  • The AI Infrastructure Dilemma: Getting Ready for the Era of Agentic AI

    The AI Infrastructure Dilemma: Getting Ready for the Era of Agentic AI

    As the world races to establish leadership in Artificial Intelligence (AI), governments and industries are grappling with urgent demographic and economic pressures, from aging populations to shrinking workforces and the imperative to boost productivity. In this context, the emergence of agentic AI—systems that do more than respond, but reason, plan, and take autonomous actions—represents a transformative shift with profound implications for infrastructure, innovation, and national competitiveness. Unlike traditional AI models that answer queries, agentic AI can manage extended workflows independently: booking flights, updating schedules, sending reminders, or adapting plans dynamically based on external factors. This proactive, collaborative intelligence will require significantly more compute power, not only to process individual tasks but to orchestrate reasoning, planning, and continuous adaptation across billions of simultaneous users and applications.

    The challenge extends beyond GPUs, which have traditionally dominated AI conversations for training and inference. CPUs, high-speed interconnects, memory, and networking form the backbone of modern AI infrastructure, coordinating workloads, managing data movement, and supporting real-time system orchestration. High-performance CPUs, such as AMD EPYC™ 9005 Series, are critical for running AI workloads efficiently, particularly as models evolve into more modular and distributed architectures like mixture-of-experts systems. Connectivity is equally vital: smart network interface controllers (NICs), low-latency interconnects, and scalable fabrics ensure seamless, high-throughput data flow, enabling agentic AI to operate at scale with minimal delays. The convergence of these components into heterogeneous, rack-scale systems is essential for orchestrating complex, real-time interactions between billions of AI agents.

    Openness in software, hardware, and systems design emerges as another strategic priority. Closed ecosystems risk vendor lock-in and limit flexibility at a time when agility is crucial to scale AI. Open software stacks like AMD ROCm™ enable developers and researchers to build, optimize, and deploy AI models across diverse environments, supporting popular frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow while offering portability and performance tuning. Open hardware standards, including the Open Compute Project (OCP), the Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink), and next-generation networking frameworks from the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC), provide the modularity, high-bandwidth connectivity, and interoperability needed for distributed AI systems. These open initiatives empower cloud and data center operators to build flexible, energy-efficient infrastructure capable of supporting both global AI innovation and local differentiation.

    For countries like Malaysia, embracing an open, heterogeneous AI ecosystem is not simply a technical decision—it is a strategic imperative. National competitiveness in the age of agentic AI depends on the ability to deploy scalable, high-performance infrastructure that supports complex workloads, facilitates local innovation, and ensures technological sovereignty. The upcoming release of AMD’s Helios, a next-generation rack-scale reference design, exemplifies the integration of high-performance compute, open software, and scalable architecture necessary to meet the demands of agentic AI in 2026 and beyond.

    Looking ahead, the successful adoption of agentic AI requires a holistic approach to infrastructure: CPUs and GPUs must work in tandem, high-speed networking and interconnects must provide low-latency data movement, and open software and modular rack-scale systems must enable flexibility, innovation, and interoperability. By investing in such infrastructure, Malaysia and other nations can harness the transformative power of agentic AI to drive automation, innovation, and sustainable economic growth while navigating the global AI race.

  • Racing Towards Singularity: CGS International Sets the Course for an AI-Smart, High-Value Capital Market

    Racing Towards Singularity: CGS International Sets the Course for an AI-Smart, High-Value Capital Market

    CGS International Securities Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (CGS MY) officially launched its 18th Annual Malaysia Corporate Day 2026 under the theme “Racing Towards Singularity”, convening corporate leaders, capital market participants, fund managers and government representatives to examine the structural reforms shaping Malaysia’s economic and investment future. The conference took place against the backdrop of ASEAN’s accelerating energy transition and the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), positioning the event as a key platform for dialogue on how technology and policy are reshaping capital allocation and competitiveness.

    As Malaysia enters a pivotal transition year following its ASEAN chairmanship in 2025, discussions centered on the idea of an “economic singularity” — a stage where technological advancement, particularly AI, becomes an irreversible driver of productivity and growth. With 2026 marking the execution phase of several national strategies under the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan (13MP) 2026–2030, the conference highlighted how Malaysia’s AI Nation framework is moving from policy design to real-world implementation, signaling new opportunities for investors and businesses alike.

    A keynote address titled “Racing Towards Singularity, Investing in Future Intelligence” was delivered by Yang Berbahagia (YBhg.) Tan Sri Shahril Ridza Ridzuan, Chairman of Axiata Group Berhad and Independent Non-Executive Director of CGS MY. He emphasised that AI is fundamentally redefining how value is created, with capital markets increasingly rewarding future-ready organisations that demonstrate scalable intelligence, digital resilience and long-term innovation capabilities. He also stressed that AI should be viewed as a tool to augment human potential, create new competencies and strengthen participation in a fast-evolving economy, rather than replace the workforce.

    The conference featured panel discussions and presentations covering key themes such as the Ringgit outlook, carbon tax implementation, data center development, and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS). These sessions were led by CGS MY’s award-winning research team alongside listed companies and industry experts from the technology, energy and services sectors, offering market insights into how structural reforms and sustainability initiatives are influencing investment strategies.

    CGS MY’s Chief Executive Officer, Khairi Shahrin Arief bin Baki, noted that the theme reflects not only changes in the broader economy but also CGS MY’s own transformation. He highlighted the firm’s evolution from a traditional stockbroking model into an integrated financial services provider encompassing investment banking, private wealth and asset management. Leveraging its China-ASEAN heritage and extensive regional networks, CGS MY aims to connect capital with high-growth opportunities while supporting government, corporate and retail stakeholders navigating shifts in technology, sustainability and high-value industries.

    Despite ongoing global uncertainties, CGS MY reaffirmed that Malaysia’s outlook remains supported by structural reforms, improving investment quality and a clear policy direction toward innovation-led growth. As the nation races toward economic singularity, closer collaboration between government, businesses and capital markets will be critical to translating technological progress into sustainable, long-term value creation.

Looking ahead, he noted that the firm remains committed to facilitating vital partnerships and capital flows to support Malaysia’s ambitions for a high-growth, high-value economy. Leveraging CGS MY’s unique China-ASEAN heritage, the firm is well positioned to support collaborations between Malaysian and Chinese companies across sectors such as renewable energy, artificial intelligence and digital technology, spanning government-to-government, business-to-government and retail engagements.

    In 2025 alone, CGS MY executed eight Memorandums of Understanding with public and private institutions, including collaborations with Bursa Malaysia and Shanghai-based Full goal Asset Management (HK) Ltd to facilitate the listing of foreign-underlying exchange-traded funds. The firm also continued to prioritize financial inclusion, expanding its financial literacy initiatives through innovative approaches such as gamification to better engage youths and first-time investors.

    Under Khairi’s previous role as Co-Deputy CEO, CGS MY strengthened its retail, institutional and private wealth segments through innovative, market-relevant solutions, particularly in Islamic finance and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) offerings. One of the key highlights was the launch of fractional trading on the UP app for Bursa Malaysia’s top 30 companies — a market-first initiative aimed at improving market access and investment literacy among young adults, supported by CGS International’s award-winning research team.

    As CEO, Khairi will continue to drive strategic and operational excellence with a strong emphasis on regulatory stewardship and market expansion. He added that CGS MY is entering 2026 on solid footing, supported by favorable macroeconomic conditions including Malaysia’s low exposure to global tariff risks, stable policy environments and a steady ringgit. Against this backdrop, the firm aims to capitalize quickly on emerging opportunities early in the year.

    Meanwhile, Alan, as Country Head, will lead growth across asset and wealth management, investment banking, private equity and cross-border opportunities. Drawing on his extensive investment banking experience, Alan expressed confidence in positioning Malaysia as a premier investment destination. He noted that Malaysia continues to outperform many ASEAN peers and is well placed to support regional businesses pursuing China Plus One strategies, particularly through cross-border initiatives such as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zones.

    Looking ahead, CGS MY is targeting RM3 billion in assets under management within three years, driven by growing investor participation in resilient domestic sectors and the implementation of national initiatives such as the National Energy Transition Roadmap and the New Industrial Master Plan. With China continuing to lead in technology and renewable energy sectors, CGS MY aims to connect local partners with opportunities arising from China Belt and Road 2.0 initiatives through its investment banking, asset and wealth management platforms.

  • OZORA: KEKEJAMAN BRUTAL DI BALIK KEKUASAAN JAKSEL

    OZORA: KEKEJAMAN BRUTAL DI BALIK KEKUASAAN JAKSEL

    Indonesia tidak pernah melupakan tragedi yang menimpa seorang anak muda, David Ozora, yang menjadi mangsa penganiayaan kejam sehingga mengakibatkannya koma dalam tempoh yang panjang. Insiden yang berlaku pada tahun 2023 itu bukan sekadar sebuah kes jenayah, sebaliknya menjadi simbol luka mendalam buat masyarakat, mencetuskan kemarahan awam serta membuka perbincangan besar mengenai keadilan, penyalahgunaan kuasa dan budaya berdiam diri terhadap keganasan.

    Berpaksikan kisah benar tersebut, sebuah filem bertajuk Ozora: Penganiayaan Brutal Penguasa Jaksel diterbitkan dengan membawa naratif yang lebih luas, bukan sahaja menelusuri kejadian penganiayaan itu sendiri, tetapi juga menyentuh isu ketidakseimbangan sistem perundangan, suara rakyat, serta perjalanan psikologi dan spiritual keluarga mangsa. Filem ini diarahkan oleh Umbara Brothers, iaitu Anggy Umbara dan Bounty Umbara, dan diterbitkan oleh Umbara Brothers Film dengan kerjasama VMS Studio, 786 Entertainment, Rumpi Entertainment, Makara Production, A&Z Films serta Dbay Film Factory.

    Projek ini turut menandakan kerjasama semula Anggy dan Bounty sebagai pengarah selepas sekian lama tidak mengarahkan filem bersama. Menurut Anggy Umbara, idea awal filem ini dicetuskan oleh Bounty dan sejak peringkat perancangan lagi, mereka sudah jelas dengan hala tuju penceritaan yang ingin disampaikan. “Kisah David benar-benar menggoncang Indonesia, namun ramai tidak mengetahui perjalanan psikologi dan spiritual seorang bapa yang menyaksikan anaknya menjadi mangsa perundungan oleh anak seorang pegawai negara, sehingga peluang hidupnya hanya dua peratus,” jelasnya.

    Filem ini mengangkat perjuangan Jonathan Latumahina, bapa kepada David Ozora, yang terpaksa berhadapan dengan sistem perundangan yang dilihat berat sebelah apabila pelaku penganiayaan menerima layanan istimewa hasil pengaruh dan kuasa bapanya yang merupakan pegawai kanan kerajaan. Dalam usahanya menuntut keadilan, Jonathan bukan sahaja berdepan tekanan emosi yang hebat, malah terpaksa bergantung kepada sokongan masyarakat awam yang bangkit bersolidariti menentang ketidakadilan.

    Dibintangi barisan pelakon ternama seperti Chicco Jerikho, Muzakki Ramdhan, Erdin Werdrayana, Tika Bravani, Donny Damara, Annisa Kaila dan Mathias Muchus, filem ini dijadualkan untuk tayangan di pawagam seluruh Malaysia bermula 22 Januari 2026. Anggy menegaskan bahawa karyanya itu bukan sekadar memaparkan perlakuan jenayah, sebaliknya sebuah interpretasi mendalam tentang kesan psikologi dan emosi akibat perundungan serta keganasan terhadap mangsa dan orang di sekeliling mereka.

    Naratif filem ini turut menelusuri perjalanan spiritual seorang bapa yang diuji ketika anaknya koma selama puluhan hari, serta bagaimana kekuatan dalaman dan sokongan masyarakat menjadi sebahagian daripada proses pemulihan. Chicco Jerikho, yang membawakan watak Jonathan, mengakui peranan tersebut antara yang paling mencabar sepanjang kerjayanya. “Walaupun bukan filem aksi, watak ini sarat dengan emosi dan tenaga. Kedekatan saya dengan kes sebenar menjadikannya lebih berat, dan emosi itu perlu dikawal agar kekal setia kepada realiti,” katanya.

    Sebagai sebuah karya sinematik yang berakar daripada kisah benar, Ozora: Penganiayaan Brutal Penguasa Jaksel bukan sahaja menjadi peringatan terhadap kes perundungan yang menggoncang negara, malah menyoroti kekuatan solidariti masyarakat dalam menentang ketidakadilan. Filem ini turut mengajak orang ramai memanfaatkan ruang awam dan digital sebagai medium untuk bersuara apabila berdepan penyalahgunaan kuasa, sekali gus menjadikannya sebuah karya yang relevan, berani dan menyentuh nurani.
