In a recent high-level meeting, the technology giant discussed the expansion of its operations in the country, further strengthening its strategic investment base outside the United States.
Following the meeting, Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, in a Facebook post today, said: “Intel’s presence in Malaysia since 1972 mirrors the nation’s rise as a key player in the global semiconductor supply chain.”
The Malaysian government, through the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), has pledged full support for Intel’s continued growth.
“This meeting is a proof of Intel’s continued faith in Malaysia as a major investment hub outside the US,” he said.
The expansion aligns with national frameworks such as the National Investment Master Plan (NIMP 2030) and the National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS), which aim to enhance Malaysia’s industrial ecosystem in a sustainable and competitive manner.
