怕输的新加坡，开始慌了：市场正在被邻国取代（讲解版）｜E0710

▍原文

Singapore made a surprise announcement last month that it would free up more power for data centre expansion.

The move came as the chief executives of Nvidia, Google, Microsoft and others have been swinging by neighbouring Malaysia, pledging billions in investment.

The decision was a surprise because the government imposed a three-year moratorium on new data centres. The proliferation of the energy-guzzling facilities had been consuming a substantial amount of Singapore's resources.
