Malaysia's technology sector shone brightly this week, propelled by a robust global semiconductor market recovery and a wave of investments in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The FBM Technology Index surged 3.5% cumulatively, outperforming the broader market. Among the top performers, Inari Amertron Bhd saw its share price climb 4.2%, while Malaysian Pacific Industries (MPI) Bhd soared 5.1%, leading gains in the sector.
