KUCHING, Oct 10: Sarawak’s abundant water resources could give the State an added advantage in attracting data centre investments, complementing its supply of clean electricity, says Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

Speaking at the parade held in conjunction with the 80th birthday celebration of Sarawak Governor (TYT) Tun Pehin Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar at Padang Merdeka today, he said water was needed not only for electricity generation but also for cooling systems used in data centres, giving Sarawak an additional advantage over other parts of the country.

“Sarawak is blessed with abundant water resources, which are used to generate clean electricity that forms part of Sarawak’s economic strength, not found in other areas.
