Thanx..

MyRedz, under the ICONApps program mentioned by sc1988 above, you can get all below, practically FOC:
- a 5 day iPhone development training worth rm3500
- MAC PC and iPod Touch worth rm3500 combined
- the USD99 Apple Developer Program registration

but first you need to:
- have a proposal for an app to develop under the program
- pay yourself all the above (except the training, you pay only rm1500) first
-- after a certain milestones, the amount you forked out will be fully reimbursed (of course if you chose to buy mac book air and iPhone 3GS or something, you will only get back max rm3500 under the 'PC and iPod Touch')

Hope this helps...

total amount needed: rm1500 (training) + rm3500 (equipments, assuming you do not have mac and ipod touch yet) + rm400++ (rm300++ actually, lets round to rm400) = rm5400.

milestone duration depends on how fast you develop.
- 1st milestone: app running without error on the amulator
- 2nd milestone: app running without error on actual device
- 3rd milestone: app got approved and on sale in iTunes Store

for more info, check with MDeC. This is MDeC's program. Not sure if they work closely with Apple Malaysia or not.
iphone@mdec.com.my, mdecdev@me.com.

other funding, you can check with MDeC. They have some attractive funding programs. Funds mind you. not loan. meaning you dont have to pay back, provided you complete the project.

yes, you get back that amount. rm5300++. and the mac (have to be mac, not pc) and iphone is yours to keep baby! and the app you develop is fully yours, no profit sharing or something like that. mostly you'll only require to put some MDeC logo in the app. not sure.

ah1, not sure if its compulsory or not... can check direct with MDeC then...
