Why does Malaysia give tax breaks to data centers?
- piva00 4mo agoDefinitely not because of long-term employment, even very large DCs only employ about a hundred staff on-site.
- nfw2 4mo agoA hundred is a lot bigger than five
- piva00 4mo agoStill very few for deserving a tax break based on potential employment opportunities. A DC simply doesn't help the local economy, it's very often a net-negative: it's very resource-intensive while not generating much in terms of economical activity for where it sits at. In a sense it's purely extractivist consuming land, water, and energy without benefits to the community.
- nfw2 4mo agoThey consume land? Where does the land go?
