Data Centre Debate: Economic Multiplier or National Burden?

In this episode, we dive into the rapid growth of Malaysia’s digital economy, fueled by massive investments in AI, cloud storage and data centres. With tech giants like Google ($2B), Oracle ($6.5B), Microsoft, Nvidia, and ByteDance pouring billions into the region, Malaysia is becoming a hub for cloud services and AI development.

Join us in our conversation with Professor Dr Ong Kian Ming, Pro Vice Chancellor for External Engagement at Taylor's University as we explore the far-reaching implications of these investments on Malaysia’s economy, from job creation and tech talent development to the future of local businesses and innovation. Tune in for an in-depth discussion on how Malaysia is positioning itself as a key player in the global digital landscape.
