PUTRAJAYA: The establishment of Microsoft Corp s first datacentre region in Malaysia under its Bersama Malaysia Initiative” costing at least US$1 billion (US$1=RM4.127) over the next five years is expected to create 19,000 jobs, including 4,000 IT-related jobs among its cloud users.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said according to the International Data Corporation, the ripple effects of the datacentre region investment could translate into US$6.90 (about RM28.47) of revenue generated in the local cloud ecosystem for every US$1 of Microsoft Malaysia’s cloud revenue by 2024.
Under the initiative, he said Microsoft has also formed five partnerships with government agencies and local companies, including the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU), Human Resources Development Fund, Petronas, Celcom, and Grab.
A clear winner in the country’s MyDIGITAL digitisation push, Telekom Malaysia Bhd’s share price hit a new all-time-high of RM6.62 on Feb 9, beating the previous record of RM6.45 in May 2015. While prices had since retreated, they are poised to reach new heights if the more bullish street predictions are to be believed. If the fact that Telekom’s share price had doubled in the past year and tripled from its decade-low of RM2.02 on Oct 26, 2018, is heaping additional pressure on the company to outperform, its managing director and group CEO Imri Mokhtar is taking it in his stride: “I guess we will be fairly rewarded by shareholders [as we focus on serving our customers better].”
