Malaysia has been a key player in semiconductor assembly and testing for decades, but now it’s aiming higher, moving into chip design and development. As global trade tensions rise and the competition for semiconductor dominance heats up, Malaysia faces both opportunities and challenges in strengthening its role in the industry. What will it take to climb the value chain, attract top investments, and build a strong talent pipeline? And how can the country navigate shifting regulations without getting caught in the middle of global tech rivalries? We explore these big questions with Andrew Chan, Director of the Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association.
