Microsoft, Nvidia, and AWS are highly committed to investing in Malaysia and building the most powerful AI data centre.

MANTAB MALAYSIA !! Ayo kita jadikan kawasan Asean kaya raya, kita tarik semua uang perputaran dunia ke kawasan ini.
kebijakan ekonomi Asean adalah perdagangan bebas antar anggota, dan bertransaksi sudah tidak pakai dollar Amerika lagi.
jika satu negara asean ekonominya naik otomatis yang lain akan terdampak juga, itulah mengapa GDP kawasan Asean pasti naik bersama.

Jika kalian sudah menangkap chip semikonduktor dunia, doakan kami Indonesia bisa menangkap industri mobil listrik dunia.

Microsoft picked three countries in this region : Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Somehow Microsoft by-passed Singapore at this time.

2.2b for Malaysia and 1.7b for Indonesia. I wish we could see the breakdown, especially that those two are different.

Congratulations Malaysia. This is the second AI-related investment from the world's largest IT company after NVIDIA, a renowned technology company, investing a staggering RM20 billion in Malaysia to establish an AI Data Center in Johor Bahru last February 2024. There is no report of Nvidia investing in Indonesia despite the Indonesian Trade Minister Luhut Binsar Panjaitan once persuaded and lobbied the CEO of Nvidia to invest in Indonesia related to Ai.

Great piece of news. Been waiting for them to catch up for the longest time. It's ok we can be the small brother, no end of food to eat when the neighbourhood gets stronger.

Great counter questions by CNA newscaster! That’s how it should be, press on with the question to clarify doubts and drive the point more succinctly and clearly.

As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind
1. Have a long term mindset.
2. Be willing to take risk.
3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.

The Malaysian government also needs to consider the risks in the future with the entry of many AI companies..

06:29 sorry bro, AI dose not need data to be remained in the respective infra. CNA should interview someone in Azure instead.

Its a data centre lady..! all data need to be stored physically, including this youtube video, example this video most likely to be stored in google data center somewhere in south east asia.. its just a place to stored data.. and those data need to be processed digitally onsite and that what the supercomputer AI to be used for..

I'm suprised Malaysia doesn't boycott Microsoft yet they went and boycott Starbucks and Mcdonalds.

[Yo-yo-yvzm]

CNA, your news presenter is pretty unprofessional & rude in her way of cutting people off abruptly

[deschan]

Singapore will be replaced quicker than anybody can imagine. This does not happen today, obvious signs emerges long ago. Singapore government choose to ignore n continue doing wrong things n worsen it. This is just the beginning, expect more such news to come.
