ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor is set to emerge as one of the key players in the digital economy in the region with investments by data centre providers in the state, says a state exco member.

The presence of these providers will create new job opportunities not only for Johoreans but also for Malaysians from other states, said Johor Investment, Trade and Consumer Affairs committee chairman Lee Ting Han.
