### English
* **Long-term Energy Strategy:** The National Tech Association of Malaysia (Pikom) suggests integrating nuclear and solar energy to support the rising power demands of the data centre industry.
* **Power Demand Forecast:** Data centre energy consumption is projected to reach over 5,000MW by 2035, equivalent to 40% of Peninsular Malaysia's current power capacity.
* **Grid Reliability:** While the national grid remains stable for now, Pikom chairman Alex Liew warns that relying solely on existing energy sources (hydro, coal, gas) may create future bottlenecks.
* **Supply Chain Pressures:** Global uncertainties and AI demand have triggered a surge in RAM and SSD prices, with memory costs reportedly rising from RM30 to RM100 since December 2025.
