Addressing the low median wage for manufacturing jobs would be the next step in developing the Electrical and Electronics sector, he added. “While improvements must be made to our science, technology, engineering and mathematics education and talent pipeline, there has to be a mindset shift to acknowledge that Malaysia is not an isolated labour market and our talent can be lured elsewhere with higher pay, like Singapore.

On the possible cost-efficient methods to scale up operations, he advised E&E players to make use of the existing local precision engineering industry. “They mostly operate under non-disclosure agreements, so their collective capability is not well known; however, they will be the backbone of forming a critical and highly resilient supply chain for the local semiconductor industry,” he said.
