Electrical and electronics firms ask for higher capacity

American Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (Amcham) – Malaysian American Electronics Industry (MAEI) committee chairman Datuk Seri Wong Siew Hai(pic) said the current 30% production capacity would have implications on the supply chain. “Eventually, the principal manufacturers will source E&E products from other countries to replace our local suppliers."

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian electrical and electronics (E&E) industry has called for the government to consider allowing an increase in production capacity to 50% during the movement control order (MCO) period.

This is given the local E&E industry’s position as one of the key components of the global supply chain, servicing principal manufacturers.
