PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s technology sector is bracing for near-term challenges from tariffs and currency volatility, yet the country’s role as a critical node in the global semiconductor and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) supply chain is unlikely to diminish.
The coming rounds of development expenditure, particularly in Penang and Johor, are expected to reinforce Malaysia’s competitiveness as multinational corporations continue to expand capacity in advanced packaging, front-end semiconductor processes and value-added EMS solutions.
