KUALA LUMPUR: There is no indication that Nvidia chips have been exported from Malaysia, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
“There has not been any indication to that effect,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Madrasathul Gouthiyyah Surau in Brickfields today.
Anwar said the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry had submitted a report on the matter this morning, adding that the government would cooperate with all relevant agencies.
Asked whether Singapore or the United States had made a formal request for assistance, he said no such request had been received.
“Right now, we have not received any such request, but we will, of course, collaborate.
“Ours is a trading nation. We welcome investment, but we want to ensure that the rules are followed,” he said.
The issue follows a New York Times report on alleged activities involving Malaysian company Speedmatrix Sdn Bhd and its Singapore-based parent company, Megaspeed International.
The report said Megaspeed had bought US$4.8 billion worth of Nvidia chips between June 2024 and February 2026, which were shipped to data centres in Malaysia and Indonesia that appeared to serve customers in China.
