Our CEO, Tan Aik Keong (AK), moderated Thematic Forum 1: Silicon Bridges (《芯向南洋，算力共生》) at the 16th Malaysia-China Entrepreneurs Conference (MCEC 2026), held at Wisma Huazong, Kuala Lumpur.
The panel covered three layers of the AI stack: chips, storage and cloud. Speakers Chong Kok Ming (SkyeChip), KK Pua (MaiStorage) and Andy Tan (Huawei Cloud Malaysia) discussed how Malaysia and China can build the semiconductor and AI data centre industry chain together.
AK moderated in both Mandarin and English, a reminder that Malaysia's place between worlds is an advantage. Key themes included moving beyond chip assembly and testing into design, storage, compute and AI applications, sovereign AI built on chips, storage and cloud working together, and the role of talent and power in the years ahead.
Thank you to the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) and EY for having us.
