Google, Welcome to Malaysia!

As we know Google is considering building a largest off shore data center outside of US and probably Asia. In fact, many Asia country are trying hard to bring Google to their country such as: Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, India and etc.

According to Slashdot, Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi met with Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the Davos conference in Switzerland Friday. Afterward he told Malaysian media that Google is "interested" in a data center in Malaysia. "They want to make their presence felt in Malaysia," Badawi said. "I was told that Malaysians formed the highest group of Google users in South-East Asia. The report said it "is believed the world’s top Internet search engine company was eyeing Malaysia, India or Vietnam to set up its data centre facilities."

Again, as a Malaysian I definitely welcome Google to Malaysia especially Cyberjaya! In Cyberjaya, we have fews MNC included HP, Dell, IBM, Motorola,  DHL, Shell, Fujitsu, HSBC, NTT and etc. I believed MDEC or Malaysia government will have an attractive plan for Google. Free Tax, free electrical supply, free water supply , free facilities, building or land, and what else you need?
