The Sarawak state administration has unveiled intentions to establish a specialized artificial-intelligence data campus at Tanjung Embang in the Kota Samarahan region. Chief Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg noted the location—just outside Kuching—will serve as a focal point for both governmental and commercial AI development and investigation.

Key highlights of the initiative:
• The facility is set to span several hundred acres at Tanjung Embang, capitalizing on its closeness to Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) and surrounding academic and research bodies.
• It aims to cater to government data requirements—ranging from smart-city platforms to digital public services—while also offering scalable infrastructure for enterprise AI, big-data analytics, and cloud computing.
• Execution will be managed by the Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) in collaboration with technology companies and educational institutions. Preliminary work is slated to commence next year, with a staggered opening starting in 2025.
• This undertaking is a component of the state’s wider digital-economy strategy, which seeks to bolster digital connectivity, expand data-centre capabilities, and generate new high-tech employment throughout Sarawak. Abang Johari has recently allocated RM16 billion to support these efforts.

By bringing together data-centre operations, research laboratories, and training facilities at one site, Sarawak intends to become a regional frontrunner in AI and digital innovation—drawing investment, nurturing local expertise, and expediting the integration of intelligent technologies in both public services and private business.
