Malaysia is a major player in the semiconductor industry, accounting for 13% of global testing and packaging. It has attracted multi-billion dollar investments from leading firms in recent years, including Intel and Infineon.
Anwar said the investment being sought would be for integrated circuit design, advanced packaging and manufacturing equipment for semiconductor chips.
Malaysia also wants to establish at least 10 local companies in design and advanced packaging for semiconductor chips, with revenues between USD 210 million to USD 1 billion, Anwar said in a speech at an industry event.
The Southeast Asian country will allocate USD 5.3 billion in fiscal support to meet these targets, he added.
Anwar did not specify a timeline for the targets to be met.
