[SINGAPORE] Data centres have become “politically salient”, Tan Kiat How, Singapore’s Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, said on Friday (Nov 6).

His comments came in the wake of American voters’ bruising rebuke to data centre expansion in the US, as midterm election results widely seen as signalling support for restrictions on development have fuelled a global sell-off in tech stocks.
