KUALA LUMPUR, 10 January 2012 – UEM Land Holdings Berhad (“UEM Land”) together with Medini Security Services Sdn Bhd (“MSS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Iskandar Investment Berhad (“IIB”) have collaborated to form a full-fledged security service company to provide enhanced security for Nusajaya, one of the five nodes of Iskandar Malaysia.

The joint venture company will expedite the implementation of the overall safety and security initiatives and control the quality of security services provided in Nusajaya.
It will also be tasked to obtain all relevant licences and approvals from approving authorities on the Auxiliary Police (“AP”) operations and guard services besides providing security services, professional consultancy and technical services.
“This initiative is part and parcel of the Nusajaya Security Blueprint (“Security Blueprint”) we had developed and practised throughout the zone. We are also looking into other areas of improvement such as the expansion of our CCTV coverage in the vicinity to further add value to the current safety and security initiatives.” said UEM Land Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim.
To initiate the security effort, UEM Land has deployed twenty (20) AP officers from Mont’Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, to be stationed in Nusajaya. The officers are operating from IIB’s Medini Command Centre in Seri Medini.

By 2015, the joint venture company is expected to have an estimated 160 AP officers who will be deployed in critical areas such as Custom, Immigration and Quarantine Checkpoint and Security Command & Control Centres as well as on patrol in public places like Puteri Harbor, Kota Iskandar, Legoland, the Nusajaya Loop (a ring road traversing the key catalyst developments in Nusajaya) and for the public’s immediate access.
The Security Blueprint has been rolled out progressively in UEM Land’s projects such as Puteri Harbour and East Ledang, supported by its consultants and contractors who have been trained to incorporate security elements into the design and built environment similar to the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design.
