- Malaysia recently announced the National Semiconductor Strategy. What is needed to make this strategy successful?
Stay tuned for the video premiere with Teng Boo this Saturday (20 July) at 11am.
Mr Tan, many thanks for your kind sharing. Not sure if you have heard of Andrew Grove (Intel boss) in the 70's and what impressed him to pick Penang Bayan Lepas swamp land for his 1st factory. Dr Lim Chong Eu brought him to see the site in the morning, he complain about the swamp land. By afternoon till late at night, City Council & JKR on the instruction of Dr Lim, cleared the swamp mud by the hundreds of lorry load and replaced them with sand and gravel. Next few days, Dr Lim took Andy Grove to visit the same site again. Guess what ? Andy was thrill to bits at the transformation and the rest is history. Moral of the story, how many politicians that we know has the tenacity, courage and charisma to get that sort of things done ? Keep in mind, in the 70's none of us had a clue what is a computer ! Yet, the entire administration of Penang just follow Dr Lim's lead.
Stunning fact!! This could only happen in China, in 2024
There are reasons why Malaysia is still on the map in semi-con industries. I am a EE/CS graduate and has worked both in the semi-con and IT industry.
Stability, this industry requires high investment. Malaysia's political and legal stability is an asset.
Language, Malaysia has a strong command of both English and Chinese. The centers for semi-con today and in the past, are US and China(Taiwan).
Incentives, tax holidays and pioneer status, free trade zones.
Labour cost, both local and regional. This will get less important as time passes, automation and AI will makes this less relevant in the overall cost equation.
Infrastructure, the availability and cost of power, water, transportation is just as important.
Malaysia has ticked all these factors for decades, it has to continue the good work and policies.
If Malaysia had not screw itself with the national car policies, we would also be the regional hub for car manufacturing.
True, Mr Tan. I myself is an educator, having worked in many foreign universities, and I know a few academicians in Malaysia. From the conversations I had with the Malaysian academicians are : 1) graduates can passesd the assignments and projects through plaggarism and copying; Turnitin or other tools used to check plaggarism are not required. 2) two weeks before any exam, students are given mock exams and the same questions will come out in the exam. 3) lecturers and professors are required to meet with the HOD if too many students failed in class. 4) in private universities lecturers are given bonus for the number of students passed (unbelievable!!) 5) in some instances, a pass mark of 20% are in place. No wonder in situations like these, sure die and I would be surprised if these IT plans can have a 20% success rate.
Fortunately vitrox is setting up its own training centre to develop and train potential candidates to support their growth
Vitrox has a great vision and execution
Most of the employers are being lowballed by company.
Engineers don't get paid enough.
Companies say they can't find talented skilled workers.
What they meant is they can't find CHEAP talented workers.
yup...for sure that is what the companies mean...no doubts about it...and if Malaysian's are not willing to give & take....South East Asia is a region of oppurtunities
Are you sure ?
Intel, Infineon, Bosch etc. pay engineers above market rate.
As for local OSAT vendors, then they can pay well since they making huge profit.
Yeah this is the problem
I hope our government is seriously looking into what Mr Tan said, and also including him into the decision and strategy making in NSS and other reformation of Msian economy. To me, Mr Tan can truly contribute Msia's future.
it is the e&e, microelectronic eng or cc (comupter & communication) eng who deal with the hardware (semicon), not IT nor computer scientist.
He forgets to include Singapore being the first overseas semiconductor industry earlier than Malaysia.
As long as usd1>=MYR4 and low salary, it going be miracle. Very hard work industry
also if Malaysia has the required labor to support the industry.
currency is just a number, its fiat. what matters are purchasing power parity... 10000 won for ramyon, 20 rmb for pulled mee, 1000 yen for gyudon, 50 dirhams for a bigmac, 10 lira for a turkish tea, 10 ringgit for nasi lemak, 10 sin dollar for same nasi lemak.. get the picture?

A better microphone is needed. The sound quality needs to be improved.
Sorry the microphone made by Malaysia is still under RND😂😂😂
Actually the foreign talents unable to apply working permit is correct because malaysia government thought those foreign talents will compete with local talents. They tend to forget, majority local malaysians dont have such expertise compare foreign talents. Malaysia require foreign talents and expert to have technologies transfer to our malaysian talents. These will leapfrog our local talents.
我記得父親告訴我, 七十年代時, 新加坡有李光耀, 檳城有林蒼祐. 我們錯過了最好的時代.
so true.. we need leaders like that, now all half past six
Give PMX a chance. Too much smart alec rakyat nowadays...
Insightful analysis and sorry to say that our ministry is not working in alignment towards the target and continual of pass habits.
"We don't have enough engineers (EE,CE,CS)"
"No, we have enough engineers (EE, CE, CS, IT)"
Quantity ada... Quality tak ada. Interview banyak fresh grad, jika guna tapi mesti tutup "setengah" mata. Ada juga sampai Manual in English pun tak tahu baca. Pekerjaan HR di semi cond industry yang sangat susah sekarang.
Can the recent output of 600 PhD's in our country help in R&D of the Semicon industrry?
Most, if not all of these PhD holders are of sub-standard. Nobody wants them. This is the result of our government's pro-bumiputra, non-meritocrat policy. (I'm being nice with the choice of words here) 🤬
Permanent Head Damage???
People are saying that many are prof kangkung
We all know what is the crux of all the problems as you have analysed. But you or others cannot say explicitly!!! Just not PC, period.
The present Government has to immediately tap the best industry captains and pay this ACTION COMMITTEE to produce concrete and constructive ACTION PLANS in order to overcome the shortage of talents and develop a mentoring system in producing local and acquiring foreign talents in the upstream Value chain Services. MERITOCRACY is an absolute Play in this TALENTS CREATION, RETENTION, & DEVELOPMENT. QUICK ACTIONS are required before this SEMICONDUCTORS INDUSTRY STRATEGY paper becomes a dream instead.
Penang. Main conduit due to state efforts nothing else works ala multimedia corridor flop. Etc
The international investors are not obligated to any particular countries. They will go where there are properties to grow their business. They have no obligation to pander to the country’s national policies at the expense of the company.
How about shedding more light on this interesting 'national policies" of Malaysia ? 😊
The whole local scenario had been circumvented by our national agenda, thus depriving the national strength in education, rendering our half-baked attempt to compete with the like of Taiwan and South Korea or even Singapore. It would appear that all we can master would be trying to apply the "assembly" techniques only, unlikely to be able to go to the fore-front of any technology through research or pioneering it. Hence, in this sector, we have practically the whole ASEAN to compete with!
If our majority nation don't wake up, Msia will become foreign cheap labour in Indonesia and Thailand.....
Move on to full conductor industry.
🤣🤣
I think the quality of lecturer is also the issue
Malaysia can forget about moving up the value chain on chips after Anwar announced Malaysia’s application to join BRICS. 🇺🇸🇹🇼🇯🇵🇰🇷 aren’t fools, ok? 😂
Anwar has sacrificed 🇲🇾 E&E industry for political benefits. 🇻🇳 🇸🇬 will win the chips race in ASEAN, especially 🇻🇳. There are over 60,000 Vietnamese students in 🇹🇼 universities. Most studying E&E & already marked by major 🇹🇼 chips companies.
🇲🇾 will continue doing the low margin testing & packaging parts of the chip supply chain. 🇻🇳 may eventually have the first TSMC foundry for advanced chips in ASEAN.
By virtue, 🇻🇳 should have been ahead
All these are simply based on an assuption that China will lose out the US in chip and AI. Too risky to make this assumption. One foundary of advance chip cost USD40b. Need more comprehensive plan in geopolitics.
It is Malaysian themselves that shoot themselves - by not paying the STEM graduates their worth. So why complain?
Can one... Malaysia boleh ma😂
The world is and will bifurcate into China-US. This is actually beneficial to us. But, we must be v tactful in this game, to not show overt support to any side. In fact, we should show overt support to the americans. And covert support to the neighbourhood "da ge"...😉😉
Nope
😂😂😂😂😂
Too soft spoken, unimpressive speaker with monotone voice. BORING BORING BORING.
the content is 100% marvelous!!
@@paulpaul7777boring. Both the speaker and the content. Nothing interesting.
first slide already mistake, red colors represent local i believe
Why no investor in Pahang?. The Menteri Besar Pahang need to work harder.
Pahang strength is mining minerals and also has a decent auto, defense and chemical industry and they have Lynas that prodicr 10% of global rare earth oxides.
