Anwar added that Musk’s private spaceflight company SpaceX will operate as an internet service provider (ISP) using low-orbit satellites. This will be done via Starlink, the satellite network developed by SpaceX to provide low-cost internet to remote areas.
Tesla entry could boost related tech investments
Meanwhile, Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari said locations in the Petaling and Sepang districts are among those which have been identified for the site, with relevant authorities in both districts prepared to facilitate and coordinate the investment entry process.
Amirudin said Tesla’s investment in Malaysia reflects the investor community’s general confidence in the Selangor state government, adding that he hoped it would encourage more international battery technology companies to invest in the state as well.
“This will increase the younger generation’s desire to delve into high-tech fields, specifically, in the clean energy industry,” he said in a statement.
