I'm sorry to hear that. However, Malaysia isn't alone in doing this. A lot of governments are pumping money into developing their own startup scenes, and the article's mentioned the other ASEAN countries that have been doing that, Singapore being the most successful one so far. And Malaysia will have to do this eventually: they're just fashionably late and playing catch up. You can see with Grab how they lost what was supposed to be a home-grown business to Singapore. Governments everywhere are also seeing how a startup scene can create jobs and absorb the surplus of highly-educated people that universities everywhere are churning out.
