Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Malaysia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Malaysia.

Full building, build-to-suit with purchase option · as of 2022-09-29

DCD (2018-11-27) reported Keppel Data Centres Holding and Alpha DC Fund would build a Tier III build-to-suit in Sedenak for 'one of the top three cloud operators globally', 'understood to be Microsoft'. DCD (2022-09-29) on Keppel Corp's acquisition of the asset repeats that the cloud-provider tenant was 'rumored to be Microsoft' and held a purchase option. Never confirmed by Keppel or Microsoft in the eight years since; DCD is the named source.
