: Malaysia is stepping up its game in the semiconductor playing field, moving up the value chain by focusing on the front-end segment, said Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
“We have a slight advantage due to our track record and the ecosystem established by both Malaysian companies and multinational corporations,” said Tengku Zafrul, adding that the multinational companies have created numerous opportunities for local companies to thrive. At the same time, Tengku Zafrul said there are a lot of opportunities for ASEAN members to work together to boost the semiconductor industry, including in establishing an ecosystem within the region.
