Pelancaran Pusat Data NEXTDC
Selangor bakal menjadi pusat utama data negara selepas pelancaran Pusat Data NEXTDC yang akan bertapak di Petaling Jaya dengan pelaburan RM3 bilion dari syarikat Australia.
Selangor merupakan pusat data NEXTDC pertama di luar Australia, dan pengkalan data ini dengan kapasiti 65 megawatt yang dijangka siap dalam 18 bulan mampu menawarkan peluang pekerjaan bergaji tinggi kepada anak Selangor.
Pelaburan berskala besar sebegini adalah bukti keyakinan kepada pentadbiran Kerajaan Negeri Selangor yang komited untuk melaksanakan dasar merancakkan ekonomi termasuk memudahcara proses perniagaan bagi kesejahteraan rakyat.
Saya menerima baik komitmen Menteri Komunikasi dan Digital, YB Fahmi Fadzil, supaya Kerajaan Persekutuan meningkatkan peruntukan pembangunan bagi Negeri Selangor khusus dalam aspek infrastruktur digital termasuk 5G.

Selangor is primed to be Malaysia’s data centre after NEXTDC launched its data centre which will be built in Petaling Jaya with an investment of RM3 billion from the Australian-based company.
Selangor is NEXTDC’s first global choice to set up a data centre outside Australia, and this plant with a capacity of 65 megawatts is on track to be completed in 18 months, providing high-income job opportunities to graduates in Selangor.
An investment of this scale exemplifies the confidence from the business community towards the Selangor State Government and our commitment to deliver on our economic plans including easing business processes for the wellbeing of our people.
I also urged YB Fahmi Fadzil, the Minister for Communications and Digital, that the Federal Government should increase its development allocation to Selangor, especially for digital infrastructure and 5G, and I glad that he made a commitment to take it up in Cabinet.
