U.S technology giant NVIDIA & YTL Power Landmark Deal to Propel Malaysia as ASEAN’s Premier AI Hub, Boosting Economic Growth

Malaysia is set to become ASEAN’s leading AI hub, thanks to a transformative partnership between US technology giant NVIDIA Corporation and YTL Power International Berhad—a collaboration that underscores YTL Power’s strategic role in advancing Malaysia’s digital economy and sustainable development.

Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz hailed the agreement as a major economic milestone, with YTL Power spearheading the development of cutting-edge AI infrastructure powered by renewable energy—backed by an RM10 billion investment that will accelerate Malaysia’s technological sovereignty and high-value job creation.

YTL Power’s Strategic Contributions to Malaysia’s Economy:
AI Data Centre Leadership – YTL Power will develop next-generation AI data centres, positioning Malaysia as a regional powerhouse for cloud and AI services.
Green Energy Commitment – Leveraging YTL’s expertise in sustainable infrastructure, the project will utilize clean energy, aligning with Malaysia’s Net Zero goals and enhancing its ESG leadership in ASEAN.
Sovereign AI & Digital Independence – The partnership will deliver Malaysia’s first sovereign large language model (LLM), reducing reliance on foreign tech and fostering homegrown AI innovation.
Economic Multiplier Effect – The RM10 billion investment will stimulate high-skilled employment, local tech entrepreneurship, and foreign direct investment (FDI), reinforcing Malaysia’s competitive edge in the global digital economy.

HOMME TRIBUTE : Dame Cleo Laine, Lady Dankworth, Britain’s most successful jazz singer

Dame Cleo Laine, Lady Dankworth the UK’s most successful and celebrated jazz singer, has died aged 97.

A statement from her children Jacqui and Alec reads: “It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved mother, Cleo, who died peacefully yesterday afternoon. We will all miss her terribly. The family wish to be given space to grieve and ask for privacy at this very difficult time.”

She was well known for a longstanding collaboration with her late husband, the composer and reed player John Dankworth, singing with his jazz bands from the mid-1950s onwards. But she also had a stellar solo career, including in the US, where she became the only female artist to be nominated for Grammy awards in pop, jazz and classical categories; few singers have the versatility to deliver atonal Arnold Schoenberg pieces and to have duetted with Ray Charles.

HOMME TRIBUTE : Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath frontman and icon of British heavy metal

Ozzy Osbourne, whose gleeful “Prince of Darkness” image made him one of the most iconic rock frontmen of all time, has died aged 76.

A statement from the Osbourne family reads: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.” No cause of death was given, though Osbourne had experienced various forms of ill health in recent years.

Osbourne was one of the most notorious figures in rock: an innovator whose eerie wail helped usher in heavy metal, a showman who once bit the head off a bat on stage, an addict whose substance abuse led him to attempt to murder his wife, and latterly, a reality TV star much loved for his bemusement at family life on The Osbournes.

His death comes less than three weeks after his retirement from performance. On 5 July, Osbourne reunited with his original bandmates in the pioneering group Black Sabbath for the first time since 2005, for Back to the Beginning: an all-star farewell concert featuring some of the biggest names in metal. “I’ve been laid up for six years, and you’ve got no idea how I feel,” he told the crowd that night, referring to extensive health issues including a form of Parkinson’s and numerous surgeries on his spine. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
He was born John Michael Osbourne in Aston, Birmingham, in 1948, the son of a pair of factory workers. He had a tough upbringing. As well as living in relative poverty, aged 11 he was repeatedly sexually abused by two boys: “It was terrible … It seemed to go on for ever,” he told the Mirror in 2003. He was also jailed for burglary: “I was no good at that. Fu***ng useless,” he admitted in 2014.

This industrial working-class environment fed into the sound of Osbourne’s defining musical project, Black Sabbath, whose heavy sound revolutionised British rock music. “We wanted to put how we thought about the world at the time,”

ASIA TALKS PENANG Chapter

ASIA TALKS presented a distinguished platform for brands and companies committed to integrity and intelligent dialogue. The recent flagship event, "ASEAN and the TRUMP Tariffs: Navigating Economic Challenges in a Shifting Global Landscape," fostered high-level discussions on trade tensions and ASEAN’s evolving economic role.

Held on Thursday, 26th June 2025, at The George Hotel, in the UNESCO listed George Town, Penang. The event brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and key stakeholders for strategic conversations. Presented by ASIA ODYSSEY and sponsored by the Melbourne Capital Group.

Why ASIA TALKS Stands Out:
- A premier forum for meaningful discourse on Asia’s economic future.
- A platform aligned with thought leadership and impactful exchange.
- An opportunity for brands to engage with influential decision-makers.

ASIA TALKS continues to serve as a vital space where Asia’s leaders shape tomorrow through insightful dialogue.

"Where Asia’s Leaders Define Tomorrow"

Review:

"Brilliant ASEAN Insights at ASIA TALKS Penang

Former Thai PM Abhisit Vejjajiva delivered a masterclass on navigating Trump-era tariffs during ASIA TALKS' afternoon session. His razor-sharp analysis balanced geopolitical realities with visionary solutions, stressing ASEAN unity, supply chain integration, and digital transformation. The statesman's rare blend of academic depth and political acumen shone through as he transformed complex economics into actionable strategies. The daylight setting fostered vibrant discussions, with attendees engaging the speaker well beyond his address. This session reaffirmed ASIA TALKS as the region's premier platform for substantive dialogue, where leaders like Vejjajiva don't just discuss challenges - they chart solutions".
