SEATTLE: Amazon Web Services Inc (AWS) is committed to realise Malaysia’s potential as a data hub in South-East Asia, and is expected to make a major investment this year to develop data centres in the country.
Senior Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said the government has given approval to AWS to invest in the country. However, AWS has informed that it still has some things to iron out with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF).
