Johor is expected to pull RM17 billion (US$3.6 billion) in new data centre investments this year, building on RM51.1 billion in investments in 2022, according to Malaysian property agency Zerin Properties.
The Malaysia government has also supported Johor’s data centre ecosystem by building industrial parks with suitable infrastructure. Two of the biggest are the 745-acre Sedenak Tech Park (STeP) and 509-acre Nusajaya Tech Park.
JOHOR COULD APPEAL TO US, CHINA FIRMS
Johor’s data centre boom is driven by its proximity to land-scarce Singapore which, between 2019 and 2022, paused new data centre development.
Another factor is United States-China strategic competition, which has spurred corporations from China and the West to diversify and expand in Southeast Asia in the semiconductor and digital infrastructure space.
Malaysia has made international headlines for becoming an unlikely beneficiary of the US-China trade war, which has impacted the global supply chain in crucial sectors like semiconductors and manufacturing.
Various US semiconductor firms have set up shop in Penang, which has a free-trade zone and industrial parks. Cheap labour and its large English-speaking population are additional draws.

US curbs on Chinese technology, especially in higher-value chip activities such as wafer fabrication and integrated circuit design, could lead to a spillover effect on Johor’s data centre industry.
Dr Ong Kian Ming, Malaysia’s former deputy minister of international trade and industry, said the data centre industry in Johor would appeal to both sides of the aisle in the trade war.
“Not only is there demand coming from US-based companies but many Chinese companies are also looking for opportunities to invest in data centres in Johor and other parts of Malaysia,” he said.
“These are not well-covered in the press because many of these companies want to maintain a low profile lest they incur the attention of the US authorities,” added Dr Ong, who is also a board member of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), a government-linked agency which oversees investment initiatives across the country.
If different data centre ecosystems emerge to service Western firms and Chinese companies, this may not be a bad thing for Malaysia as it would be able to groom and recruit talent to serve these markets, he noted.
Who are the Ultimate beneficiaries ?

Hard drive storage will soon become part of computing history, says expert
Data storage on hard drives will soon become a thing of the past, according to an expert Shawn Rosemarin, Vice President, R&D and Customer Engineering – Pure Storage. According to Rosemarin, we could see the last hard drive being sold in just about five years from now, PC Gamer reported.
Most computer users have long migrated to cloud storage solutions when it comes to safely storing their data. With content being streamed on smartphones and tablets practically everywhere, there is little reason to own a hard drive these days.
Most laptops and computers too are equipped with solid-state drives, so the question is, where are hard drives even used?
The Last of the Hard Drives
Back in 1956, IBM unveiled the 305 RAMDAC, which was likely the first computer to run a hard drive with a magnetic disk. The entire assembly took up a sizeable portion of the room but offered nothing over 5 MB of conventional storage capacity.
Fast forward 50 years, storage capacities had zoomed to one terabyte, and the size of the drive itself had reduced to the palm. When writing this, one can buy 22 TB storage for regular use and even 26 TB models for use in data centers.
The problem, however, according to Rosemarin, is that the world spends three percent of its energy on data centers, most of which is to spin the hard drive’s disk. Shifting to flash storage could reduce power consumption by as much as 90 percent. This is why the shift away from magnetic storage is inevitable.

The major hurdle, according to Rosemarin, is the cost of flash storage. A 100TB flash storage costs $40,000, which is exorbitant when hard drive storage for similar capacity costs about $2,000. But as with computing hardware, prices tumble very quickly, and the SSD will also meet the same fate, sooner or later.
Whether the last hard drive is sold in 2028 or not could be the topic of a moot discussion, but its place in computing is almost cemented. The timeline could be pushed up even further if newer storage solutions are discovered during this time.
If you’d like to salvage a piece of history, then now might be a good time to pick a new hard drive for memory’s sake. Else you will be left searching for them, just like we do with floppy disks now.
