Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said this was conveyed to him during a courtesy visit by AirTrunk founder and CEO Robin Khuda and a delegation yesterday.

He said the visit included discussions on the progress of AirTrunk’s data centre development in Johor and a localisation framework to raise local companies’ participation in the data centre value chain.

“This investment commitment is highly welcomed and expected to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a competitive, progressive, and highly capable regional digital hub.

“This decision reflects the confidence of investors, especially global technology companies, in the advantages offered by Malaysia as a strategic partner as the government refines policies and enhances the efficiency of data centre development and operations,” he said in a post on X today.
