02:42Angeles Interactive, Independent Intel.

02:43Which is a production company.

02:44What were the discussions with him?

02:45Infineon, of course, was mentioned.

02:46He was extremely delighted that we welcomed and that Infineon have agreed to expand activities

02:52here and become a very large semiconductor enterprise.

02:56And in fact he was joking in the lightning note saying that he was in favour of a very

03:03semiconductor enterprise and in fact he was joking in a lighter note, saying that well,

03:12Ransanur, I would have wished that they expand and focus in Germany. But on a serious note,

03:21you know that it is a major activity in the industry in Germany, well known to the world

03:29and for us it is certainly a remarkable feat indeed.

03:35Earlier, Infineon Technologies Chief Executive Officer Jochen Hanebeck said the first phase

03:41of the fab, with an investment volume of 2 billion euros or 9.7 billion ringgit, will

03:47focus on the production of silicon carbide power semiconductors. Jochen said the technology

03:53increases the energy efficient of ubiquitous applications such as electric cars, solar

03:59and wind power system and AI data centers, also creating up to 4,000 jobs.

04:06After the event, Anwar and his entourage went to Siltera Sendirian Berhad to attend Budget

04:132025 dialogue session with the electric and electronic industries players. On the dialogue

04:20session, Anwar said the government welcomed all input from the industrial players in effort

04:25to improve the sector.
