Cabotage policy did not cause Facebook to skip Malaysia in undersea cable plans, says Dr Wee

PETALING JAYA: The reimposition of cabotage policy on submarine cable repair works did not cause tech giants to skip Malaysia as part of its plans to install undersea cables to boost Internet connection in the region, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. Referring to Facebook s plan to install Bifrost and Echo undersea cables, the Transport Minister said the two undersea cables did not mean to bypass Malaysia because Facebook had built a database in Tanjong Keling Data Centre Park, Singapore in 2019. Dr Wee said the data centre was built in Singapore because Malaysia lacked the appropriate data centre infrastructure.
