Singapore finally revealed last week the winning bids of its Call For Application (CFA), or tender for short, for new data center construction and operation – they call it a pilot, effectively lifting the four-year old moratorium.  It took a full year to close, and when awarded, was upped to four lots of 20MW from the previously anticipated three.  This is still a tiny amount by today’s hyperscale standards, that often see new data centers emerge around the globe about an order of magnitude bigger, including in neighboring Malaysia, in the state of Johor Bahru a mere few kilometers away.  Hence, these can only be viewed as symbolic.
