I live in KL, i think the government are promoting technopreneurship in a lot of ways in Malaysia, mostly concentrated in Kuala Lumpur and the big cities, however i don't really know the effectiveness of the endeavors.

There are such as: http://www.mymagic.my/, http://www.1met.org/, http://www.startupmalaysia.org/

and there's a paper about strengthening entrepreneurship in Malaysia.(http://www.mansfieldfdn.org/backup/programs/program_pdfs/ent...)

There's even hackerspace in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. http://www.hackerspacejb.org/

It is still young scene in KL, i hope it'll grow.
