Established by the Government of Malaysia in 1991, Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone (FIZ) in Sarawak was created with the aim of developing an integrated electronics manufacturing zone. Over the years, the zone has successfully attracted major multinational technology companies seeking to establish robust manufacturing operations, encompassing processes from silicon wafer foundry to circuit semiconductor design. In addition, initiatives to promote solar industries are currently underway within the zone.<\/p>\n

Expansion Plans and Government Incentives at Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone<\/h3>\n

In response to the zone’s growing success, the Sarawak state government has identified a new site in Samarahan for the expansion of the Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone, as the high-tech park has nearly reached its full capacity. Companies operating within the FIZ enjoy various government incentives, including exemptions from sales and services tax. Moreover, entities granted pioneer status within the zone benefit from exemptions from import and export tariffs, a 35% corporate income tax, and a 5% development tax for a period of five to ten years. Upon expiration of the income tax exemption, companies have the option to apply for investment tax credit exemption for an additional five to ten years. The government also offers subsidies for water, electricity, and other physical infrastructure support within the zone.<\/p>\n

Strategic Location and Infrastructure<\/h3>\n

Sama Jaya FIZ is strategically located 12 km from Kuching International Airport, 6 km from Kuching port, and 16 km from the city center. The zone is well-equipped with an extensive network of roads, drainage systems, electricity substations, water supplies, and telephone networks.
