Google Pledges $15 Billion for Malaysia Data Centres

Google said on Wednesday, 4 November that it will invest $15 billion in Malaysia over two years to expand data-centre capacity, one of several Southeast Asian commitments announced this year. The pattern worth noting is what drives site selection: available power and permitted land, not proximity to existing cloud regions. Grid access has become the deciding variable, which is why capacity is drifting toward markets with short queues.
