It is also close to the Tebrau-Plentong corridor which is seeing tremendous growth and also many high-end developments such as waterfront and marina type projects along with hotels and more commercial areas set to come in future.

A little known fact about Taman Molek is that for about half century it was the site of the main transmitting station of the BBC or British Broadcasting Corporation in the Far East – known locally as BBC Tebrau – before this was relocated to Singapore. In the old days the Masai Trunk Road was popularly known as the BBC Road.
