SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son plans $50 billion investment in Malaysia, betting on AI and data centers
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar announced that SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son plans a $50 billion investment in Malaysia covering AI, emerging technologies and data centers, with Sarawak, Kuching and peninsular locations named. Anwar said he discussed the plan with Son in an online meeting on October 20. It matters because a commitment at this scale would make Malaysia a major node in SoftBank AI infrastructure bets, though the announcement so far describes a plan rather than a signed deal.
