The cumulative investment will strengthen Malaysia’s role as a regional digital hub, and Malaysia is set to account for over half of its global headcount growth in 2026, with the company aiming to double its workforce to about 1,200 direct employees locally, it said in a statement. The expansion is expected to create over 5,000 jobs across the wider supply chain, alongside more than 200 high-value roles under Phase II of its Global Shared Services Centre in Kuala Lumpur, spanning finance, procurement and corporate functions. Its chief executive, Jamie Khoo, said Malaysia has become a cornerstone of the group’s regional strategy, supported by existing infrastructure, including a regional operations hub in Johor and an expanded services centre in the capital. To support talent development, DayOne will roll out internship and graduate programmes while training over 1,000 data centre engineers at its regional operations and training hub in Johor. — Bernama-Xinhua
