KUALA LUMPUR: The 15-year investment plan by US-based firm Amazon Web Services (AWS) proves Malaysia is fast becoming the premier regional destination for digital investments, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Expressing his confidence over the RM29.2bil AWS Asia Pacific (Malaysia) Region project, the Prime Minister said he hoped the firm would shorten its development period – targeted from 2024 to 2038 – to eight years instead.
