Kenanga Research tech analyst Samuel Tan's top pick for the sector is Malaysian Pacific Industries Bhd for its balanced exposure of 30% in smartphones and 33% in automotive and the fact that the firm is the richest in the tech sector with RM800mil in net cash to weather through the turbulent period.

Bursa Malaysia’s benchmark FBM KLCI was hammered to its 11-year low of 1,219.72 points on March 19, triggered by the oil price war between Saudia Arabia and Russia.
