TM Global recently participated in the 2024 Johor Interconnect Word Forum, held in Johor Bahru, which brought together more than 350 leading Telcos, Internet Service Providers, Internet Exchanges, Technology, Media & Telecom (TMT) Investors, and Government Agencies. This event provided an exceptional platform for TM Global to engage in meaningful discussions and foster relationships with industry players.

Baharul Nizam Said Daliman, our Vice President of International Sales, participated in the panel discussion titled “Can Malaysia do better to be the next Connectivity and Data Center Hub?”. In his remarks, Nizam discussed the challenges faced in meeting the surging demand from hyperscalers, highlighted the significant opportunities arising from Johor’s collaboration with Singapore and reaffirmed TM Global’s commitment to this growth through strategic investments in submarine cable systems as well as cable landing stations in Morib and Kuala Sedili.

TM Global’s Head of Data Centre, Mahathir Said, shared his valuable insights during the discussion on "Transforming and Adapting Telecom and Data Centers into the AI and Digital Age". He emphasised the technical capabilities of data centres to support AI requirements and the factors fueling substantial investor interest in Johor for new data centre developments. The recent announcement on TM's new hyperconnected AI-ready data centre in collaboration with Singtel made the panel highly engaging and sparked interest among attendees.

This is the second year TM Global has participated in the Johor Interconnect World Forum. We will continue to engage in various industry forums to drive sustainable growth and establish Malaysia as the regional digital hub.
