Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (Singtel), Singapore’s largest mobile network operator, has stated its intention to build a cutting-edge, sustainable campus data centre in Johor using green technology.
This was announced in a Facebook post by Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, who has been in Singapore on a three-day working visit since 5 July 2023, including a visit to Singtel, one of the republic’s four major telecommunications companies.
“God willing, with Singtel’s strength as the owner of a high-quality telecommunication network infrastructure, the state government is optimistic that Singtel will be able to spur Johor in building the best communications and data centre ecosystem in Asia and make the state a focal point for renewable energy and artificial intelligence technology investments,” he said.
Onn Hafiz noted that Singtel is the fourth largest company on the Singapore Exchange by market capitalisation.
Singtel is the largest mobile network operator in Singapore, with 4.1 million subscribers, and has a mobile subscriber base of more than 775 million in over 20 countries through its subsidiaries, he added.
In the same Facebook post, Onn Hafiz stated that Maersk, a global maritime transport and logistics company, has expressed its intention to invest significantly in the Tanjung Pelepas Port.
