Wong also noted that the ringgit had weakened significantly against the greenback, which provides some buffer or downside support to tech companies’ earnings (who are mostly exporters).
He added that the supply chain reconfiguration as a result of the trade diversion due to the US-China trade war may be positive to selected Malaysian tech companies and boost their sales order volume.
Fund managers contacted by StarBiz opined that the sell-off in tech-related stocks on Bursa Malaysia this year may have been overdone and a rebound might be on the cards soon.

Frontken expects strong O&G business for rest of 2022 ETALING JAYA: Frontken Corp Bhd expects its oil and gas (O&G) business to be strong for the remaining months in 2022 due to increased orders from various contracts.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, the group said the contracts will be for the provision of manpower supply and also mechanical rotating equipment services and parts that the company has with the PETRONAS group of companies.
Frontken said its Taiwan semiconductor business continued to benefit from the higher demand in the semiconductor space.
“The improvement in the group’s local business was largely due to pick-up in orders for its maintenance and repair services of mechanical rotating equipment and manpower supply through its various contracts that it has with PETRONAS group of companies “Our engineering division in Singapore also saw an increase in its activities partly attributable to the improvement in the O&G industry.”
@neohts Nvm. I'll just wait for the next AGM to prompt the question of contingency planning and business continuity planning in the event it's operation in Taiwan ceased. It'll be good to know if they are to switch to serve other foundaries in Msia, S'pore, South Korea ,etc from their factory in Kulim, Kedah
