Does a Bangsar South MSC office give your company MD Status?
No. Renting an office does not grant company Malaysia Digital (MD) Status or a tax incentive. Company status, premises recognition and incentive eligibility need separate checks.
Separate the company from the building.
Malaysia Digital Status is awarded by the Malaysian Government through MDEC to eligible companies carrying out approved digital activities. Moving into a building described as “MSC” or “MD” does not itself grant company status or a tax incentive.
What happened to MSC location rules?
MDEC states that full liberalisation of location requirements took effect on 25 March 2022, allowing MSC Malaysia / MD Status companies to locate and operate anywhere in Malaysia. Review your own Conditions of Grant and any applicable approval terms before making a relocation decision.

Is Bangsar South recognised as MD Nexus?
We have not verified current MD Nexus recognition for each premises on this website. MDEC’s MD Nexus guidance treats the transition of existing designated premises as subject to criteria and compliance, rather than automatic recognition. Ask for the current certificate or recognition covering your exact address and confirm it with MDEC.
Nexus in Bangsar South and MD Nexus are different. The local Nexus lifestyle and events building is not, by its name alone, evidence of MDEC MD Nexus recognition.
Tier 1 and Tier 2 need context.
Tier 1 / Tier 2 labels belong to the legacy MSC company framework and its conditions. We do not assign a current tier to a tower without the relevant documentation. Ask your company secretary or adviser to review the company’s grant letter and confirm the position with MDEC.
Tax incentives need a separate check.
MDEC describes an outcome-based MD tax incentive framework with reduced tax rate or investment tax allowance routes for eligible companies. Qualification, approved activities and compliance conditions matter. Confirm the latest guidelines and your company’s eligibility with MDEC and your tax adviser.
Shortlist the office on its merits.
