Radia Bukit Jelutong was developed by Sime Darby Property Sunrise Development.
Wong said that with Netherlands Maritime University College onboard, a large number of students are anticipated to enliven Radia grounds, making Radia a desirable location to kickstart business opportunities.
“Netherlands Maritime University College is expected to be a huge crowd-puller; this will be a good way to increase footfall as the new semester approaches, and a great way to boost business operations within the premises,” Wong added.
Based on the MoU, Netherlands Maritime University College will be taking up a total of 24 commercial units at Radia Bukit Jelutong with a gross development value of RM27.6 million under a special Rent-To-Own scheme.

Mohd Idris said: “We are pleased to welcome Netherlands Maritime University College into their new home at Radia Bukit Jelutong and look forward to welcoming a much younger crowd to contribute to the social and economic developments in the area. The partnership will inject a breath of fresh air to the already matured township that can benefit a wide range of residents and business owners in Bukit Jelutong — one of Sime Darby Property’s best-planned townships in Selangor located conveniently along the Guthrie Corridor Expressway.”
