🚀 $250 Million, 10 Years! Malaysia Silicon Vision？
Malaysia is making a bold move in the semiconductor industry, aiming to shift from a global testing and assembly hub to a high-value IC design and innovation powerhouse. At the Malaysia Silicon Vision 2025 event, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Minister of Economy Rafizi Ramli, Minister of Investment, Trade, and Industry (MITI) Tengku Tengku Zafrul Aziz, and key representatives from NCER Malaysia MIDA Frankfurt and various government agencies unveiled a landmark US$250 million partnership with Arm Holdings.
This collaboration marks a decisive step forward for Malaysia’s semiconductor strategy, aligning with the National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS) and broader economic transformation plans under Madani Economy and New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030).

📊 Malaysia’s Semiconductor Industry: Strengths & Challenges
💡 5th Largest Semiconductor Exporter: Malaysia accounts for 7% of global semiconductor trade, with electronics & semiconductor exports exceeding RM500 billion annually.
💡 13% of Global OSAT Market: Malaysia is a key player in the outsourced semiconductor assembly & test (OSAT) sector, hosting major global companies like Intel, Infineon, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, Broadcom, and AMD in Penang and Kulim High-Tech Park.
🌍 My Perspective: Can Malaysia Truly Build Its Own Chips?
This Malaysia x Arm collaboration is a significant step forward, but the real test lies in execution. The success of this initiative depends on:
✅ Policy Support: Government must drive incentives, funding, and tech transfer.
✅ Full Ecosystem: Move beyond OSAT to strengthen IC design, R&D, and wafer fabrication.
✅ Global Partnerships: Collaborate with TSMC, Samsung, and Intel to climb the value chain.
✅ Long-term Competitiveness: Can Malaysia produce global chip leaders or stay a supporting player?
This isn’t just about technology—it’s about shaping Malaysia’s future as a semiconductor powerhouse in the next decade.
