It will build a new data center in Singapore and complete the Intra Asia cable that runs from Japan to southeast Asia.

CEO Narasimhan Srinath said despite the economic slump the firm was committed to its plan to invest $1.5 billion over the next three years in emerging markets.

Tata recently bought a majority stake in South African telco Neotel. “We want to increase our presence in Africa, where there is strong growth potential, but future investments depend on demand and financing,” said Srinath.

COO Vinod Kumar will announce details at a press briefing in Singapore this afternoon.

A quick question for myself and probably you, why not choose Malaysia for the new data center?

Recently, Google Japan, Korea and China homepage have a different looks.

Google China Blog says that the three homepages were a part of bigger project meant to improve Google’s interface and to adapt it to local cultures. For example, Chinese users found it difficult to navigate to other Google services, since they were listed on a different page, so Google decided to place the links more prominently on the homepage.

Personally, I like Google China’s homepage that included animations to display icons and small descriptions for Google services like: Image Search, Google News or Dao Hang.

So which Asian country is the next? Does Google have any plan to change Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, Taiwan, Vietnam or Singapore default home page?
