EPF Malaysia

As Malaysia faces the challenges of an ageing society, we must approach the issue with a comprehensive and collaborative mindset. At today’s Budget 2025 engagement session, we heard valuable insights on the need for targeted healthcare, enhanced social protection, and better support for seniors and caregivers. EPF remains committed to advancing this agenda through our #GEARuP initiative, focusing on sustainable solutions that address these needs. We recognise the importance of partnering with other GLICs and engaging communities to build a future where ageing Malaysians can live with dignity and security. Our goal is to ensure that policies and investments are tailored to achieve meaningful, long-term impact for all. #KWSP

In the early 1990s, Malaysia experienced spectacular economic growth, with GDP growth soaring above 9% per annum. An important driver of this was substantial capital investments from foreign firms, particularly Japanese firms in Malaysia's electronics industry. A key reason for this massive foreign investment from Japan was an agreement between the United States and Japan, among others, to ease trade tensions in 1985 called the Plaza Accord agreement. The agreement led to the appreciation of the Japanese Yen relative to the United States Dollar, making it more economical for Japanese manufacturing firms to off-shore their operations which, in time, made their way to Malaysia. Nearly forty years on from the Plaza Accord agreement, Malaysia may have another such once-in-a-generation opportunity. Global geopolitical tensions with regards to trade and technology have seen an increased desire for reshoring of critical industries, particularly semiconductors. Our existing vibrant semiconductor ecosystem gives us a great opportunity to seize on this megatrend. As such, in line with the Ekonomi Madani framework by Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the NIMP2030 and the National Semiconductor Strategy by Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) and Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Khazanah seeks to spearhead efforts to deepen investments into the semiconductor industry. Aligned with our Advancing Malaysia strategy, anchored by ‘A Nation That Creates’ framework and the GEAR-uP programme, announced by the Ministry of Finance Malaysia, Khazanah organised a two-day semiconductor working visit to Penang and Kulim alongside EPF Malaysia, Permodalan Nasional Berhad, KWAP Malaysia, LEMBAGA TABUNG ANGKATAN TENTERA, and PETRONAS, supported by REFSA. Over the two days, we paid visits to better understand the stories and ambitions of Malaysian champions such as ViTrox Corporation Berhad, Inari, SkyeChip, Penang Automation Cluster Sdn Bhd (PAC) and SilTerra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. as well as long-time MNC partners in Malaysia such as OSRAM, ASE Electronics (M) Sdn Bhd and TF-AMD Penang. We also heard from companies such as AT&S, Lam Research, SJ Electronics Ltd, Intel Corporation, and Infineon Technologies, and ecosystem developers like InvestPenang, Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association, and CREST TheGreatLab Talent Development. Furthermore, in addressing the issue of talent, we had productive meetings with Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Penang Skills Development Centre and Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) exploring ways to better prepare Malaysians to ride on this once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Important milestone unlocked for the Government-Linked Enterprises Activation and Reform Program (GEAR-uP) yesterday, through a successful show of commitment presented to Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim.   A combined pledge of RM120 billion over the next five years, to boost domestic direct investments primarily in high-growth, high-value industries such as the energy transition sector, advanced manufacturing especially in the semiconductor space, investments across all life cycle of firms from start-ups, venture capital to mid-tier companies and finally to support listing of such companies.   Our six leading Government-Linked Investment Companies (GLICs) Khazanah Nasional Berhad, EPF Malaysia, Permodalan Nasional Berhad, KWAP Malaysia, LEMBAGA TABUNG ANGKATAN TENTERA and Tabung Haji each shared their targeted sectors for focused investments, as well as areas where they will synergise efforts for better impact and outcome.   This was the culmination of three roundtables backed by months of hard work to break through multiple challenges that plague large-scale efforts like this. I am highly appreciative of the leadership-driven approach, with everyone keeping our eyes on the shared purpose of nation building through realising the Ekonomi MADANI framework targets.   As Prime Minister reminded us in closing the session, the key now is in the execution. I am confident that our GLICs will lead the way in this first phase of this pioneering initiative, and demonstrate that we can achieve great things when we work together.    Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn Ashraf Radzi Hamadah Othman Abdul Rahman Ahmad Nik Amlizan Mohamed #GEARuP #EkonomiMADANI #MalaysiaMADANI #RaisetheFloor #RaisetheCeiling
