Commenting on this regional recognition, Khairul Liza Ibrahim, TM Global’s Executive Vice President said, "We are pleased that our innovative ideas and meticulous execution have garnered regional acclaim, and will continue these efforts in other states to meet the ever-growing data co-location demand.
