Building foundation, selling land to operators, developers compete to develop data center wealth
Exclusive report: @Jungle lee
[Datacenter Series (Part 1)]
As the residential market becomes increasingly crowded, the momentum of data centers is emerging, attracting attention to the already active industrial industry. Nowadays, almost every week, different industrial companies make significant announcements, either announcing the construction or investment in data centers, making the market very hot.
The market shows willingness for the development of data centers in different regions of our country. The continuous digital transformation initiative also propels potential super-large-scale data centers into the Malaysian market, shaping the future of Malaysian data centers.

With a large amount of land bank, especially in Johor and Klang Valley, as well as financially stable developers, there is an opportunity to seize the chance and increase income diversification when this wave of data center development takes off.
With the Singapore government banning new data center constructions in 2019 and conditionally lifting the ban in 2022, Johor, which is close to the water source, is leading the way in data center development in Malaysia, while the tech hub Cyberjaya is also catching up in this aspect.
Long-term operational data centers are expected to become the new favorite of the industrial sector, but what attractive features can draw large industrial companies to participate? What factors, both domestically and internationally, stimulate its growth? Can our country's hydroelectric, fiber optic, and digital infrastructure handle this sudden surge in demand?
The series of reports on data centers by "Nanyang Siang Pau" sheds light on the growth of the industrial sector with the increasing attention on data centers.
