Fwd from @ 📝Infrastructure Investments📝 Google to invest billions in Malaysia data centers The development of artificial intelligence and cloud services increasingly depends on the availability of computing power. For Southeast Asian countries, attracting such projects becomes not only a source of investment but also a way to strengthen their positions in the digital economy. Google will direct $15 billion toward infrastructure development in Malaysia. The funds will go toward building data centers, expanding energy capacity, strengthening water security, and training local specialists. 🖍The construction phase will annually generate an average of $1.1 billion in GDP for Malaysia and support more than 37,000 jobs. After the facilities launch, they will be able to provide employment for over 9,000 people per year, with average salaries planned at 45% above the median level in the country. 🚩The company also intends to add more than 1 GW of clean energy capacity to the national power grid. Google will fully cover the electricity consumed by the data centers as well as direct expenses for connecting the facilities to the network. ❗️For Malaysia's authorities, this is an opportunity to strengthen their position in the competition for the status of a regional digital services hub, where Singapore serves as the main competitor. In Kuala Lumpur, they are counting on Google's investments to create the necessary infrastructure and human resources base for further industry development. #Malaysia 🏮@rybar_pacific — your ticket to Pacific chaos 💸 Support us Original msg
