Google has officially opened its largest Southeast Asian data center in Selangor, representing a multi-billion ringgit investment. The facility will provide cloud services to thousands of local and regional businesses, enhancing data sovereignty and reducing latency for internet users. This move cements Malaysia's position as a regional tech hub.

The data center is powered by 100% renewable energy, aligning with the government’s sustainability goals. It is expected to generate significant tax revenue and create hundreds of high-paying jobs for local engineers and IT specialists. Google has also pledged to provide digital skills training to over 50,000 Malaysians through community outreach programs.

Industry leaders believe this investment will attract other global tech giants to the country, creating a "cluster effect." The presence of such a facility ensures that Malaysia has the computing power necessary to support emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence. The government has offered tax incentives to encourage further expansion.
