investment hub which Intel to establish their advanced semiconductor packaging plant
(approx. MYR30 billion) and the establishment of a new high-performance printed circuit
board (PCB) and integrated circuit (IC) plant by Austrian semiconductor giant AT&S
(approximately MYR8.5 billion). The number of large-scale semiconductor-related
investment projects continue to increase in Malaysia.
