In recent meeting with Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said “Google has started discussions with Malaysia’s Multimedia Development Corp on establishing a base in the country.” (reuters)

Google has been rated as the best company to work for in America again for 2008. Currently, Hanson Toh, Malaysia Google Country Consultant, is the only Google employee in Malaysia.

Google has offices in China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.

My two cents

My friend said it is a good chance for me to work for Google. Although I have been receiving money from Google AdSense for years, I don’t think I will work for others if the job is not attractive enough. After all, I have been a full time blogger for over 2 years. The freedom is priceless.

Would you like to work for Google?

  • Blog it too in my blog this morning, hehehe. May look into any kind of appropriate collaboration if there is any in the future when they set up their office here.
  • @LcF, Agreed with you. I don't think I'll work for Google if im a full time blogger.
  • holymama
    My advice to Google, Dont open office in Malaysia. You will regret!
  • It would be great if Google can setup an office here especially Cyberjaya.
  • khairil
    doubt it google will shift their regional hub from singapore to here especially after dell moving its operations there and intel retreating from cyberjaya. guess badawi was just bragging in davos. the most likely google would set up in malaysia is a server farm. but then again, pardon the internet connection here.
  • I'll definitely make a visit to Google Office if they open one in Malaysia. I love Google.
  • I wonder if Malaysian Gahmen till enforce NEP on Google Malaysia ?
  • Google largest off shore data center in Taiwan - http://www.planetlowyat.com/blog/google-largest...

    Nicholas, visit Google office? I don't think they will allow anyone visit them without a good justification :P
  • Well, I think setting up offices here will make you a pioneer in web portal technology, since web portal is a neccesity in every businesses in Malaysia and eventually like it or not IT or blogging will not be a phobia for all levels of community, due to human becoming more technological advanced and knowledge will accumulate wisdom of all mankind through time and research and contribution towards the nation, manpaower and society. Thoo Wai Kiat will say "Welcome Google" to a nation called Malaysia, a nation with new pioneers in web technology coming soon creating jobs and chances for businesses to communicate, interact and diminishing blogging phobias in societies with good wisdom and planning. See you there Google

    Depends on how far is the office from my place, transportation comes first. I have seen some Google working enviroment pictures before, it is real funny, i haerd about lots of workload, but atleast they allow eating infront of pc when it's needed..
  • The freedom is relative!!!! Well, I would work - why not?
