Singapore June 3 - Alphabet's Google said on

Monday the completion of its data centre and cloud facilities

expansion in Singapore meant it had invested $5 billion in its

technical infrastructure in the Southeast Asian nation.

The company said its data centres in Singapore employ over

500 people and are used to power services such as Google Search

and Maps.

Last week, Google said it would invest $2 billion in

Malaysia to develop its first data centre in the country.
