Tiada rundingan ambil alih laluan AirAsia dengan kerajaan, kata Malaysia Airlines

Malaysia's Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Johari Abdul Ghani stated that the country will not allow any party to use Malaysia as a channel to bypass export controls. MITI has not initiated any investigation into the Singapore-based subsidiary of a firm accused of bypassing US sanctions to export AI chips to China. MITI Minister Johari Ghani said his ministry has not received any evidence suggesting Speedmatrix has violated Malaysian law, according to Malaysiakini.

However, he added that Malaysia will not tolerate any party using the country as a channel to bypass export controls. The government will not take hasty action against any company found to be in violation of Malaysian law. "If we receive credible evidence or a formal request from any foreign authority, we will consider it and take action in accordance with our laws and national process," he said, according to the report.

Johari was asked to comment on a report by The New York Times (NYT) regarding allegations against Speedmatrix and Megaspeed International. Megaspeed, a US chipmaker partner since 2023, is linked to Alice Huang, accused of being a Chinese spy and a central focus of the growing tension with Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang. Huang reportedly once served as the right-hand executive at Megaspeed and is reportedly still connected to the company despite leaving her position at the end of 2023.

Megaspeed reportedly purchased $4.8 billion worth of Nvidia AI chips between June 2024 and February 2026, which were exported to data centers in Malaysia and Indonesia believed to be serving customers in China. The report noted that this transfer may violate US trade sanctions if ordered by a Chinese company. The NYT reported in October 2025 that a US trade official visiting Speedmatrix's data center facility found boxes of unopened Nvidia AI chips.

The report stated that the chips are believed to be sent back to China, although no conclusive evidence was obtained at the time. Concerns were forwarded to authorities in Singapore and Malaysia.
