He said this complements the National Investment Aspirations and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030’s focus on attracting high-tech and high-value investments to support global and domestic economies.
"Malaysia is an important hub for Infineon in wafer fabrication (Kulim. Kedah) and semiconductor chip packaging activities (Melaka).
"The RM28 billion that the company has invested in Malaysia to date is a testament to this,” he said in a statement on his Facebook page today.
The Prime Minister also said he had a meeting yesterday with representatives from Infineon, which has been operating in this country for 50 years (since 1973).
