00:00The inaugural Cloudtech and Datacenter Conference 2024 kicked off on Wednesday with discussions
00:08on the advancements in cloud technology and datacenters.
00:12Participants were able to gain valuable insights into key industry trends and have a better
00:16understanding of current market demands through the talks and forums with an international
00:20panel of experts, including speakers from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
00:26First-of-honour Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nee Ching delivered the keynote address
00:30which emphasised our critical reliance on data.
00:35Robust datacenters have emerged as a backbone of the digital age.
00:40This conference that brings together the business or community to discuss these technologies
00:46could not have come at a more opportune moment as we capitalise on the momentum of the country's
00:53digital transformation.
00:55Ladies and gentlemen, Southeast Asia, and Malaysia in particular, is rapidly becoming
01:01a regional technological capital.
01:04The Manadese government's commitment to digitisation is fostering an ecosystem ripped
01:11with innovation and progress.
01:14Also present at the event was Star Media Group Group Chief Executive Officer Chan Seng Fat
01:19and Chief Business Officer Lydia Wang.
01:22Organised by Star Media Group, the CloudTech and Datacenter Conference 2024 featured a
01:27full line-up of thought leaders who brought a wealth of knowledge based on their diverse
01:31backgrounds and experiences.
01:34The industry is moving so fast.
01:36There's a lot of information out there, there's misinformation, there's a lack of industry
01:42expertise that needs to be brought to the forefront.
01:45Conferences like this actually send a very clear message and get the correct messaging
01:50out to the number one industry players, general public, on what government legislation is
01:56coming, how datacentres are affecting the landscape we live in.
01:59I mean, we've got so much investment coming to Malaysia, right?
02:02There's definitely going to be an impact.
02:03There's going to be an economic impact, there's going to be an environmental impact, there's
02:06also a data sovereignty impact, right?
02:08So all those things come into play.
02:10So these conferences are very important for actually getting the messaging out right.
02:13Today's conference, it actually helps us to learn from other industry players on what
02:18to expect in the next five to ten years.
02:21Because at the end of the day, AI is what I call a reinvention of internet.
02:25A lot of people are confused, a lot of people are still having questions on what AI is all
02:29about and how it affects us as far as the datacentre industry is concerned.
02:34So today's session is for us to exchange our information, to learn from others on the best
02:38practices and how we move forward.
02:40In addition, the two-day conference provided an avenue for networking and collaboration
02:45opportunities with other like-minded professionals looking to level up their expertise in cloud
02:50technology and datacentres.
