00:0030 server units containing AI chips worth $12.1 million were seized at a Malaysian airport.
00:06Customs officials say they discovered the equipment on October 15th,
00:10inside Kuala Lumpur International Airport's free trade zone.
00:13The shipment reportedly came from another Asian country
00:16and was supposed to be re-exported elsewhere in the region.
00:20But investigators say the servers were declared as ordinary electronic components.
00:24That declaration raised questions because moving certain advanced AI chips through Malaysia
00:29requires a trade permit.
00:31Authorities suspect the shipment may be connected to a network involved in earlier cases.
00:36They say at least five cases have been linked to the suspected network,
00:39with seizures totaling more than 100 million ringgit.
00:43A Malaysian company that helped arrange the shipment has been called in to assist the investigation.
00:48The case highlights growing scrutiny of advanced AI hardware moving across international borders.
00:54For now, investigators have not publicly identified the shipment's final destination
00:58and the allegations remain under investigation.
