  "summary": "Malaysia's Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Sim Tze Tzin has emphasized that the country's growing data centre investments must translate into more local businesses, skilled jobs, and technology capabilities. At the Data Centre Nexus (DCN) 2026, he highlighted the importance of creating economic value from the capacity being built, with a focus on AI adoption, home-grown innovation, and higher-value jobs. MIDA chairman Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz echoed this sentiment, stressing that the benefits of data-centre investments should extend beyond the facilities themselves, focusing on building a sustainable ecosystem.",
