  "account": "Menteri Dalam Negeri Malaysia, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, divulged that police investigations into allegations that Malaysia is being used as a transit point for shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) technology from Nvidia to other countries began in April 2025. The investigation, as per the Strategic Trade Act 2010 (Act 708), also implicates other agencies including Bank Negara, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), and the Communications and Multimedia Commission.\n\nPolice, along with other agencies, are involved in this operation, according to Saifuddin, who spoke after a meeting in Madani Villages and Madani Schools in Sungai Tiram, Lekir, Beruas. The scope of the police investigation pertains to the possibility of Malaysia serving as a transit point for AI shipments to other nations, and the findings will be conveyed to MITI as the lead agency to take further action and coordinate with the complainant.\n\nRecently, the government, through MITI, confirmed the absence of strong evidence linking Nvidia AI technology to Megaspeed International Pte Ltd, based in Singapore and its subsidiary, Speedmatrix Sdn Bhd, being smuggled illegally from Malaysia. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also stated that Malaysia has not received a formal request from Singapore or the US to investigate the matter.",
