IMO, both Darun and Rexis comments hit the nail on the head on this one.

It is not the IT field itself sucks, it is pervasive bad corporate cultures (and some level of old boys club mentality) that sucks in Malaysia.

What do you think of the government role in this and its "policy" towards so called 'K-economy'?
Does it help or hurt this sector?

What about the so-called "Multimedia Corridor" that was created 10 years ago?
Supposingly, it should generate interests, investments and create thousands of jobs available and make Malaysia a regional IT hub (supposingly better than Singapore or India and model of an East Asian version of Silicon Valley). What happened now?

.. So many local companies dont even bother about putting in the right process, they think its a waterfall process, but more like rojak, take requirement and hack at it with as much resource as many hours as you have and deliver.  When there are customer change request, hack at it some more, not enuff resource? hire sumore and keep hacking at it.  They are working hard but not working smart.

That's true.. reminds of my previous company in KL. Mindless cycles of Project Managers .. just remains in ever non-stop cycles of madness and mistakes. The company went out of business 3 years after I left.

Hence, I guess that's why we don't see many (or any) homebrew IT shops in Malaysia that is reknown at all. We don't have good industry leaders to keep IT staff in corporate Malaysia to be truly productive and successful.
