KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 ― Malaysia is expected to see a greater increase in digital transformation and digital trust in society, driven by the new investment from Amazon Web Services worth RM25.5 billion over 15 years for a new infrastructure “region” in Malaysia.
“Today’s announcement is a vote of confidence and support for Malaysia's leadership in the global digital economy, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration with AWS to advance our nation’s digital economy ambitions,” he said in a recorded speech at the AWS Malaysia Cloud Day here today. “Petronas has been a lighthouse example of how a leading Malaysian organisation accelerates its digital transformation journey by leveraging the power of the Cloud to modernise its IT, drive smarter operations and faster decisions through insights from data analytics, and build new digital applications such as Petronas SETEL to improve customer experience,” he added.
For these companies, Anwar said an AWS Region in Malaysia will further accelerate the transformation and the creation of innovative digital services, using the secure, high-performing, resilient, and trusted infrastructure.
