Taiwan earthquake no big impact for local industry

Wong does not expect any immediate impact to factories in Malaysia due to available inventory and materials in the pipeline.

KUALA LUMPUR: A negligible impact is expected from the recent Taiwan earthquake to semiconductor players locally.

This is because the earthquake had only stopped production for a short while and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) said it would resume production, less than 24 hours after evacuating staff and halting operations following the event.
