Source: Malay MailAlso reported by New Straits Times, DIGITIMES

Malaysia’s Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) said on 13 November 2026 that it had never cleared Singapore-based Megaspeed International Pte Ltd or its Malaysian affiliate, Speedmatrix Sdn Bhd. Miti is working with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department to establish whether chips the companies imported were re-exported and whether those transactions complied with Malaysian law. Miti said Speedmatrix was a tenant at Malaysian data centres and that verification visits there were routine sector monitoring, not an endorsement or clearance.

Why it matters

Since July 2025, companies that export, re-export, tranship or transit high-performance US AI chips from or through Malaysia must first obtain a Miti permit under the Strategic Trade Act 2010.
