I've been working in electronic industries all my adult life. I can say with absolute certainty we are on track be an advanced electronic manufacturing country, however the wages certainly wouldn't be as advanced 😂😂.
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
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.
@@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
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.
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
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.

Singapore has to wake up expensive land, manpower, high utilities charges, limited land, and water supply. The cost of living is extremely expensive in Singapore, crazy overpriced property prices, and a limited number of STEM professionals. What is more worrying is that the multi national chips technology companies might lure top talents from Singapore, especially in AI technology. Soon, 1 sgd can only exchange for 2 ringgits.
Singapore might see an outflow of STEM professionals from Singapore to Malaysia. Malaysians holding Singapore PR received Singapore scholarships, and work skills training in Singapore will return to Malaysia. A great loss for Singapore.
if you have children who are in secondary school, expose them to courses involving digital tech, Ai, data centers. so that they can make a career choice in the future by making IT tech or Ai as a career. this industry will generate very good income for them. malaysia is now heading in that direction..
Like Singapore or do you think that Malaysia can do better? The two things you mentioned are opposite of each other if you only consider market forces.
@@hitthedeck4115 Not like Singapore where its getting to be unaffordable...most expensive city in the world Malaysia must make it affordable for talents to live comfortably Even now the tagline for KL is affordable luxury... where tourists can afford to stay in 5 star hotels given their favourable exchange rate Cheaper private school, cheaper university fees, cheaper foreign maid...things like that Even now I think Singaporeans are thinking of staying in JB as they can't afford the rental in Singapore. There is no longer job security. You must make hay while the sun shines and quickly make your stash. So you need to save up more and quickly build up your passive income stream. More like you can so that in Malaysia rather than Singapore.
@@hasnanhashim4386 It's easier said than done since you want to go against market forces (in theory it's pretty much impossible). At least you can learn from Austria in providing affordable housing, that you build affordable high density flats right in the middle of the cities through government initiatives. 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.

Philippines and malaysia are quits of curruption, asean practices. Haha but Philippines manufacturing are growing rapidly. Philippines manufacturing are top earners in the world.
In fact , some IT engineers in Malaysia are getting very high pay now . We are talking about USD5k and above and you can really enjoy a luxury life with that kind of income in Malaysia .
Good to hear they are investing in technology. While other countries like Philippines is still struggling with corruption and political dynasties, Malaysia is starting to become a power tech in asia. 👏

@@400malaya where did you get your news ? From PAS mosque ? Since Anwar enter office, Malaysia become the most visited SEA country, attracting over 100 billion in investment, subsidizing workforce training and introducing programs to help people (you probably didn't search for it that's why), under Anwar he also increase wages for civil servants as long as they increase their hard work. Besides that, there are many things that DSAI have achieved that Mahathir and the previous two babi during lockdown couldn't achieve. Now, tell me why you think Anwar didn't do his job ? I understand he can't achieve everything all at once and he have flaws too.
Its took decades for the previous gov to prepare skills, talents and industries to convince the investors. It's doesn't happen in overnight (2 years or something).
@@400malayaya right, some joker banning undersea fibre optic repair just before change of government? Under Najib, everyone lives in fear of telling the truth? Talents of Malaysia leaving is a fact. Decades of power suppression leads to understanding of essential self dependence rather than government.
The government needs to give special incentives to the related majors in the higher education, namely solid state physics, applied physics, and electronic engineering in the form of research grants.

You are too optimistic. Taiwan, South Korea, China, Japan and other countries are making every effort to develop the semiconductor industry. It may be quite difficult for Malaysia to dominate the world.
11:40 To achieve its ambition to become a technological powerhouse, Malaysia must abolish the race-based quota system for admission of all STEM majors in public universities.
@@mansoimanmansoi they are very well aware it's already abolished 2 decades ago, but keep playing victim & manipulating on this matter for the sake of political mileage.
The Malaysian government should focus on attracting overseas Malaysian talent, particularly those in Australia, given the current economic downturn there. This could help address skill shortages and contribute to the nation's development.
Politicians create trade wars, embargo and tariffs. Businesses want to do business ans make money. Both the US and China see Malaysia as a backdoor to avoid trade wars. Malaysia is more than willing to oblige.
Inaccurate, to bring in investors took a long time, it stopped during the pandemic and continued after that, foreign investors returned starting with Tesla's move before Anwar came to power
@@myazleoful Half true. They can choose not to come to Malaysia. But because of latest policies by Anwar's government ( NIMP, NTER, Madani Economic Framework) plus political stability, these convinced them to continue with the decision to invest in Malaysia.
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.
As long as the Malaysian politicians and administration do not adopt and practice the basics of and the basis for rapid unmatched unrivalled and unbeatable socio economic development it is better we take recognizance of ourselves or else forget about everything.
Japan and South Korea routinely go to many top SEA universities to recruit students and/or talents/workers. Malaysia can try that approach. If you can't match Japan/SK in salary or quality of higher education, you are basically next door to your neighbors so it should be much easier for SEA people to relocate to Malaysia.
Rain is a lot but strangely water is a very scarce resource in Malaysia. Many Malaysians do not have enough clean water to use. If these industries come in, the people will have an even more serious water shortage.
Malaysia needs a better government education policy. A lot of graduates can’t even speak English well. Only Sarawak allows its schools to teach science and math in English. The government should allow the states or schools to decide. Thailand, Vietnam etc are already teaching English as a school subject.
Well well...and the Chinese,Japanese , the Germans, Taiwanese are better English speakers. They are the best ..can beat even the Aussies, Singaporean, English...etc...
Since when was English not taught as a subject in Malaysia? Where are you from? Most Malaysians can speak English, and we are among the top English-speaking countries in Southeast Asia, just behind Singapore and the Philippines
Malaysia can attract talent if it gives a tax holiday or continues remittance basis tax policy. There are many capable entrepreneurs and digital nomads and engineers who would love to settle in Malaysia but a tax holiday is required.
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.
the brain drain (which has been happening for decades) is why Malaysia will continue to have shortage in skilled labour. the brain drain is even worse if we are talking about the top 1%. having worked overseas for most of my career, i can confidently say EVERY talent will move to a higher income country if given the opportunity, because who doesn't want to create a better future for their family.
