The aim of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang NVIDIA, having surpassed Google and Amazon in market capitalization, is part of the Magnificent 7, attracting global attention to its investment trends. A significant recent investment by the company is in Malaysia. In December 2023, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang visited Malaysia and pointed out the country's potential to become a manufacturing hub in the AI sector. He also reported plans to collaborate with the country's conglomerates on building supercomputers and developing large-scale language models. This article explores why Malaysia is gaining attention in the semiconductor and AI sectors. Huang highly values Malaysia's potential With NVIDIA surpassing Google and Amazon in market capitalization, interest in the company's development and investment trends has increased. One of the recent highlights regarding NVIDIA is the expansion of its investment in Malaysia. In December 2023, during his visit to Malaysia, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated the country has the potential to become a "manufacturing hub" in the AI sector. This statement suggested an expansion of investment in Malaysia, drawing significant media attention. 20/03/2024 6:09 PM swissvillage Regarding this, Reuters reported on December 8 that NVIDIA is negotiating a partnership with the local conglomerate YTL for an AI infrastructure construction project in Malaysia, with the total investment amounting to $4.3 billion. The project involves hosting AI infrastructure, including supercomputers and cloud computing, at YTL's data center in Johor, southern Malaysia. According to YTL, the first phase is expected to be completed by mid-2024, with operations starting then. YTL, founded in Malaysia in 1955, is a conglomerate at the core of infrastructure business. It handles utilities (electricity, gas, water), high-speed rail, cement, construction, real estate, hotels, resorts, and also engages in digital technology-related businesses such as data centers and digital banking. The partnership with NVIDIA is expected to further strengthen its presence in the digital domain. YTL, which also operates a resort business in Hokkaido Niseko and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has strong ties with Japan. The operational partner in the NVIDIA collaboration project is YTL Power International, a subsidiary of YTL. YTL Power revealed plans to build Malaysia's fastest supercomputer using NVIDIA's AI chips and to develop a large-scale language model specialized in the Malay language by utilizing NVIDIA's AI cloud computing. CEO Huang stated, "Malaysia is a country with the necessary land, facilities, and power for computing infrastructure, becoming an important hub in Southeast Asia. YTL will play a significant role," highlighting the country's potential in the AI sector. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also mentioned the NVIDIA and YTL partnership on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that the investment scale would reach 20 billion Ringgit (about $4.3 billion). Intel built Malaysia's semiconductor manufacturing base Malaysia's population is about 34 million. According to IMF estimates, the country's nominal GDP is $465.5 billion, with a per capita GDP exceeding $13,000. In the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), this per capita GDP ranks third after Singapore's $91,000 and Brunei's $35,000. Malaysia, having absorbed Japanese automotive industry technology and created its own manufacturers, is a country with high manufacturing technology within ASEAN. This technological prowess is also applied to the semiconductor field, making it an important presence in the global semiconductor market supply chain. Intel laid the foundation for the country's semiconductor sector. In 1972, Intel established its first offshore assembly and testing site in Penang Island, Malaysia. Since then, it has expanded its base to the Kulim district on the opposite shore of Penang Island, investing over half a century. The cumulative investment amount exceeds $5 billion, with the momentum of investment expected to accelerate further over the next decade. In 2021, Intel announced plans to invest $7 billion in Malaysia over the next decade to upgrade its semiconductor manufacturing capacity, including establishing advanced packaging facilities and 3D chip packaging facilities. Besides Intel, various semiconductor companies have invested in Malaysia, making semiconductors a significant part of the Malaysian economy. According to ASEAN Briefing (January 26, 2024), the semiconductor industry contributes 25% to Malaysia's GDP, holding a 13% global share in semiconductor packaging, assembly, and testing services. Additionally, semiconductor exports rank sixth in the world. Entering the 1990s, the rise of South Korea's Samsung and Taiwan's TSMC diminished Malaysia's presence in the semiconductor market. However, recent intensification of US-China trade tensions has once again raised interest in Malaysia. 20/03/2024 6:09 PM swissvillage YTL Power develops one of world's best advanced supercomputers https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/savemalaysia/2024-03-19-story-h-185711851-YTL_Power_develops_one_of_world_s_best_advanced_supercomputers 20/03/2024 6:18 PM gooman Tech Fund Beating 99% of Peers Says AI Rally Is Just Starting Valuation levels still look reasonable, Tony Wang says Fund manager finds better opportunities outside of China https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-21/tech-fund-beating-99-of-peers-says-ai-rally-is-just-starting 21/03/2024 7:11 PM gooman From Zurich to London to Washington, the great inflation scare that gripped the world economy after the pandemic is suddenly no longer keeping central bankers up at night.
