Advanced semiconductors: why the stack, not the node, sets the pace of AI

An analysis of why frontier AI compute is limited by the weakest layer of a stack spanning lithography, leading-edge logic, high-bandwidth memory, and advanced packaging, and why export controls aimed at one layer are routed around through the others.

Southeast Asia's data-centre corridor: Johor, Singapore, and the cost of overflow

A study of how Singapore's rationing of data-centre capacity pushed compute into Johor, how power, water, and export-control compliance now constrain the corridor, and whether Malaysia can host the build-out on its own terms rather than as overflow for others.
