Weekly AI Briefing

SilTerra fab engineer attrition is creeping up as Penang and Kulim packaging players poach 200mm process engineers — Ping and Dagang Net workforces are stable.

Group headcount sits at 1,820 across SilTerra (Kulim fab), Ping Petroleum (Aberdeen + KL), Dagang Net (Cyberjaya), IAC (KLIA) and HQ. Voluntary attrition for SilTerra process and equipment engineers has climbed to 14.6%, with mid-tenure engineers leaving for Intel Kulim and Infineon Melaka.

A targeted band uplift for 200mm process engineers plus an accelerated MARA-DNeX Talent Scholar intake should stabilise SilTerra teams before the Emerging Tech ramp peaks in H2 FY26.
