MN Holdings Bhd has announced a partnership with China's Shanghai DC-Science Co Ltd to construct a high-performance data center in Malaysia. This is the latter's first location outside of China. The MoU signed on April 1, 2023, will see a facility, which will span across a 20-acre site at the Sedenak Tech Park, Johor, deliver a capacity of 120MW with dual power supply for the 12,000-rack facility.
The project is valued at US$600m, with Phase 1 of the project projected to begin this year, with operations set to commence in the first half of 2024.
According to Loy Siong Hay, managing director of MN Holdings, the move demonstrates the diversification of MN Holdings' customer base. Further, he added: "We are proud to take part in DC-Science's expansion into Malaysia. This development reaffirms Malaysia's position as an investment destination, and will be a boost for local talents supporting the booming data center industry."
"As Malaysia sees more investments from both the local and international fronts, we are ready to offer our expertise in underground utilities infrastructure development and engineering," he added.
