First ...came the influx of DCs

Now comes the influx of multinational companies seeking regional headquarters in Kuala Lumpur (KL) , according to Knight Frank.

Multifaceted effects are real

It is Ok if u do not like Cyberjaya, but do not have to go all the ways to say all DC are imported rubbish... etc

What is the Agenda of doing that ? Prefer Malaysia to fail badly ?

Most Developers should be happy with influx of DCs n FDI :-

PETALING JAYA: The upcoming financial reporting season for the third quarter of 2024 (3Q24) is expected to see many property developers recording strong earnings on the back of solid sales registered during that period.

RHB Investment Bank analyst Loong Kok Wen noted that the second half of the year (2H24) tended to be stronger for most real estate companies.

“This is because most players would ramp up their launches in the second half of the year,” she told StarBiz.


“Adding to the mix is Google’s US$2bil data centre, which will be located in EBP and is expected to generate 27,000 jobs –which is a winning formula. This project, spanning 6,500 acres, should drive SimeProp’s revenue and earnings for the next 12-15 years,” he said.

UOB Kay Hian (UOBKH) Research, in a recent report, also said it expects most developers under its coverage to record a stronger 3Q24, year-on-year.

CIMB Securities, in a recent report, said developers with strategic landbank in Iskandar Puteri (Johor) had enjoyed brisk sales for their recent launches, as connectivity improves.

BTW , 27,000 jobs would be created by Google , surely not 25 jobs ...like many MAC operatives claimed .

Operational phase ...starting point. and would spread else where to Johor , not just limited to the physical site alone. Think out of the Box..DC is just the starting point only..27,000 jobs possible created through DC/AI eco sytems later ....But without DC, then perhaps nothing would be created.

50 millions content creators/jobs worldwide , where their products are housed in DCs , but these people are not working inside DCs .



He also added that Google’s data centres will play a crucial role under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030), which targets the creation of 3,000 smart factories by 2030.

U do not know what comes after that. .The source 27,000 jobs is from Google . They know better what they are doing.

Decade-long stagnant wages, job mis-match pushing youth into more debt.

Graduate starting salaries have barely moved over the past decade.

In 2021, 60 per cent of new graduates received salaries below RM2,000 for their first job, compared to 61 per cent in 2010.

While the number of individuals with higher education continues to rise, the growth of skilled jobs has stagnated since 2002.

Currently, around 80 per cent of graduates from local universities come from B40 families, and 40 per cent of these students rely on PTPTN loans.

(Kuala Lumpur, 28th) The booming data center market in Malaysia has attracted a large influx of foreign investment. Projects have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and the market is thriving. However, there is an imbalance between talent resources and the speed of development. Major data center companies are unable to hire people. In order to rush, operators are willing to poach talents with high salaries, offering a monthly salary of nearly RM20,000 to recruit electronic and electrical engineers!

From Nanyang


“We are a platform provider, not a data centre owner. So, if you think about it, all our US$6.5 billion will be allocated to building cloud facilities, not data centres. Whereas other companies are talking about billions of investments, including the cost to build a data centre. This really shows the magnitude of our investment commitment in Malaysia,” he says.

Oracle Malaysia managing director Fitri Abdullah highlights that the group intends to create infrastructure that supports the digital transformation of businesses in Southeast Asia.

Technology - An Exciting Year Ahead

Reported by Public Bank

Publish date: Mon, 06 Jan 2025

Despite various trade concerns over the heightening trade tension, the year of 2025 is touted to be a time of technology breakthrough, which will see many opportunities to invest, innovate and develop. We believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) remains at the forefront of key topics as did cybersecurity, cloud computing, and robotics. We also gather that some local ATE makers have started receiving more inquiries in the last 2 months, although the outlook visibility remains short. In the local scene, data centre play continues to be in the limelight.

Malaysia's data centre set to boom.

Malaysia is poised for significant data centre growth this year, fueled by substantial investments from major technology companies. According to the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, Malaysia, which is sitting at the forefront of the region's data centre growth, has seen total investments of RM99bn in the last 2 years with another RM149bn in the pipeline. Currently, Malaysia has 54 operational data centres with a live IT capacity of 504.8MW. Johor leads in IT capacity, followed by the Klang Valley, and with Sarawak, Negeri Sembilan and Kedah emerging as upcoming data centre locations. It is also worth noting that Johor will be the first state to hit 1GW when the supply under-construction and committed become operational in the future. According to Knight Frank Malaysia's report, Malaysia has 61 upcoming new data centres offering IT capacity of 1,313MW. In Asia-Pacific, current data centre capacity exceeds 10,500MW and is expected to more than double to 24,800MW by 2028, spurred by increasing adoption of cloud computing and AI. Singapore currently has more than 70 data centres with a total capacity of 1.4GW. But Malaysian government's recent approval of a total data centre capacity of 4GW makes the country Asean's top data centre hub. Meanwhile, McKinsey & Co estimates that the global demand for data centre capacity could rise at an annual rate of between 19% and 22% from 2023 to 2030 to reach annual demand of 171GW and 219GW globally. We see positive inflows for the various industries in Malaysia following a sharp increase in data centre investments. Data centres are a critical component in powering the growing digital economy, and Malaysia can specialize in data services, particularly those related to generative AI, which have applications across various industries like healthcare and services, leading to improved service quality and innovative solutions. This will help the country to broaden beyond semiconductor and gain from the technology transfer from big tech companies. The data centre engineering and facilities management solution industry in Malaysia grew from RM3.9bn in 2020 to RM8.3bn in 2023, at a CAGR of 28.5%. Moving forward, Providence estimates that the data centre engineering and facilities management solution industry in Malaysia will grow from RM10.7bn in 2024 to RM17.7bn in 2026, registering a CAGR of 28.6%

Quite strange , isn't it ..?

Cyberjaya is under Selangor, but Selangor Govt seldom " participates " in its activities . More like Cyberjaya is treated under Putrajaya.

Now we have Johor -Singapore team up...but Cyberjaya is generally " regarded" as outside Selangor Government controls.

DC , Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation n MCMC all are housed in Cyberjaya but are not under Selangor State Controls.

Selangor Information Technology & Digital Economy Corporation (SIDEC) is based in Shah Alam ? Seems we are at super high end of Technology ?

U see Johor now becomes more efficient ..

Land owners there hit jackpots recently :-

Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB), landowner of the 2,230-acre Medini Iskandar Malaysia in Johor, is said to be issuing offer letters to buyers in Medini with an option to convert their properties, which are currently under a private lease scheme (PLS), to freehold at a premium, according to several sources.

A letter from IIB to one of the buyers sighted by The Edge, stated: “As part of our continued commitment in enhancing Medini’s appeal and fostering growth within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), we are pleased to inform you that freehold development is now possible in Medini.”
