KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s burgeoning data centre industry has quickly felt the fallout of Singapore’s probe into Nvidia chips that were allegedly sent to third countries by fraudulently marking Malaysia as their final destination.
Singapore Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam revealed on March 3 that the police were investigating whether servers from US firms Dell and Supermicro containing the prized chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications ended up in unknown final destinations after being first shipped to Singapore-based companies and then exported to Malaysia.
