Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, CEO of Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), an instrumental partner of the summit said, "Data service outsourcing is one of the key investment areas for Malaysia, and it is not surprising that given our business and IT infrastructure, a largely English-speaking workforce, and technical expertise that we attract industry players to set up operations in Malaysia.
