Singtel's Nxera and Malaysia's TM partner for data centre development

It will be built in Johor, Malaysia.

Nxera MY Pte. Ltd, a subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel), has entered a joint venture agreement with TM DC Educity Sdn Bhd (TM DC Educity), a subsidiary of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) to develop and operate a data centre campus in Johor, Malaysia.

Under this agreement, Nxera MY will hold a 49% stake whilst TM DC Educity will hold 51% in a new Malaysian company, ST Dynamo DC Sdn Bhd (DC Co). They plan to invest up to $330.4m (RM1,152m) over five years, with Nxera MY committing $162m (RM564m) from internal resources.

Additionally, DC Co has secured a deal to purchase approximately 168,959 square metres of freehold land in Johor Bahru for $51.1m (RM178.2m). This acquisition, based on a market valuation of $66m (RM229m) for data centre use as of 24 May, was appraised by Rahim & Co International Sdn Bhd, an independent registered valuer.

These transactions are pending approval from TM's non-interested shareholders and regulatory authorities in Malaysia.

Singtel anticipates that these transactions will not significantly impact its financial statements for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2025.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
