DayOne To Build 1.2 Bln Euros Hyperscale Data Centre Campus In Lahti, Finland

BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Singapore-based data centre developer and operator, DayOne has announced a landmark 1.2 billion euros investment to develop a hyperscale data centre campus in Lahti, marking one of Finland's most significant digital infrastructure projects to date. (1 Euro = RM4.90) DayOne Data Centers Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Khoo said Finland is an ideal strategic choice for the company's European growth. 'We are proud to invest 1.2 billion euros in the Lahti project into the Finnish economy and collaborate closely with Lahti to drive local innovation and sustainability,' said Khoo. The Lahti data centre project will transform a former industrial site, located in the neighbourhood of Kiveriö, into an advanced, high-performance digital infrastructure facility with the site that, spanning 98,901 square metres, is fully zoned for industrial usage. DayOne in a statement said construction will commence with site demolition in the third quarter this year, and operations are scheduled to be ready for service in 2027. The data centre campus has been designed with minimal disruption to neighbouring areas and aligns with long-term sustainable land-use goals, in which facilities are designed aiming for LEED Gold certification or higher. The company's investment will significantly bolster Lahti's digital economy while contributing to job creation in the city and across Finland, with the expectation of supporting a progressive ramp-up of 100 direct skilled positions and employing 1,000 construction workers onsite at its construction peak. With a global presence spanning Asia Pacific and Europe, DayOne will enter into a Growth Partnership Agreement with the City of Lahti, Lahti Region Development LADEC, Lahti Energy, and local educational institutions, including a commitment of 2.5 million euros to LUT Universities as outlined in the agreement. -- BERNAMA

Indonesia's Prabowo hails 5pc growth, defends free school meals in first state address

JAKARTA, Aug 15 — Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto emphasised an expectation-defying economy, low unemployment rate and slew of ambitious social welfare initiatives as he delivered his first state address to parliament on Friday. The ex-special forces commander took office in October after a campaign to rehabilitate an image tainted by allegations of rights abuses committed during the Suharto dictatorship in the late 1990s. The 73-year-old populist leader has pledged fast, state-driven growth to transform South-east Asia's largest country into a major global powerhouse. But his hallmark schemes, including a free school meal programme to address childhood stunting, have strained state coffers, stoked investor fears and triggered student protests. In his speech, Prabowo defended his social policies and pointed to positive second-quarter economic results after his government set an ambitious goal of eight percent growth. 'Amid political conflict, global economic conflict, (and the US) trade war... Indonesia still managed to grow above five percent,' he told parliament. After US President Donald Trump threatened Indonesia with a heavy tariff rate of 32 per cent in April, Prabowo negotiated a lower levy of 19 per cent in return for bringing down trade barriers for American goods. Last week, the statistics agency showed Q2 growth had accelerated to 5.12 per cent, beating forecasts and up from 4.87 per cent the previous quarter. He also pointed to the unemployment rate, which has dropped to its lowest since the Asian financial crisis. On his social welfare agenda, Prabowo shrugged off criticism of the billion-dollar free lunch programme for schoolkids and pregnant mothers, touting its reach of 20 million people. 'Our goal... is to be free from poverty, free from hunger, free from suffering,' he said. He faced protests across Indonesia in February for widespread cuts to fund the scheme — which has been dogged by reported delays and food poisonings — as well as a new sovereign wealth fund. Prabowo succeeded the popular Joko Widodo last year in a third attempt at the presidency after a campaign in which he pledged policy continuity. Prabowo will also unveil the 2026 budget later on Friday, ahead of the archipelago nation's independence day on Sunday. — AFP
