Singtel's Nxera and Malaysia's TM partner for data centre development

It will be built in Johor, Malaysia.

Nxera MY Pte. Ltd, a subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel), has entered a joint venture agreement with TM DC Educity Sdn Bhd (TM DC Educity), a subsidiary of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) to develop and operate a data centre campus in Johor, Malaysia.

Under this agreement, Nxera MY will hold a 49% stake whilst TM DC Educity will hold 51% in a new Malaysian company, ST Dynamo DC Sdn Bhd (DC Co). They plan to invest up to $330.4m (RM1,152m) over five years, with Nxera MY committing $162m (RM564m) from internal resources.

Additionally, DC Co has secured a deal to purchase approximately 168,959 square metres of freehold land in Johor Bahru for $51.1m (RM178.2m). This acquisition, based on a market valuation of $66m (RM229m) for data centre use as of 24 May, was appraised by Rahim & Co International Sdn Bhd, an independent registered valuer.

These transactions are pending approval from TM's non-interested shareholders and regulatory authorities in Malaysia.

Singtel anticipates that these transactions will not significantly impact its financial statements for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2025.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
