Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "Because these data centres are willing to pay a premium, they can push the boundaries with regards to renewable energy [and] water recycling in matters that not just general consumers but even normal industries might not be able to because they are not able to absorb the costs.
50% : The country has also revised its water tariffs in recent years and was reconsidering energy subsidies as part of efforts to ensure the biggest corporations were paying full price, he added.
47% : Malaysia has also drawn investment thanks to a moratorium in Singapore on new data facilities between 2019 and 2022 over concerns about energy consumption.
