(Qes Prospects and outlook)
The Group considers the recovery of the worldwide semiconductor industry be forthcoming hence the Group is cautiously optimistic on a modest improvement in the Group's performance for the next coming quarters. The Group remains optimistic on the outlook and sustained growth in artificial intelligence, smart manufacturing, automotive and electrical and electronics market segments

QES’ Chew adds, “We are a trading nation and, in my opinion, we should not get involved in the power play between these nations. The NSS will open up more FDI and DDI. In a way, we are already capitalising on the China Plus One strategy engaged by many multinational corporations. Malaysia, as well as the whole of Asean, will benefit from such a strategy.”
