Malaysia’s future in AI data infrastructure lies in Tanjong Malim, where abundant water, low OPEX, and five expansive plots at Sungai Samak Estate enable scalable hyperscale AI hubs — outpacing Johor’s rising costs and infrastructure strain, and integrating on‑site solar for sustainable growth.

TANJONG MALIM POISED TO OVERTAKE JOHOR AS
MALAYSIA’S PRIME AI DATA CENTRE HUB AMID
RISING RESOURCE STRAIN IN SOUTHERN CORRIDOR.
Southern Johor grew fast on Singapore spillover but
now faces rising water costs, land scarcity, and grid
constraints that threaten its appeal for AI‑grade data
centres.
Johor's industrial water tariffs
are high, river basins are
stressed, and large contiguous
plots near major fibre networks
are limited, raising expansion
and OPEX challenges.
Tanjong Malim in Perak offers abundant water, stable tariffs, and plentiful land. Its low
industrial competition ensures cooling and power security for decades‑long
deployments.
A 376‑acre cluster at Sungai Samak Estate can
host multi‑phase AI campuses with high‑density
racks and integrate utility‑scale solar to cut Scope
2 emissions and costs.
On‑site solar could exceed 100MWp, offsetting 10%+ of
annual load, reducing peak grid draw while boosting
sustainability—ideal for resource‑efficient AI model
training centres.
With central access to Kuala Lumpur via rail and expressway plus stable grid capacity, Tanjong Malim
is primed to complement and outperform over‑crowded southern Johor.
