He said DigitalBridge is a digital infrastructure company that invests in data centres, telecommunication towers and fibre-optic networks.

“According to a Knight Frank white paper, Malaysia’s digital infrastructure growth is the fastest (among five emerging markets in Southeast Asia) with 113 megawatts of take-up just in 2022, or four times that of Thailand,” he shared in a Facebook post today.

Anwar said he recently received an honourable visit from a DigitalBridge delegation.

The Prime Minisrer also said that he would remain committed and stress the importance of ensuring a clean and conducive ecosystem to facilitate businesses and investments into the country.

“(This is) part of our efforts to drive economic growth for the people’s well-being. #MalaysiaMADANI,” he added.
