 The manufacturing sector, particularly in the electronics and engineering sectors, has been the mainstay of Bayan
Lepas's economy. Since its inception in the 1970s, the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone has grown to become the
'Silicon Valley of the East'. Motorola became one of the first multinational firms to set up a factory within the zone,
followed by several other firms, such as Intel, AMD, Osram, Hewlett Packard, Bosch, Hitachi, Dell, Intel and
Clarion.

 The first phase of the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone, covering an area between the airport, Jalan Sultan Azlan
Shah and the Kluang River, was opened in 1972. The zone has since been expanded and developed in phases. Phase
2 encompasses an area between Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Bukit Gedung and the Snake Temple. Phase 3 was
partially built on reclaimed land, while Phase 4, the largest and final phase, was completed by the 1990s.
 The Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone proved successful in attracting multinational firms and its creation played a
vital role in reversing Penang's economic crisis.Intel, AMD, Hewlett-Packard, Clarion, National Semiconductor,

set up factories within the zone, followed by several other firms including Motorola and Dell.[14] These firms are
also supported by smaller, local-owned enterprises and startups, such as Piktochart. Consequently, the
manufacturing sector became one of Penang's largest economic sectors, while the zone itself has been described by
the international press as the Silicon Valley of the East
