Central Spectrum Partners Halal International Selangor To Develop Global Halal Gateway

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 (Bernama) -- Central Spectrum (M) Sdn Bhd signed a strategic partnership with Halal International Selangor (HIS) today to develop ‘The Magnet -- Selangor Global HIS Village’ (The Magnet), a next-generation integrated hub as a global gateway for halal trade and investments.

In a statement, Central Spectrum, the master developer of Pulau Indah, said a memorandum of collaboration (MoC) was inked at the soft launch ceremony for the Selangor Halal4Vibe Fest 2025, held at the Pavilion Selangor in the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).

It said The Magnet is engineered for unparalleled success in the modern halal economy with strategic advantages, such as direct access to Westports, one of the world’s busiest container terminals, proximity to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), and seamless connectivity to Malaysia’s major highway network.

“Moving beyond a traditional industrial park, The Magnet will feature a holistic ecosystem with halal-compliant infrastructure, built with 32 factory units, 14 units of food and beverage (F&B) kiosks, collaborative event spaces, a lush green rooftop garden and dedicated advisory support from HIS. 

“This integrated approach is designed to empower both halal SMEs and multinational corporations to scale and thrive,” it said. 

The MoC was exchanged between Central Spectrum chief operating officer Amran Abdul Wahab and HIS chief executive officer Muhammad Khushairi Mat Lasar, witnessed by Selangor state executive council member Dr Mohammad Fahmi Ngah and Central Spectrum board member Mohd Zapi Abdullah. 

According to Amran, the collaboration will establish The Magnet as the international ‘address for halal trust’ as a powerful magnet for global brands seeking to enter and thrive in the booming halal market through Selangor.

Meanwhile, Muhammad Khushairi said The Magnet is more than infrastructure; it is the future engine for halal innovation and growth. 

“Our advisory support, combined with this world-class ecosystem, will provide businesses with an end-to-end solution — from certification to market access. 

“This is how we will not just participate in the global halal economy but actively lead it, starting right here in Selangor,” he added.
