Hi, @Red 'good on you' as the Aussies would say, you are doing good.
You're right in a way, with the Bill, its giving us a pretty clear message, lets not rock the boat so the 'old boys' can still get the big contracts, and innovators are not welcome! One the other hand, MDEC & other gov agancies must have spent a big budget organising Innotech Asia and "Silicon Valley Comes to Malaysia", 2 major events to encourage innovation and attract Venture Capital... Policies as stated in the Bill, would have just contradicted the effort of these 2 events... Form the above events and after talking/pitching to a few VCs, local and overseas, it really seems that innovators are more welcome in Silicon Valley... To add to to Swee Meng's point, its not just the certification, but also if you work for a CNII project. Because it is so weakly defined, almost anything can be related to CNII. Insurance as you mentioned is part of the Finance industry and has serios impact on the economy. So would economists and even if you develop SW for a Property Developer, because as I understand the Treasury views property development as a large contributor to the economy.
