Report: Malaysia becomes the first country outside China to deploy Huawei chips (likely Ascend GPUs), servers, and DeepSeek's LLM.
Malaysia has officially launched the Strategic Artificial Intelligence (AI) Infrastructure, becoming the first in the region to activate a sovereign, full-stack artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem.
Ministry of Communications Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching said the move marks an important step in the country’s AI development, as localising large language models like DeepSeek and hosting servers domestically would enhance AI sovereignty by ensuring data is processed locally, thus safeguarding user privacy and data security.
“The special thing about this project is that the data will be stored in Malaysia, it will be managed by Malaysians, and it will be used by Malaysians as well, so this is how we can actually safeguard our AI sovereignty.
“(With this) now it’s no longer like the cloud or the data centre is overseas, but it’s now purely in Malaysia — server also in Malaysia, managed by Malaysia, and the AI agents will also be developed by Malaysians. I think this is how we can localise the AI application in Malaysia,” she said.
Teo was speaking at a press conference after officiating the launch of the Strategic AI Infrastructure: Trusted, Sovereign and Global, here today.
Teo also noted that the project marks the first deployment of Huawei’s chips and servers, along with the DeepSeek large language model, outside of China, making it a regional first.
“So this is first of the kind outside China, we are very proud, meaning that in terms of AI adoption and AI application, Malaysia indeed truly will be the leader in ASEAN, in terms of AI application and adoption,” she said.
Described as the country’s first complete national AI infrastructure, the platform is designed to empower the government, businesses and universities to leverage AI in improving services, boosting productivity and driving innovation.
At the event, Teo also launched Malaysia’s first sovereign generative AI environment, powered by the AlterMatic DT250 AI Server, which features eight high-end graphics processing units (GPUs).
The system offers 20 per cent higher performance and 30 per cent energy savings compared to industry peers, and hosts the DeepSeek open-source large language model, making it the first national-scale sovereign LLM deployed in Malaysia.
Early adopters already onboard include the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Communications, Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB), Cyberview Sdn Bhd and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).
Skyvast and Leadyo also announced a roadmap to deploy 3,000 advanced GPUs across multiple infrastructure zones by 2026, supported by a growing ecosystem of Malaysian AI delivery and integration partners.
Teo also witnessed the launch of the Malaysia-China Trusted Data Zone, the first bilateral corridor linking Cyberjaya, Malaysia, and the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Lin-gang Special Area, aimed at enabling seamless cross-border AI development through infrastructure, joint innovation platforms and digital capability integration.
The Malaysia-China Trusted Data Zone is operated by Skyvast Data on the Malaysian side and Shanghai International Data Port Co Ltd (SHIDP) on the China side, ensuring bilateral operational alignment and continuity.
When asked why Malaysia was chosen for the collaboration, Leadyo Systems Chief Executive Officer Zhang Yifeng said Malaysia offers one of the best industrial environments in the region.
“Looking at a good bilateral relationship between China and Malaysia, as well as readiness of the Malaysian market in terms of semiconductor manufacturing, in terms of the infrastructure readiness, as well as the skill sets of the talents available in Malaysia.
“That’s why companies like Leadyo Systems and even Huawei decided to select Malaysia as the first country to launch such an advanced GPU (technologies),” he said.
Meanwhile, Skyvast Data Chief Executive Officer Lim Chee Siong said the Perlis Advanced Tech Park project is progressing and is expected to be ready in the next two years.

Isu jenayah dalam talian termasuk akses ke laman-laman web perjudian, persundalan, pornografi dan seumpamanya amat membimbangkan dan memerlukan usaha penyelesaian yang menyeluruh.
Kerajaan tidak akan berkompromi dalam hal ini, demi menjamin keselamatan dalam talian buat rakyat Malaysia, khususnya kanak-kanak dan keluarga.
Namun, mengambil kira pandangan yang disampaikan melalui siri libat urus @MCMC_RASMI serta daripada khalayak umum, saya telah meminta MCMC agak tidak meneruskan pelaksanaan kaedah penghalaan pengurusan Domain Name System (DNS).
Pada masa sama, MCMC akan meneruskan siri libat urus bersama semua pemegang taruh untuk memperoleh pandangan, cadangan dan saranan bagi memastikan objektif internet yang lebih selamat dapat dicapai bersama.

Redis
Terasa nak menulis sikit akhir-akhir Ramadhan ni. Ini bukan blog, lebih kepada knowledge dump yang terlintas di fikiran saya masa tulis post ni. Kita cakap pasal basic dulu, mungkin boleh cerita bab architure bila kerajinan datang di masa depan.
Redis ni ramai orang kenal sebagai key-value store, macam NoSQL database jugak. Kegunaan dia semudah satu key dan value. Contoh, key=nasi value=kerabu. Nampak macam simple sangat, tapi apa kelebihan sampai ramai orang pakai?
Banyak kelebihan Redis ni, salah satunya adalah data tu disimpan dalam memory, bukan dalam disk seperti MySQL/PostgreSQL. Jadi nak baca data yang kita simpan tu sangatlah cepat. Dia tak ada konsep join ke apa, sebab tu kebanyakan command dia punya complexity adalah O(1).
Bila orang tau betapa cepatnya nak write dan read, maka orang mula gunakannya sebagai cache. Ada yang cache masa nak baca, contohnya jika dalam cache tak ada, baca dari database, lepas tu tulis kat Redis. Jadi, next time nak baca, kita check, dalam Redis dah ada ke belum. Kalau dah ada, tak payah lah kita pergi baca kat database yang mungkin ambil masa lebih lama. Jadi, apa-apa data retrieval yang slow, kita boleh simpan kat Redis menyebabkan request kita jadi sangatlah laju.
Bab simpan key value macam diceritakan tadi mungkin ramai yang tau. Tapi Redis ni banyak lagi kegunaan lain contohnya nak increment nombor dengan cara selamat. Rasanya semua orang belajar bab database di mana kalau kita nak update baki akaun ke apa, kemungkinan kena pakai lock dulu sebab tak nak dua tiga orang pergi update field yang sama sampai nilai akhir tu salah. Kata orang, race condition.
Ok, kita bagi contoh soalan system design. Macam mana nak buat voting count tu scalable? Jawapan ni boleh pelbagai. Tapi apa-apa jawapan yang kira on the fly kemungkinan tak scalable. Untuk yang tak tau, scalable kat sini merujuk kepada keupayaan aplikasi/sistem kita untuk handle load yang banyak serentak. Mungkin 1000 Request Per Minute, mungkin 1000 Request Per Second.
Satu cara untuk pastikan sistem kita mampu keluarkan jumlah votes yang tepat adalah dengan menggunakan Redis INCR. Command ni sendiri adalah atomic by default yang bermaksud, bila dia tengah run INCR kat key yang diberikan, tak ada proses boleh kacau. Tak bottleneck ke? Taak, sebab Redis ni sangat laju untuk siapkan arahan tu. Malah, saya sendiri gunakan fungsi ni untuk calculate API usage supaya kami boleh block users dari guna API lebih dari quota yang diberikan (ni kita cerita next time). Asas yang sama juga boleh digunakan untuk kita bina rate limiter, alah, macam CloudFlare tu yang block kalau lebih X requests within Y minutes.
Selain dari guna untuk cache, untuk increment/decrement, Redis juga boleh simpan data yang lebih complex yang juga membolehkan kita sort data tersebut. Jadi, banyaaak lagi features Redis ni. Tapi bagi saya, paling minimum kita kena tau Redis ni boleh digunakan untuk caching. Ramai jugak junior/mid developers yang saya interview tak terfikir untuk guna Redis. Tak salahkan diorang, tapi bagus untuk tau ilmu ni.
Walaubagaimanapun, jangan lah guna Redis kat semua tempat, agak-agak lah. Seperti yang selalu saya tekankan, akan ada trade offs dari segi keputusan yang kita buat. Jadi, kena faham kesan dari decision kita.
Cukuplah dulu setakat ni. Nak jugak sembang pasal TTL, eviction policy, hash commands, monitoring, single thread, cluster dan sebagainya. Tu macam kena baca balik sikit, jadi mungkin lain kali.
Selamat berbuka puasa.

Now you can run Rails and Sidekiq with simple "rails s" command in the same process.
1. Upgrade to Sidekiq 7
2. Add settings to the Puma config:

The reason so many tech companies are bloated and unprofitable is because capital was free over the last decade so the incentive to cut fat and become profitable was minimal
