KUALA LUMPUR: Global digital infrastructure firm, DigitalBridge Group is estimated to invest more than RM4 billion especially in the infrastructure sector in Malaysia by the end of 2023, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said DigitalBridge is a digital infrastructure firm that invests in data centers, telecommunications towers and fiber optics.
"According to a white paper by Knight Frank, the growth of digital infrastructure in Malaysia is the fastest, and data centers record 113 megawatts only in 2022, or four times more than Thailand," he said in a post on his Facebook page on Saturday.
He also shared photos of the courtesy visit he received from the DigitalBridge delegation during the day.
Anwar insisted that he would continue to be committed and emphasized the importance of ensuring a clean and conducive ecosystem to facilitate the business and investment sectors in this country.
"This is part of our efforts to drive economic growth for the well-being of the people. #MalaysiaMADANI," he said.
The media reported that based on Knight Frank (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd's Malaysian Data Center White Paper launched on Wednesday 12 April, Malaysia emerged as the top destination for data center investment among the five Southeast Asian countries, with a consumption of 113MW in 2022, and about 20 percent supply growth is projected for the next five years.
The five countries are Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.
