Isu Nvidia-Megaspeed: Tiada petunjuk cip AI dieksport dari Malaysia
Perdana menteri berkata Malaysia sedia kerjasama dengan semua pihak dalam siasatan isu itu.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated Malaysia has not received a formal request from Singapore or the United States regarding the Nvidia-Megaspeed issue. The country has no indication of any AI-related export from Malaysia, said Anwar when asked about the matter. Johari Abdul Ghani, the Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, has submitted a report on the issue this morning.
I will be working with all relevant agencies, he said upon meeting after Friday prayers at Madrasathul Gouthiyyah in Brickfields. As for whether Malaysia has received formal requests from Singapore or the United States to investigate the Nvidia-Megaspeed issue, Anwar stated that as of now, the country has not received any such request.
However, we are obviously working together. Malaysia is a trading nation. We utilize investment. We want to ensure regulations are followed, he added. Earlier today, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) announced it had not granted approval to Megaspeed International Pte Ltd based in Singapore or its affiliated company, Speedmatrix Sdn Bhd, in Malaysia.
According to MITI, Speedmatrix is a data center operator in Malaysia that brings in its own AI servers and equipment for operational purposes. The ministry stated it is working with the Customs Department to determine whether any AI servers have been repatriated to other countries or comply with Malaysian law. According to MITI, the import of AI servers into Malaysia currently does not require any permit or license.
However, starting July 2025, any party wishing to export, repatriate, or transfer high-performance AI servers from or through Malaysia will first need to obtain approval from MITI under the Strategic Trade Act 2010. "Providing false information to customs officials regarding such goods is also a serious offense under the Customs Act 1967," the ministry noted.
MITI stated that Malaysia will conduct its own inspection in line with national law and based on the available evidence.
