Robblee said his firm already enjoys Malaysian tax benefits such as the Investment Tax Credit and Pioneer Status Program, and is hoping to see more. “The shortest time to process the land permits usually takes months, but it could take years. So companies who are keen to develop data centres are hoping that the processes can be accelerated,” he added.China tech giant GDS Holding senior vice president of international business Jimmy Yu said there were concerns about the ability of Johor’s infrastructure to cope with demands of the data centres that would likely be the core of the JS-SEZ.
Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said last month that officials from Malaysia and Singapore were hopeful of finalising the agreement for the JS-SEZ by November.
