Tanjong Malim in Perak is emerging as Malaysia's
prime AI datacenter hub, driven by Sungai Samak
Estate’s five plots ready for solar-powered, water-
cooled hyperscale development.
Rising AI demand is straining global grids. Sites like
Sungai Samak, with on-site renewables and cooling
resources, address electricity adequacy and
sustainability in one design.
The estate provides full solar
exposure, water sources for
efficient cooling, and ample land
without congestion, enabling
faster permits and easier
integration of infrastructure.
Southern Johor faces grid congestion and cooling issues; Cyberjaya is cost-heavy with
minimal renewable capacity; Selangor battles industrial competition for power supply
and land.
Tanjong Malim offers strategic highway and fiber
links, cooler climate, and policy support, ensuring
scalability free from the delays plaguing
Malaysia's saturated datacenter hubs.
Perak’s incentives, streamlined approvals and
potential renewable PPAs create a stable base for
phased AI datacenter builds, avoiding the
overcapacity risks seen in global markets.
With efficient energy integration, abundant cooling, and growth-ready infrastructure, Sungai Samak
Estate stands as a resilient choice for AI innovation in Malaysia's future.
