Here’s How The Malaysian USB-Inventor Got In Trouble In Taiwan

The Malaysian who created the world’s first pen drive, Datuk Pua Khein Seng, was sentenced to two years jail by a court in Taiwan.

Courts say the chairman of a well-known memory chip maker had instructed his subordinates to falsify accounting transactions between 2009 and 2014.

Although USB storage devices have been researched and manufactured in Israel and USA, he came up with the first single chip USB flash memory storage device.

The investigation found that Pua – to use funds freely and reduce the financial cost of the company he set up – came up with the idea of transferring the funds to his Hong Kong subsidiary.

He is currently chairman at Phison.
