Projects Approved in <strong>2011</strong><br />
A total of 129 E&E projects with investments<br />
of RM20 billion were approved in <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Of the total, 56 projects were new<br />
projects with investments of RM11.2<br />
billion while 73 were expansion/<br />
diversification projects with investments<br />
amounting to RM8.8 billion. Domestic<br />
investments amounted to RM1.3 billion<br />
(6.5%) while foreign investments totalled<br />
RM18.7 billion (93.5%). Major sources<br />
of foreign investments were from Japan,<br />
the uSA and Germany.<br />
The investments approved from<br />
Japan were mainly in the electronic<br />
components, consumer electronics<br />
and electrical products sub-sectors.<br />
<strong>Investment</strong>s from the uSA were<br />
mainly in the electronic components<br />
and industrial electronic sub-sectors,<br />
while investments from Germany were<br />
mainly in the electronic components<br />
sub-sector.<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, a total of 44 projects were<br />
approved in the electronic components<br />
sub-sector with investments of RM7.2<br />
billion. Of these, 18 were new<br />
projects with investments amounting<br />
to RM2.5 billion (34.7%) and 26<br />

This sub-sector has undergone structural<br />
changes where companies have shifted<br />
their focus to front-end processes which<br />
require more advanced research, design<br />
and development activities. It provides<br />
opportunities for local engineers to be<br />
engaged in new product development<br />
and leading edge technologies. This<br />
is in tandem with the Government’s<br />
efforts to promote sustainability and<br />
enhance cluster development within<br />
the sub-sector.<br />
This sub-sector continues to be driven<br />
by the semiconductor industry, and<br />
IC design is part of the growing<br />
segment in the value chain. The<br />
semiconductor industry is a key<br />
driving force in innovation and will<br />
accelerate the development and growth<br />
of the medical, aerospace, automotive<br />
and communication industries as<br />
well as energy efficient products or<br />
applications.
