Amid political instability in malaysia, khazanah had taken further step in deciding which company going to be responsible for silterra future. sale of silterra is a must. siltera has been loss making and new owner with new vision to turnaround malaysia so called baby darling. 

but prediction why dnex going to win this war? 

political environment 
-silterra is one of malaysia home grown asset.the rakyat want it to be owned by malaysian bumi. post vote budget also showed thin winning.if it falls to foreign hands, exposure towards changing new government is high 

proposal 
-losing silterra means exiting e & e industry and malaysia wont have this biz ever dream. thats mean its going to be dnex and greenpacket. however green packet stirred in complication due to litigation and their bumi status structure on acquisition silterra questionable.proposal provide by green packet also not strong as dnex.providing hub and exposing new network???focus business wafer foundry alone pon already enough. foxconn also pay high to enter into wafer foundry biz 

trackrecord 
dnex have proven track record turnaround loss making time engineering berhad. 

partner 
on proposal,DNEX outline RM1bil turnaround plan for Silterra including future contract from China arrange by partner 40% sharing as well utilised relationship with mimos.CGP proxy for the Chinese IC industry. Among its investee companies is Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.

the industry silterra is in requires constant capital upgrades, has been loss making since beginning till now, cannot create momentum among clients with better products/margins, don't expect dnex can do a time engineering on this....

malaysia is way behind the curve when it comes to such semiconductor wafer pure play.

really better to just let someone who has real capacity and capability to fully utilise and hopefully upgrade the equipment while keeping the operations running locally....at least local supporting industries can benefit more than current situation of silterra...

Wkc5657 tht is why CGP china comes into picture as partner to assist dnex piloting silterra. Referred to ‘someone who has real capacity and capability’
