GEORGE TOWN: Tech giant Microsoft’s RM10.5bil investment to support Malaysia’s digital transformation will not only help local businesses be more efficient but also lead to better wages and higher skills for workers, say trade groups.
The investment, which includes building cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure as well as creating AI development opportunities for an additional 200,000 people, will definitely boost Penang’s manufacturing sector, said Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers Penang (FMM Penang) chairman Datuk Lee Teong Li.
