Exclusive Documentary Screening of Against All Odds: The Rise of Silicon Penang hosted by HSBC X EUROCHAM x MSIA

On 22 August 2025, we had the privilege of gathering at Menara IQ, TRX for the second screening of this inspiring documentary, hosted once again by HSBC. Following the first screening in Penang, this KL edition brought together an equally distinguished audience of C-suites and senior management leaders, all united in celebrating Penang’s remarkable journey as a global semiconductor hub.

A heartfelt thank you to HSBC for hosting in collaboration with MSIA and EUROCHAM Malaysia, and to DEAXO Sdn. Bhd. for their generous sponsorship.

We are especially grateful to Dato’ Omar Siddiq, CEO of HSBC for his support, and to our esteemed moderator and panelists whose insights made the evening even more impactful:

Moderator: Karl Godderis, CEO of EUROCHAM Malaysia

Panelists:
- Datin Anna Baweh, Director of Government Affairs at Intel Corporation
- Mr Ino Quass, Chief Operating Officer at DEAXO Sdn. Bhd.
- ⁠Dr. Eu Poh Leng, Senior Director of External Package Innovation at NXP Semiconductors Malaysia

The conversations highlighted not only Penang’s resilience and innovation over the decades, but also the collaborative spirit that continues to strengthen Malaysia’s role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.
