The Malaysian government is considering new legislation to monitor data centre operators and track high-performance AI chips entering the country in response to growing scrutiny over possible attempts to circumvent US export restrictions on advanced semiconductors. Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said the proposed framework would require companies planning to establish data centres to declare their operators, facility locations, and the number of GPUs they intend to import.
The government aims to ensure that advanced chips subject to US export controls are used for legitimate domestic operations and not channelled to restricted markets through Malaysia.
