Cyberjaya remains the core hub, supported by strong investments from local and international players like AirTrunk, Bridge Data Centres, NTT, YTL Data Centers, and others. Continued adoption of AI, 5G rollout, and data localization requirements are boosting demand for reliable capacity. At the same time, Malaysia's push for renewable energy and national AI initiatives signals strong government backing for digital growth. While the introduction of new power tariffs and surcharges poses cost considerations for operators, Malaysia's strong fundamentals, from network connectivity improvements to a favorable investment climate, continue to reinforce its position as a high-potential market for colocation providers and investors looking to tap into Southeast Asia's expanding digital economy. Surging AI Workloads Fuel New Demand for High-Density, Green Data Centers in Malaysia The rapid adoption of AI across sectors such as manufacturing and healthcare is accelerating demand for AI-ready data center capacity in Malaysia. Over the next two to three years, this growth is expected to drive investments in advanced cooling systems, higher rack power density, and upgraded UPS and backup infrastructure to support high-performance computing workloads. Leading operators are already responding to this trend. In May 2024, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) announced the rollout of AI-ready facilities across six Southeast Asian markets, including Malaysia, with a combined capacity exceeding 500 MW (operational and under development). The new AI-optimized sites in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines are set to go live within the next two to three years, strengthening Malaysia's position as a key hub for scalable, high-density digital infrastructure in the region. Capacity Developments: Malaysia's Colocation Power Growth and New Deals Core & shell capacity: As of May 2025, Malaysia's colocation operators have added over 751 MW of total core & shell power capacity, with an installed capacity of ~637 MW and a strong utilization rate of ~85% (approx. 540 MW). Major energy deal: In December 2024, Bridge Data Centres signed an Electricity Supply Agreement with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) to secure 400 MW for its MY07 data center in Johor. Strategic joint venture: In October 2024, Mah Sing partnered with Bridge Data Centres to develop a new 200 MW data center outside Kuala Lumpur, expanding large-scale capacity in a key metro market. New data center park: Also in October 2024, FutureData secured Global Telecommunications as its first tenant for its Sarawak data center park, with an initial commitment of 17 MW out of the site's planned 500 MW. Construction begins in 2025. Liquid Cooling Innovations Strengthen Colocation Efficiency for Next-Gen Workloads As demand for high-density workloads and AI applications grows, operators are adopting advanced liquid cooling solutions to achieve higher efficiency and reliability than conventional air cooling. Newer liquid-based methods, including immersion and direct-to-chip cooling, enable precise, scalable thermal management with lower energy consumption and improved operational performance. Providers like Bridge Data Centres now offer versatile solutions, such as the X Cooling System Series, which combines air-cooled, water-cooled, cold plate, and immersion liquid cooling options to meet diverse capacity requirements, including emerging AI-driven use cases. These advancements position liquid cooling as a practical path for colocation providers to enhance sustainability, reduce operating costs, and deliver next-generation infrastructure for high-performance computing.

Japan Inc. takes global credit by storm with record sales
Debt bankers and investors are bracing for what is shaping up to be the next big trend in the global credit market: Japan Inc. raising billions abroad. A string of recent megadeals is setting the tone. A giant sale by telecom giant NTT has already driven Japanese nonfinancial corporate issuance in euros and dollars to a record this year, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. One Morgan Stanley banker in London has even come up with a nickname for such bonds: reverse Samurai. Japanese companies are heading overseas to borrow as their local market is becoming too volatile and rates are rising. They are finding there is buoyant demand for credit among dollar and euro investors in much deeper and more stable pools of capital. "We see a decent pipeline for the year ahead,' said Matteo Benedetto, EMEA co-head of investment-grade syndicate at Morgan Stanley, one of the lead banks on NTT's and Nissan Motor's sales. "While strategic projects take time, we could potentially see a growing trend of Japanese borrowers tapping the international market.' The latest trio of Japanese sales, comprising NTT, Nissan and technology group SoftBank Group, totaled more than $26 billion and drew over $128 billion in orders. NTT's deal was the second biggest of the year in the entire U.S. market. Chipmaker Kioxia sold dollar notes on Wednesday in its debut bond issuance, having upsized the deal to $2.2 billion. Behind all this is a historic shift: Japan's bond market — a vast and formerly tranquil pool of capital — is becoming unpredictable for companies looking to raise funding. Government yields, previously kept in check by the Bank of Japan, are jumping as traders are concerned about government spending ahead of a July 20 election. For example, a seven-year, single-A corporate bond denominated in yen would be expected to pay about 1.6%, according to BVAL pricing. That's double the amount recorded about 18 months ago and far above the near-zero levels back in 2021. And with higher government bond rates, the extra yield on corporate bonds is no longer the only way to earn positive returns for yen-based investors. This has the potential to dampen demand for new credit issuance in the Japanese currency. Meanwhile Japanese firms, excluding financial institutions, have ¥13.2 trillion ($89 billion) of bonds coming due by the end of 2026, which along with acquisitions could drive the need for debt issuance, according to Sharon Chen, a credit analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. "Utilities, transportation and telecom companies have large refinancing needs and might be more likely to tap the dollar bond market to raise long-term funding,' she said. "The dollar and euro markets' depth and longer tenors could make them more attractive than the domestic market.' By contrast to the Japanese market, borrowing costs for high-grade credit in both U.S. dollar and euros have either remained stable or fallen in the past couple of years, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. And investors in the U.S. and Europe are flush with cash from relentless investor inflows and ready to put money to work. NTT's multitranche issue raised $17.7 billion — a record for an Asian corporate — after drawing orders of more than $100 billion. "There are companies that want to fund and are being a little bit opportunistic, but they wouldn't be able to do it if there wasn't demand,' said Andreas Michalitsianos, portfolio manager at JPMorgan Asset Management. "That's the thing about supply. It only comes when there's demand and syndicate desks are very good at that.' To be sure, no offering will be guaranteed success. There's the chance of investor fatigue after a flood of recent borrowing. And there are plenty of risks from unpredictable U.S. trade policy. Still, global investors have a lot of capacity to add exposure to Japan. The country's borrowers account for only about 2% of the dollar high-grade index and 1.6% of the euro benchmark. It's a similar picture in junk bond trackers. This opportunity to buy little-seen names was among the selling points of bankers when placing the NTT issue. It could be their pitch for potential future deals as well. "There is so much interest right now for U.S. dollar and euro credit, especially in the context of diversification opportunities,' said Morgan Stanley's Benedetto. NTT "was a must buy.'

Japan's $100B Bond Boom Is Just Beginning -- Wall Street Can't Get Enough
Japanese giants are storming the global bond marketand investors are piling in. NTT, Nissan (NSANY), and SoftBank (SFTBY) have just raised over $26 billion in a string of blockbuster deals that's turning heads on Wall Street and beyond. NTT alone pulled in a staggering $17.7 billion, with demand topping $100 billionmaking it the second-largest US dollar bond sale this year. One Morgan Stanley banker is calling this surge of overseas issuance the rise of reverse Samurai bonds. And there's more coming. Kioxia Holdings is next in line, upsizing its debut dollar bond to $2.2 billion. The reason? Japan's local bond market is getting shaky, with yields now twice what they were 18 months ago. Companies are heading west, where demand is deeper, costs are lower, and maturities stretch longer. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 13 Warning Signs with SFTBY. Behind the scenes, there's a major shift unfolding. Japan's once-stable debt market is no longer a sure thing. Traders are pricing in more government spending, pushing yields higher and making yen-based debt less appealingboth for issuers and investors. Case in point: a seven-year, single-A yen bond now yields around 1.6%, up from near-zero in 2021. And with 13.2 trillion ($89 billion) in bonds maturing by 2026, non-financial Japanese corporates are facing a refinancing wall. Bloomberg Intelligence credit analyst Sharon Chen points out that sectors like utilities, telecom, and transport are especially likely to go offshore, where the euro and dollar markets offer longer tenors and tighter spreads. For global investors, this could be just the beginning. Japan still makes up a tiny slice of global bond indexesjust 2% in the dollar high-grade market and 1.6% in Europe. That's part of the appeal. Portfolio managers are hungry for new names and fresh diversification plays. And with syndicate desks flush with cash and demand running hot, issuers are striking while the window's wide open. As JPMorgan's Andreas Michalitsianos put it: Supply only comes when there's demand. Right now, that demand is roaring. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
