"This is equivalent to Malaysia's E&E exports doubling every five years, an impressive performance," said Datuk Seri Wong Siew Hai, president of the Malaysian Semiconductor Industry Association (MSIA) at a gala dinner on Monday (May 30) night here to celebrate the golden anniversary of what he described as "Malaysia's golden goose".
