bagus la... Johor will grow and be prosperous soon

KULAI: Johor’s Kulai district, some 70 kilometres north of Singapore, is known for its rubber plantations and oil palm estates. These days, however, you’ll also find hundreds of acres of construction sites with cranes and work crewWithin three years, the sites will become industrial parks hosting multiple data centres – buildings that house large groups of high-speed computers, servers and routers that store, process as well as distribute vast amounts of data.

The world’s growing reliance on cloud-based technology has fuelled the growth of data centres, and Johor has become one of the hotspots in Malaysia. In particular, southern Johor, with its proximity to the Singapore's financial hub and comparative advantages like abundant land and cheaper power, could be well-positioned to be a key regional player, experts say.Major data centre players like Nvidia, AirTrunk, GDS International, YTL Power as well as Princeton Digital Group have set up operations there, and tech giant Microsoft has reportedly purchased land in Kulai to open a data centre.

According to resource site Baxtel, Johor has 13 data centre facilities across more than 1.65 million square feet of land mass. The state is also ranked as the largest data centre market in Malaysia and ninth-largest in Asia Pacific. Baxtel added that four other data centres are being constructed in Johor. Johor is expected to pull RM17 billion (US$3.6 billion) in new data centre investments this year, building on RM51.1 billion in investments in 2022, according to Malaysian property agency Zerin Properties.

The Malaysia government has also supported Johor’s data centre ecosystem by building industrial parks with suitable infrastructure. Two of the biggest are the 745-acre Sedenak Tech Park (STeP) and 509-acre Nusajaya Tech Park.

If all run according to plan, Johor would be the next growth engine for MY economy. Hope SFZ, SEZ with the help of SG would come to fruition.

Abang Jo begs to differ.

Better setup nuke reactor somewhere facing Singapore....just to backup electricity consume by these DC maa...

Both can grow together but in diff area. But Sarawak is lacking in human resources. Whereas JB&SG have already attracted people from all over the country including S&S cos no restriction in movement within Peninsula.

Syukur Sg kecik...overflow to Negara J...

I watched a talk by Nvidia's Jensen Huang and he mentioned their "huge chip" costing USD250K that could replace a data center. Wonder if it'll be used in local data centers here.

Sg actually limit data center due to power usage , ofc they want the data center build at JB

Majulah JOHOR !

JB here ayam kambing

Sarawak is different country la. hehehe....

penang is also one of the youngest general of original chna / hkkien empire and the people including people of other group around SEA are their loyal servant.

how are they not part of the glorious empire.

among all the factions , the kpop star is coming to penang to help. what a loyal brother.

all the remnant of hkkien empire and loyal servant of other ethnicity will get an upgrade of technological capabilities and prowness into greater heights.



Although we are people of different country who speak various language , the blood flowing are the same and the water we drink are the same. the road becomes clear and far. Come and go to new places. The root of heritage that was cut was still are still connected. Motherland didnt forget you.


The most famous alternative name of Hokkien is Min Nan Hua, which means Chinese dialect in southern Fujian Province. Another alternative name is He Luo Hua, because the ancestors of native-speakers of Hokkien have ever lived in the basins of Huang He, namely Yellow River, and Luoshui River. From Jin to Song Dynasty, some locals in these basins settle in southern Fujian. Therefore it is believed that Hokkien has been keeping some characters of ancient Chinese language. Now Hokkien in southern Fujian is still thought to be the most representative. Similar with the situation among native-speakers of Cantonese and Hakka, having achieved a new domicile, some native-speakers of Hokkien continue to immigrate to other places. As a result, Hokkien is used in different countries now.

They r building solar farms to support these DC.

Yes

owai

If not mistaken YTL Power will be using NVIDIA H100 chipset for the AI data centre

wowwww! this is great!! Jensen is a great communicator and makes it interesting even to non-techie types like me.

Cannot la. Data center might host gambling data, porn or other stuff and also Israel data

Must boycott

Also later some issue along rnr raised by some idiot and they will throw bombs at the data center.
So risky. Best invest the billions in other countries.

Oops

Kulai is booming. It has ets and heard it will be connected to the lrt. Grab it quick

I hope that Malaysia will be the main capital for datacentres for South East Asia. This will no doubt improve and increase our network connectivity to the rest of the world.
