In 2019, Scientex entered the Northern Region by acquiring 179.7 acres of freehold land in Tasek Gelugor, Penang. The success of Scientex Tasek Gelugor, with a high demand for affordable homes, indicated a need for more such projects. To strengthen its position and support Penang’s plan to build 220,000 affordable homes by 2030, Scientex acquired 343 acres of prime freehold land in Sungai Dua, aiming to make homeownership more accessible for Penangites.

Scientex Sungai Dua is a well-planned mixed development with double-storey terrace houses, shop offices, a leisure park, and a multipurpose hall, all close to Scientex’s existing township in Seberang Perai Utara. This development also includes schools, a market, a mosque, and other amenities for daily needs.

Scientex Sungai Dua is strategically located to offer a blend of urban convenience and tranquility. It is just 7 km from the Sungai Dua Toll Plaza, providing quick access to the North-South Expressway and the Penang First Bridge, which are reachable in under 25 minutes. The KTM station is just 5 minutes away, and the new access road connecting Jalan Gelugor with Jalan Tun Hamdan Sheikh Tahir makes it easy to reach Bertam Town. This advantageous location offers excellent prospects for growth and capital appreciation, making it suitable for both personal living and investment.

Residents have various shopping options for daily necessities, including Mydin Hypermarket, Lotus’s Bertam, and Sunway Carnival Mall. Popular food chains like McDonald’s and KFC are also nearby. The area has several medical facilities, including Hospital Kepala Batas, Hospital Seberang Perai, and KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital, to serve the community.

Families with children will find many schools, such as SJK (C) Lee Chee, Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM), and SM Sains Kepala Batas. Tertiary educational institutions like Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) are also in the vicinity. For leisure activities, residents can visit the Penang Golf Resort or Bertam Resort & Waterpark. Malaysia’s first high-tech industrial park, Kulim Hi-Tech Park, and the proposed Kulim International Airport (KXP) are also within 25 km of Scientex Sungai Dua.

Scientex is committed to sustainable property development and aims to meet the demand for affordable housing while expanding its capabilities. The company’s goal aligns with the government’s initiative to provide 50,000 affordable homes by 2028 to promote homeownership among Malaysians.
