Malaysia ready to probe Speedmatrix if formal request made

Malaysia is ready to facilitate any formal request to investigate Speedmatrix Sdn Bhd, said Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, though no such request has been received yet. Johari stated the government will assist if a case is presented, following reports that Speedmatrix, a Malaysian unit of Singapore-based Megaspeed International, may have breached export restrictions linked to the Nvidia chip controversy. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned pending an investigation after admitting to an affair with a woman connected to Megaspeed. Johari has informed data centre operators about the distinction between using graphics processing units for own use and re-exporting them, noting that restrictions on re-exporting would require further examination.
