A unit of the Kuala Lumpur-based company, Gamuda DC Infrastructure signed an agreement with Google’s Pearl Computing Malaysia for the construction of a hyperscale data center in Port Dickson, about 90 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur, according to a stock exchange filing on Monday. Under the deal, Gamuda DC will also build a water treatment plant to supply 65 million liters of water per day needed to cool the data center. Separately, Gamuda DC also agreed to sell 389 acres (157 hectares) of land to Pearl Computing for 455 million ringgit ($107 million). The property will be the site of the data center project. In May 2024, Google awarded Gamuda a 1.7 billion ringgit deal to handle the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing works for Pearl Computing’s data center project at Elmina Business Park in Selangor, northwest of Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia is rapidly emerging as a key hub for data centers, fueled by the region’s AI boom. Google announced a $2 billion investment to develop its first data and cloud centers in the country last year. Other global tech giants, including Microsoft and Oracle, are also pouring in funds—bringing total investment commitments to over $23 billion. Gamuda is one of Malaysia’s leading infrastructure and real estate companies. It was founded in 1976 by Lin and his partner Koon Yew Yin. While based in Malaysia, the company also has projects in Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, the U.K., and Vietnam.
