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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteIndia is taking a leaf from the USA. Blame everything on China.
DeleteChinese 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.
DeleteEvery 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.
ReplyDeleteWhy 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?
ReplyDeleteSingapore will always on the rise, by betting on the right horse, India.
ReplyDeleteSingapore'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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteSingapore had a head start in industrialisation but die die must sticked to the soft option of Servile Service industries!
ReplyDeleteLKY foresee the Rise of China and had our young Chinese generation studied Mandarin as their Mother Tongue in order to capitalised and linked up to China for their technologies and industries.
But the preceeding leaders ang moh sais been related and memerised by their connections as slaves to the dying what's Commonwealth thought that the present economy is good enough.
Had already missed the Golden opportunity and period!
In the end, had no choice but to have the two casinos and same Servile service industries as soft boned peasants.
Aiya, M.O.T. no eyes see sure Kaput!
Going to lose all the advantages of ports services and other industries.
Now mostly part time, ah hoc piece meals jobs.
Hawkers, Grab drivers and delivery staff.
Now trying to brainwash the blue collars jobs and wanted to train what's 1000 or 100 AI IT Professionals.
Please lah so much data screwed up with Telcos, Banks and Logistics.
Breakdowns here Breakdown there.
Pity the younger Generation.
Pitiful menial jobs have to buy skies high BTOs as our Main economy with the COEs.
