KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has hailed Malaysia’s collaboration with British multinational semiconductor company Arm Holdings as the “start of the second semiconductor wave” in the country.
Anwar today said Putrajaya’s partnership with Arm will allow it to conceive one of the most ambitious technological plans the country has ever seen – to pioneer ‘Made by Malaysia’ AI chips.
“These chips will be designed, manufactured, tested and assembled here, and sold to the rest of the world,” he said in his speech at a memorandum of understanding and contract signing ceremony at a hotel here.
“This marks a fundamental shift in our approach to semiconductors and technology that will define our future.

“The day where Malaysia embarks on the second semiconductor wave is finally here.”
Apart from offering state-of-the-art technologies that cover all parts of semiconductor design, Arm is also establishing its first Asean office in Kuala Lumpur.
Anwar added that Arm’s foray into Malaysia is in line with the country’s National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS), which was launched last year and is aimed at elevating Malaysia beyond a production hub to become a leader in high-value semiconductor activities.
