  "summary": "Gamuda Bhd has secured RM3.57 billion in contracts to build two hyperscale data centres in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan, as demand for digital infrastructure continues to grow. The US-headquartered multinational technology company awarded the construction contracts to Gamuda Engineering Sdn Bhd on August 28, with each project valued at RM1.79 billion and RM1.78 billion, respectively. Both projects are set to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the first data centre expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2028 and the second by the fourth quarter of the same year. The contracts involve constructing two single-storey hyperscale data centre facilities, including site infrastructure works, building core and shell construction, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing fit-out works. Gamuda expects the projects to contribute to its revenue and earnings for the financial year ending July 31, 2027, and through their completion.",
