KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 (Bernama) — Unlocking greater productivity within Malaysia’s industrial sectors is one of the national strategies to drive continuous economic growth and expansion. The electrical and electronics (E&E) industry in particular, has the makings to further boost the national economy.
According to the 2018 Malaysian American Electronics Industry (MAEI) Survey Report, the E&E industry has enabled Malaysia to successfully position itself into the global supply chain of electronic manufacturing services, outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing as well as in research, design and development. Representing 36.7% of Malaysia’s total exports in 2017, the industry is expected to flourish even further and by 2020, is expected to generate a gross national income impact of RM53.4 billion and create 157,000 jobs.
