However, on this side of the causeway, Malaysians are curious over the fact that one Tan Hock Eng, the man helming the US$100 billion semiconductor giant, is actually one of their own. On Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced that Broadcom would be relocating its legal address from Singapore to the US. Following Trump's announcement, Tan was invited to the podium, where the Penangite remarked his wonder at standing at the White House. When this company was sold to Integrated Device Technology Inc, he became the latter company's chairman. In 2015, Tan merged the company with Broadcom Corp following a US$37 billion acquisition, leading to the creation of Broadcom Ltd, which manufactures products that span computer and telecommunication networking.
