Google commits another US$15 billion to expand data centre operations in Malaysia
Google is committing another US$15 billion to expand its data centre operations in Malaysia. The tech giant has pledged to sustain 9,000 jobs a year and upskill 800,000 Malaysians over the next five years. It also outlined plans to make operations more sustainable, amid growing scrutiny over the vast amounts of electricity and water required by data centres. 60% of data centres in Southeast Asia are in Malaysia. More than 100 data centres have been approved to date, mostly located in the southern state of Johor and the Klang Valley. Melissa Goh reports from Kuala Lumpur, alongside Saifulbahri Ismail in Jakarta and Lee Gim Siong in Beijing on Asia's data centre boom.
