KUALA LUMPUR, June 2025 — In a significant vote of confidence in Malaysia’s logistics infrastructure, Frasers Property Industrial Malaysia announced a RM2 billion investment plan to expand its logistics and industrial footprint over the next five years.
The property giant, part of Singapore-listed Frasers Property Group, aims to capitalize on the growing demand for e-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL), and smart warehousing solutions in Malaysia and the broader ASEAN region.

Building new logistics parks in Johor and Selangor

Green-certified warehousing with solar integration

CEO Dato’ Kumar Sivasuriam stated:
“We see Malaysia as a logistics powerhouse with a strategic location, skilled talent, and rising demand from e-commerce and industrial occupiers. This investment reflects our long-term confidence.”
The company is also exploring joint ventures with local logistics players and tech partnerships for digital inventory tracking and AI-led warehouse management systems.
