Well, i think the income for Malaysian is usually not enough high for them to spend on IT. Most of IT hardware and software are import from other countries. If an American income got USD3000, he can spend for a Winfast 9750GX2 TDH for only around USD500. But a Malaysian need to spend for RM2000 to buy it. That is very expensive..

Somemore, a lot of local companies don't believe that IT can help their business. A lot of companies' Director think that IT department is always a wastage of company. They more prefer on their sales and production department.
