Malaysia Races To Become Global Tech Hub: From Semiconductors To Data Centres | CNA Correspondent

[@Jakabokbotch2nd]

IMO...While West Peninsular Malaysia is rapidly advancing as a tech hub, the East Peninsular and Borneo could focus&invest on sectors like renewable green technology, agriculture tech, digital economy and infrastructure development. Inclusively, i do think with proper strategy, the entire nation could benefit from the tech boom promoting more balanced regional development

[@askarsepoi]

with a huge land areas, why don't invest for mass agriculture productivities. The whole world even Malaysia still faces shortage of food supplies and productivities. Let the peninsular become as chip exporter, but east Malaysia must grab opportunities as food and agricultures exporters. Even may become competitor of Thailand and Vietnam as Durian and Rice Exporters.

[@Jakabokbotch2nd]

@@askarsepoi why not Agri-tech? precision farming, smart irrigation systems and the use of AI to optimize yields. This intersection innovation potentially to solve local&global food shortages

[@abuzarrin9079]

Agree with the agro tech and infrastructure development. Should not just focus on Klang Valley or Penang, better to make use of the entire nation with respective roles.

[@greekyougurts]

It would be great if Borneo can develop in Agri-technology and process more natural resources in Borneo, instead of just exporting the raw material. To reduce the commodity price and high delivery fee, Borneo must produce goods that can be shipped to overseas and also the west Malaysia, so that Borneo people no longer suffer by the high prices

[@fuchong1216]

Please note, Sarawak has wafer fab for a very long time. Xfab in Kuching has been doing very well over the past years. Sarawak has abundant after and hydro power, it is in a great position to leverage its advantage. Agriculture is importantly but not over reliance on it. If we look at the amount of money generated per acre of land, industry generates far more. Over redundant on agriculture will cause enormous deforestation. The state is on the right path to get its own control on education. Short of good education, Malaysia will always be on the supporting role.

This will set the flat prices down since private developers need to compete with the government. Be aware that this is funded through tax money, so you will need to increase your taxes (most notably income tax). Something to think about if Malaysia is ready to have high taxes.

It is a very strange decision to set up most data centers that are massive consumers of water and electricity in the state of Johor that is traditionally lacking in water and electricity. It is as if the intended employees will be Singaporeans.

silently developing tensions in South China sea gives a lot better economical position to Malaysia. and Malaysia might have overcome Singapore's strategic location. Malaysia would be growing but it has to perform better than Taiwan. Malaysia would have got the sufficient potential prospect for the industry in the Video. China semiconductor industries should be alert.

Yep, failed or white elephant projects such as MSC, Cyberjaya, Melaka Gateway, to name a few. Malaysians must have suffered for so long that a few percent in exchange rate gain and spillover demand from Singapore can set them jumping with such elation. As long as the country is not governed in the interests of all Malaysians, don’t think they would amount to much, perhaps at best a big hinterland supplying water, food and labour to Singapore.
