Malaysia - encouraging IT development

There is a program that has been around for many years now called MSC (http://www.mscmalaysia.my/) which is a program that companies in certain geographic locations can get involved with. The program gives tax breaks, training incentives, and less restrictive foreign working hiring. The work permit process is even handled through different departments, to help ease the application processes. For anyone working in the IT field, or looking at jobs for companies that handle technology, it may be good to find companies in this list. They may be more willing to hire foreigners for positions. Malaysian companies are often reluctant to take in foreigners due to the extra work and cost. Even for those who have been living in country for a while, are established here, and are highly skilled, you may find difficulty with even getting an interview. Larger global companies may be easier as they often have more resources and connections for handling their internal overseas expat transfers.
