Forwarding Enquiry: Software Development

enquiries 10 years ago updated by MaGIC 10 years ago 3
Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm a Group Senior Finance in a listed company here in Malaysia. As I was given the opportunity to be in the software development team and also attended the GST Agent course conducted by Kastam, I have recently came out with an idea or concept to help public to perform some functions which I think not available in the market. Unfortunately, the software development team did not work out fine so my concept is still a concept.

Moving forward, I would patent this solution but i'm not sure whether the solution needs to be developed prior to patenting.

Also, are there members in MaGIC who is willing to develop this solution?

Thank you.

Best regards

Forwarding Enquiry: Information regarding incentives for start-up in Malaysia

MaGIC 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 2
Dear Madams or Sir,

We would be very interested in getting some information regarding the incentives grantable to start-up in Malaysia.

Indeed, reference is made to the 2015 Budget Speech given on 10th October 2014 by the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Malaysia where the following statement provides:

"To attract more expatriate entrepreneurs establish Startups in Malaysia, the paid-up capital for Startups is set at RM75,000. Eligible expatriate Startup entrepreneurs will be given Work Pass for one year."

Could you kindly provide some clarification on such statement (e.g. if this status can give access to some tax incentives) and if any implementations have occurred yet?

Thank you very much.

Forwarding Enquiry: Innovative idea of GPS & Broadband

MaGIC 10 years ago updated by TPM 10 years ago 3
I have one new innovative idea of GPS & Broadband incorporated video cam device to reduce accident on road. I am confident this device can help reduce the accident on road about 20-30%. A simple device cost about rm500-rm800/200-300USD, which incorporated into the car. This program can even incorporate with the GPS system for better community navigation experience. But, I have lack of the fund, software & technology to work out for the final device. .

On the road, each car already becomes a fragile entity that expose to much risks. Thus, we need a proper & systematic system to protect them from any threads that lead to casualty.

I have prepared the proposal for this device. But, I had no idea to propose this idea to any company. Can I get the advice from MAGIC about this? Thanks for the advice.
