Intel to invest additional US$208 million in Malaysia

Malaysia’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing received another major boost this week.

On 2 December, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that Intel will be investing an additional RM860 million (US$208 million) to expand its assembly and testing operations in Malaysia. This new commitment reinforces Malaysia’s role in the global semiconductor supply chain at a time when demand for high-value manufacturing continues to accelerate.

Intel is one of AMCHAM’s long-standing Gold-tier members, and its commitment to the Chamber is further reflected through the leadership of AK Chong, Vice President of Foundry Technology and Manufacturing at Intel Corporation and Managing Director of Intel Malaysia, who serves on AMCHAM’s Board of Governors. Her presence on the Board underscores Intel’s deep and continued engagement with both AMCHAM and the wider U.S. business community in Malaysia.

Prime Minister Anwar noted that the announcement follows his recent meeting with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, underscoring that global companies continue to view Malaysia as a strategic investment destination. This latest expansion further demonstrates the confidence U.S. investors have in Malaysia’s talent, capabilities, and long-term competitiveness.
