Asia's EVolution: From chip design to first homegrown electric vehicle, Malaysia wants a seat at global EV table
Malaysia is betting on its role as a leading exporter of semiconductor chips and a rewriting of its industrial DNA to be a force in the global EV ecosystem.
Since 2016, the company has increasingly shifted to the testing of power chips – critical components in EVs and made of advanced materials like silicon carbide and gallium nitride – to ensure their quality and reliability. CNA
Malaysia is moving ahead of other Asean states in its drive towards industrialisation. The days of old Proton buying obsolete Mitsubishi engines are over. Malaysia is starting to develop its own talents and own EV cars.
Though traditional craft and industries are equally important, just like Singapore's hawker culture, the way forward is high tech. Hawker culture will be the staple industry, jig workers will be the fall back employment. Semiconductors and EVs are where the future is moving, the competition in the first world. Real talents, not fake talents, are needed in these industries. Malaysia has another advantage, betting on the winning side, with real high tech, not fake tech.
Well done Malaysia. Malaysia Boleh!

This is the reason why India cannot make progress in semi conductors and EVs other than half past six apps and software.
The Americans are blocking all tech transfer to China. India on the other hand is blaming China for sabotaging its EV industry by not transferring technology to India. India thinks it is entitled to Chinese technology. How deluded the Indians have become.
Every country can rise. Progress is not for any country to monopolize. It is just a matter of time for poor countries to have their dreams fulfilled. Every dog has its day, and every cloud has a silver lining if they work for it. The wheel of fortune turns. We have witnessed the rise of the West, the stagnation and soon the fall. Same as empire that come and go. Same as dynasties of old.
Why don't the silly Indians go to war with China citing that China is not offering its technology to India? Sabotage? Why is this sabotage? India slippery logic?
Singapore will always on the rise, by betting on the right horse, India.
India is taking a leaf from the USA. Blame everything on China.
Singapore's clever decision is to bet on India to overtake China and America and become the world's number one superpower. If this happens, Singapore will be the big winner. Keep the fingers crossed and pray hard, very hard, think very long term.
Chinese companies better not take up the offer by the Indians of allowing Chinese investments into India again. Hope the Chinese already learnt expensive lessons from Xiaomi, BYD and others. India, like the USA, are not the only place to invest in. These two countries are toxic.
The overseas Chinese think they are smarter than the Chinese and will pour all their money into India, like a gambler on a losing streak. Just hope for the best.
