Intel Malaysia Is Closing????

Since the media have give inaccurate info on Intel's latest update, ppl have been asking me and my friends "is it true intel penang is closing???" "what's this?? is it true???" and yadda yadda yadda...

Here's the thing... the details is quite confidential and I can't really publish it here... but basically, here's the thing...

Intel Malaysia is devided by two site... One in Penang, another one is in Kulim... so, in order to reduce expenditures and increase efficiency, those production site in penang is moving to kulim... so, two building in penang will be emptied... sounds like it's closing, but it's actually moving to another site... Penang will serve more in design... while Kulim will served as production site...

This site moving will of course caused the labors to move to... but not all labors are ready to move... so, some will have to face the fact that they will lose the job if they dont follow the transition... however, since they have their own worker in Kulim, some of the operators might get their contract discontinued... while the engineers either transferred to Kulim or get into another department here in Penang.

so, again, the company is not closing...
