Consider This: Johor Polls (Part 1) — The Politics of Data Centres

Johor has positioned itself at the centre of the global digital economy, emerging as Southeast Asia's leading destination for data-centre investment.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Charles Santiago, Director of research and advocacy organisation, Monitoring Sustainability of Globalisation, Co-Chair of the ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights & Former Chairperson the National Water Service Commission (SPAN).
