I-Berhad is stepping up the implementation of Robotics-as-a-Service (RAAS) across its property portfolio with an investment of RM1 billion, positioning artificial intelligence (AI)-based automation as a key pillar in property management, hospitality, lifestyle and asset operations as early as next year.
I-Berhad chairman Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong said the initiative is expected to place the company and i-City at the forefront as pioneers of smart city development in Malaysia through comprehensive integration of intelligent technology using advanced task execution systems and equipment.
Summary:
- JB achieved "leading smart city" status with its integrated operations control centre to monitor traffic, detect potholes, and bust crime via CCTV cameras placed around the city.
- Residents can access data on traffic, parking, floods and public toilet cleanliness through mobile apps, but awareness and usage remain low.
- Analysts say technology alone can't solve JB's congestion, pollution, and infrastructure issues, highlighting the need for better enforcement.
In a former multipurpose hall atop the Johor Bahru City Council building, a 12m screen displays live feeds from 555 CCTV cameras monitoring every corner of Malaysia’s southern capital.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has allocated RM310 million to develop connectivity infrastructure under the Melaka Smart City initiative.
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the funding will support the state government’s goal of transforming Melaka into a digital heritage city in line with its status as a heritage state.
- USD 8.43 billion committed investments in data centres
- Expected GDV of USD 6.6 billion over a 20-year horizon

Sustainable and resilient cities cannot be left to be built by a single ministry, agency or local authority, said Housing and Local Government Minister (KPKT) Nga Kor Ming.
Calling for a whole-of-government approach and strong synergy across all sectors to tackle the challenges of urbanisation and climate change, Nga said it was important to institutionalise city-to-city knowledge exchange so that lessons, toolkits and proven solutions can be adopted nationwide.
