With the upcoming launch of the MYStartup Single-window for startups, today we explore how this will streamline startup matters and address the long-standing issue of a fragmentation and disconnect when it comes to startup support and resources from the government.



Joining us for this conversation is Norman Vanhaecke, Group CEO of the Cradle Fund.



Among other things, we’ll get into the specific features and enhancements, how the single-window initiative will streamline the startup ecosystem, and its role in optimizing funding programs and venture capital under a single platform.



We also discuss the connection between MYStartup and initiatives like the Malaysian Startup Ecosystem Roadmap 2021 – 2030 (SUPER) and the MACVAP's Malaysia Venture Capital Roadmap (MVCR), as well as dive into ambitions to have KL ranked among the top 20 global startup ecosystems by 2030 and position KL as a regional startup and digital hub.

How MYStartup’s Single-Window Aims to Streamline the Startup Ecosystem

The Cyber Security Bill 2024, passed by Malaysia's Dewan Negara in April 2024, aims to bolster the nation's cybersecurity. It requires entities managing critical national infrastructures — such as government, banking, transportation, defence, and healthcare — to adopt rigorous measures, standards, and processes to mitigate cyber threats. The legislation utilises a risk-based approach to protect against current and future technologies, including blockchain, and is crucial for safeguarding Malaysia’s vital sectors and enhancing cyber resilience. For more insights, we speak with Vicks Kanagasingam, a Business Transformation Coach and Startup Architect.

Are Businesses in Malaysia’s AI Scene Ready to Compete at a Global Stage?

In response to the rising threat of online scams and slander, the Malaysian government recently (last week) announced that it is set to introduce an AI portal designed to help the public identify and combat digital fraud. This initiative, integrating advanced AI technologies with existing platforms, aims to bolster public safety and restore trust in the digital realm.



Although it is still in its early stages, the portal is seen as necessary to ensure the public can trust the content they encounter online. If any doubts arise, the public can consult the portal for verification.



The portal is an expansion of the special segment “Biar Betul!” featured on the national public broadcast station RTM channels. In addition, it will complement the functionality of existing platforms such as SEBENARNYA.MY, under the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), and MyCheck.My, managed by the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama). This effort is expected to streamline the process for the public to easily search and verify any received information.



Today, to shed light on the feasibility of this new AI portal, we speak with CF Fong, the Executive Chairman of LGMS Berhad, and a committee member of the Cybersecurity Chapter of PIKOM.
