembah Chuping.

Step 3: Presenting of Findings on Value Chain
The numbers of firms at each stage of the value chain were then summed up
(for each industrial estate). Findings were then presented visually, (in relation
to activities performed by Lembah Chuping) (Figure 11.4).

Appendix 4: Complementary Industrial Estate Scoring System
Net complementary effect will be calculated by:
    1. Calculating the total number of complementary and competing firms
         (within a single industrial estate) for each industry
    2. Subtracting the function(complementary or competing) with less firms
         (lower number) from the function with more firms (higher number)
    3. Using the resulting number of firms to obtain a score (Figure 11.5)
         Figure 11.5: Scoring System for Complementary Industrial Estates
In the following example, complementary value chain support will be defined
as ‘Distribution, Sales & Marketing’ with the focus of Lembah Chuping being
on ‘Manufacturing and Assembly’. Hence, it can be said that there are eleven
complementary firms in this estate with no firms competing with proposed
operations; the net complementary effect is 11 firms. Given the surplus in
complementary firms (in the 10-20 range), this estate would earn a score of 5.
                    Figure 11.6: Net Complementary Effect (Example 1)
In the event that there are firms that compete and complement within a single
estate, the function with the smaller number of firms is subtracted from the
function with the greater number of firms to determine an estate’s score.
                    Figure 11.6: Net Complementary Effect (Example 1)
Above, there are eleven complementary firms and two (2) competing firms, so
the net complementary effect is 9 firms. Given the surplus in complementary
firms (in the 0-10 range), this estate would earn a score of four (4) for this
industry.
                                                                                                                June 2015

Chuping Valley Development Plan
Introduction to Lembah Chuping
The Perlis State Government currently has the vision of transforming Perlis
into a developed state by 2020, with focus on Green Technology. This aim is
to be achieved through the development of Lembah Chuping; an area
situated to the north east of Kangar (administrative capital of Perlis). The land
area to be developed consists of 3,000 acres, for high value-added industries.
The industries surrounding Lembah Chuping will contribute to the
development potential of the area, due to the diverse range of commercial
activities. Padang Besar is a town situated in the north of Lembah Chuping
and bordering the south of Thailand. The town’s economic activities include a
variety of hawkers and petty traders that attracts shoppers from both Thailand
and Malaysia; with road and rail infrastructure for border connection.
FELDA plantations for a range of agricultural produce are located in the
southern region of Lembah Chuping, with a manufacturing capacity of
150,000 metric tonnes. Surrounding industrial estates and parks specialize in
a variety of manufacturing activities; halal products, commodities, electronics,
automotive parts, etc.
The purpose of this survey is to determine the viability of select industries
within the context of operations in Lembah Chuping, while also determining if
Lembah Chuping possesses the necessary resources to support these
industries.
