00:00One more thing, do you know if it will be a trap to Malaysia's data centre boom?

00:05Deep-sea?

00:06No, I don't think so. I think with developments like this, you understand how important it is to have data centres

00:15because ultimately if you're able to provide services at a much lower cost, you're going to be able to scale it a lot faster.

00:22You're going to see a lot of people using these services.

00:24And if that be the case, then of course there will be an increased demand for data.

00:29So it's really a question of us looking at it from that angle as well.

00:33So you've got new technology that's developing that will enable us to scale a lot faster.

00:37So the question is how it is we can ensure that policies that we have designed earlier

00:41are policies that are able to fit into these new developments as well

00:44in terms of how it is we scale, in terms of how we look at costing, in terms of energy consumption and what have you not.

00:50So there's a different series of things that we are looking at.

00:54And that's what I meant when I said that we are looking into it.

00:59And we will look into it as it goes along.
