Owning a house is an important rite of passage for many, a major milestone in one’s life which marks the true start of their life as an independent adult who either plans to build their own family or simply a space for themself.
However, this rite of passage, which is often the most significant financial transaction for many, is no longer assured for many young Malaysians and even low-income families, as the gap between incomes and housing affordability continues to worsen.
That said, one local player is committed to ensuring that home ownership remains a reachable dream for Malaysians.
Enter Scientex
First conceived in 1995 in Pasir Gudang, Scientex’s property division aimed to provide affordable yet quality homes to house buyers.
“We recognise that affordable home ownership remains a challenge to the lower to middle income buyers due to escalating selling prices and scarcity of reasonably priced land banks for development,” said Scientex.
Since their early days, the group has gone on to deliver nearly 40,000 affordable freehold double or triple-storey terrace homes nationwide, all priced below RM500,000.
And with up to four bedrooms and three bathrooms and enough space to park up to two cars, each of Scientex’s homes are built with the average Malaysian family in mind.
Indeed, with a total land bank of more than 11,000 acres, Scientex has benefitted more than 100,000 families, and they’re continuing to do so with one of their latest townships, Scientex Bestari Jaya in Klang Valley.
A township for everyone
Sitting in the developing Kuala Selangor, Bestari Jaya is a mukim 40km from Kuala Lumpur, featuring a downtown where rustic charm meets modern ambition.
Dictionary time: Mukim is a subdivision of a district. In this case, Bestari Jaya is a mukim of the district Kuala Selangor.
Spanning 826 acres, Scientex’s township offers a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces to meet the growing demand for an affordable, all-inclusive neighbourhood away from the hustle and bustle of KL.
Easily accessible by major highways such as LATAR and WCE, the township offers great connectivity to neighboring towns and cities for drivers, with other major roads nearby including Jalan Bukit Badong, Jalan Kuala Selangor, and Jalan Raja Musa.
With more than 7,500 two-storeyed terrace homes for sale, Scientex Bestari Jaya is the group’s latest project aligned with their vision of providing affordable housing.
Each unit is innovatively spaced for convenience, featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms and ample living space—perfect for growing families, giving parents the opportunity to provide their kids with ample space for growth.
Further, with various primary and secondary schools within 5km of the planned township, young parents need not worry about waking up extra early to ensure their kids reach school on time.
These include four primary schools (two of which are vernacular schools) and three secondary schools, all of which are under 5km away from the township.
Other nearby amenities include grocery stores, clinics and even a bird sanctuary 8km away for those family Sundays.
Interested home buyers may register their interest via the number (+60)12-277 5583 or via the email bestarijayaproperty@scientex.com.my.

Building a more equal Malaysia
Although Scientex Bestari Jaya offers residents a slew of features and amenities comparable to premier townships in the Klang Valley, Scientex is committed to ensuring that their Bestari Jaya’s township’s homes align with their vision for affordable housing.
Owning a house with decent space to grow your family should be the basic necessity for any Malaysian.

With more affordable townships in Jawi, Muar, and Pulai in Johor in the pipeline, Scientex hopes to turn the dream of home ownership into reality for many more Malaysians across the nation, even in the face of surging house prices.
As the gap between the median household income and house prices widen, Scientex’s unwavering dedication to providing comforts to the average Malaysian is a heart-warming reminder of the work that is going into building a more equal world.
