We often talk about the future of technology, but rarely about the courage it takes to lead it.

Our Senior Engineer, IC Test Trainer, Mohd Faizzul Hajizie Mustapha, recently took the floor as a speaker in conjunction with the Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP) 2026 held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), Sarawak, addressing Pillar 4 of the World Engineering Congress: Engineering Leadership Building Future Leader.

Faizzul shared insights on transforming today’s talent into tomorrow’s industry leaders and highlighted SMD Semiconductor’s role in driving Sarawak’s tech landscape forward. His core message: step up with courage—the future of semiconductors is in our hands.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today! Together, let us seize the opportunities ahead as we shape Sarawak’s semiconductor future.

Masa depan teknologi bukan sekadar tentang kemajuan, tetapi juga tentang keberanian untuk menerajuinya.

Inilah yang dirungkai oleh Jurutera Kanan dan Trainer IC Design kami, Mohd Faizzul Hajizie Mustapha, apabila beliau tampil sebagai penceramah di Persekutuan Pertubuhan Kejuruteraan Asia dan Pasifik (FEIAP) 2026 baru-baru ini di Pusat Konvensyen Borneo Kuching (BCCK), Sarawak, mengupas Teras 4 Kongres Kejuruteraan Sedunia: Kepimpinan Kejuruteraan Membina Pemimpin Masa Depan.

Dalam perkongsiannya, Faizzul menekankan pemerkasaan bakat tempatan serta komitmen SMD Semiconductor mendepani kemajuan teknologi Sarawak. Peringatan penting beliau: melangkah dengan berani kerana kita yang menentukan arah tuju industri semikonduktor ini.

Setinggi-tinggi penghargaan buat semua yang meluangkan masa dan menyertai sesi kami hari ini! Bersama-sama, kita capai aspirasi dan mencorak masa depan semikonduktor Sarawak.

Beyond “thinking outside the box”—how well do you actually know what’s inside the box?

That was the core question driving SMD Semiconductor's two-day in-house training at the Mulu Conference Hall (26–27 August 2026). Guided by the powerful “Unleashing Creativity & Problem Solving Through LEGO Serious Play” methodology, our team spent two immersive days challenging conventional approaches to innovation.

From our core engineers to our non-technical members, we came together to shift our mindsets, design new ways of thinking, and build hands-on solutions to complex challenges—one brick at a time.

A huge thank you to our trainer, Mr. Christopher Raj Anthony from IK (Integrated-Knowledge) Academy, a certified LEGO Serious Play Facilitator, for pushing us to look deeper, think differently, and solve better!

Mencabar minda bagi merungkai persoalan “berfikir di luar kotak” — kerana pada masa yang sama, kita juga perlu bertanya pada diri sendiri: sejauh mana kita benar-benar mengetahui apa yang ada di dalam kotak?

Inilah cara kami di SMD untuk terus berinovasi.

Selama dua hari, kami menyertai latihan yang diterajui oleh metodologi “Unleashing Creativity & Problem Solving Through LEGO Serious Play”.

Merentasi pelbagai jabatan—daripada pasukan jurutera hingga ke staf sokongan, kami cuba memecah kotak fikiran kami menyelesaikan cabaran kompleks—melalui setiap binaan LEGO.

Terima kasih kepada En. Christopher Raj Anthony dari IK (Integrated-Knowledge) Academy, jurulatih bertauliah dari LEGO Serious Play kerana mendorong kami untuk melihat lebih dalam, berfikir secara berbeza, dan menyelesaikan masalah dengan lebih baik!
