KULIM, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the opening of Infineon Technologies’s 200-milimeter silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor fabrication plant here marks a significant milestone for Kedah and Malaysia.

He said the new plant will showcase Malaysia globally in attracting investments.

‘Infineon’s decision (to invest in Malaysia) is surely for good reasons, (such as) for the infrastructure, attractive incentive and for the professional workforce discipline.

‘Their presence to invest in the world’s largest 200mm silicone power fab alone is a major selling point for us in the country,’ he said in his speech at the opening ceremony of Infineon Technologies Kulim 3 at Kulim Hi-Tech Park, here today.
