Oracle plans to invest over US$6.5 billion to establish a public cloud region in Malaysia, addressing rising demand for AI and cloud services. This will empower local businesses, particularly SMEs, with cutting-edge technologies. Minister Tengku Zafrul hailed the move as supporting Malaysia's goal of 3,000 smart factories by 2030. Oracle's investment also highlights Malaysia's growing role as a digital hub in Southeast Asia, offering over 150 cloud services and AI capabilities.
