AT&S EXPANSION IN KULIM SIGNALS STRONG GLOBAL CONFIDENCE IN MALAYSIA – PM ANWAR

KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has welcomed the decision by global semiconductor manufacturer AT&S to expand its operations in Kulim, Kedah, describing it as a strong endorsement of Malaysia’s growing role as a high-value technology investment destination. Anwar said the outcome followed constructive meetings and discussions held earlier in June, which have now borne fruit with AT&S expressing its commitment to scale up its presence in the country. He said the investment is expected to further strengthen Malaysia’s semiconductor ecosystem, while creating more high-skilled job opportunities for Malaysians, particularly in engineering, advanced manufacturing, and digital technology sectors. “The confidence shown by international investors such as AT&S demonstrates that clear policies, political stability, good governance, and the government’s commitment to economic transformation are placing Malaysia firmly on the right track as a preferred destination for advanced technology investment,” he said. Anwar added that this development reflects Malaysia’s continued progress in building a strong and competitive digital economy, driven by tangible and high-impact investments that support long-term national growth. He said the expansion also reinforces mutual trust between Malaysia and global investors, while positioning the country as a key regional hub for next-generation semiconductor development and innovation. -- MINUTESMY -- SOURCE: FB ANWAR IBRAHIM
