  "account": "Malaysia's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation has announced a groundbreaking project to develop the nation's expertise in high-speed semiconductor packaging within two years. The Malaysia Advanced Packaging Consortium (MAPC), led by five local semiconductor companies, aims to generate higher value through collaboration compared to funding five separate firms, according to technology and semiconductor strategy expert Andrew Chan Yik Hong.\n\nChan stressed that the consortium's strength lies in each company complementing the others to build a comprehensive high-speed packaging supply chain in the country. However, he cautioned that the true test of MAPC is whether it can translate the public-private investment into locally competitive semiconductor packaging capabilities in the global market.\n\nThe program's success should be evaluated not only by the performance of the five companies but also by its impact on local value addition, high-skilled jobs, and Malaysia's position in the global semiconductor supply chain. SkyeChip Berhad, Inari Technology Sdn Bhd, FusionAP Sdn Bhd, Pentamaster Instrumentation Sdn Bhd, and NSW Automation Sdn Bhd are the five local companies involved in MAPC.",
