Boost EMS sector in Sarawak

Ge-Shen Corp Bhd CEO Louis Lau says in order for the EMS sector to thrive, competent human resources with the right skills are needed.

IT is heartening to note that Sarawak’s new leadership wants to venture into high-tech industries such as semiconductors.

While this aspiration deserves a big applause, one sector that also needs attention is electronic manufacturing services (EMS), which is slightly lower down the value chain than semiconductors but an easier first step into high-tech manufacturing.
