Technology company Google is reportedly set to invest US$15 billion, or approximately 15 billion United States dollars, to expand data centres in Malaysia. The report was published by the news agency Bloomberg.
A data centre is a facility that houses computer servers and systems that enable online services to function. These services include cloud storage, internet applications and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. With this expansion, the capacity of Google's data centres in Malaysia is expected to increase.
So far, the available reports do not provide detailed information about the exact location of the project, the construction period, or the number of jobs that will be created. Further information may be disclosed by Google or relevant authorities in the future.
Investment of this scale shows that Malaysia continues to attract the interest of global technology companies. This development also offers insight into Malaysia's role in the digital industry in the Southeast Asian region.
