Imagine walking through a city where the air is monitored by AI, your parking payments are cashless by default, scooters appear right when you need them, and innovation practically hums in the air. Now imagine that city actually exists, and it just won a national award for being exactly that smart. Welcome to Cyberjaya, Malaysia’s newly crowned Smart Township 2025 Gold Award winner.
The Gold That Sparked A New Era
Cyberjaya made history. In the very first year the Smart Township category was introduced, Cyberview Sdn Bhd walked away with a coveted Gold Rating, proudly accepted by CEO En. Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Samad during a national ceremony graced by Malaysia’s top leaders.
This award wasn’t handed out lightly. It recognises cities with forward-thinking planning, digital readiness, sustainability commitments, and most importantly, real-world impact on the people who call it home.
What Makes Cyberjaya So Smart? (Spoiler: A Lot)
The Gold Rating came after an evaluation spanning 36 smart city indicators, all measured under the national Penarafan Perbandaran Pintar (Smart Township Rating) framework, aligned with global standards such as MS ISO 37122:2019.
Here’s what helped Cyberjaya shine:
Smart Environment
Cyberview’s Living Lab® pushed innovations like AI-powered air quality systems and even Malaysia’s first movable EV charging station.
Smart Economy
The city runs on digital convenience, from cashless parking systems to e-payments for tender procurement. Faster processes, fewer lines, happier humans.

Cyberview’s Vision: Smart, Sustainable, And Human-Centered
