Only data centres that benefit Malaysia allowed to set up shop, Anwar tells Dewan Rakyat


KUALA LUMPUR: Only data centres that can provide additional benefits to Malaysia in terms of artificial intelligence (AI) or advanced technologies are allowed to set up bases in Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Acknowledging concerns over the demand for massive volumes of water needed to complement these centres, the Prime Minister said data centres that are unable to provide the said benefits will not be allowed to set up in Malaysia.
