MyTelehaus, Partners to Build New Data Center in Malaysia's Selangor State
January 8, 2026
Malaysia's data center market is witnessing significant growth, fueled by rising digital demand and strategic regional positioning. This expansion is underscored by a new joint venture project in the key market of Selangor.
Data center operator MyTelehaus has entered into an agreement with a joint venture formed by Singaporean property developer Lum Chang and Malaysian investor Tien Wah Press Holdings to construct a new facility. The project, announced via a filing with the Singapore Exchange on January 7, will be located on a 1.61-acre land parcel in Petaling Jaya, a major urban area west of Kuala Lumpur.
Under the terms of the agreement, the joint venture entity, Lum Chang Tien Wah Property Sdn Berhad, will be responsible for constructing the core and shell of the data center. MyTelehaus will manage the design, funding, installation, and commissioning of the mechanical and electrical systems. The filing notes that revenue sharing between the parties will be proportionate to their respective capital expenditure contributions for each development phase. Specific details regarding the facility's IT capacity and construction timeline were not disclosed.
The location places the facility within one of Malaysia's two primary data center hubs. Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding areas, including Selangor, are established as major colocation and cloud service hubs, while Johor Bahru in the south has attracted more hyperscale development activity.
This project represents a strategic move for the involved parties. For MyTelehaus, a Malaysian operator acquired by Hong Kong's PCCW in 2020 and later integrated into DigitalBridge's Vantage Data Centers portfolio in a $750 million deal, it marks continued expansion in its home market. For Lum Chang, one of Singapore's largest construction firms, and Tien Wah, primarily an investment holding company with printing subsidiaries, the venture represents a foray into the high-growth digital infrastructure sector.
The development aligns with broader investment trends in Southeast Asia's data center landscape, highlighting the region's appeal for international capital and expertise aimed at meeting escalating regional data processing needs.
