Alex Liew, Chairman of PIKOM, joins us ahead of the Budget to discuss:


The current picture: How much of the data centre and semiconductor investment is flowing to local firms, jobs, and suppliers.


Last year's review: What Budget 2026's commitments have delivered so far.


The talent gap: Working towards developing 60,000 skilled engineers.
