Malaysian government plans to promote startups by becoming a venture capitalist

I feel you are making this up without ever having visited a startup in EU.

All EU startup hubs are local (eg the Paris startup scene). The main difference to SF is scale and crazy money.

I am from the EU and lived in several countries. Had my own company and did a good exit. Now working on another one, operating (tiny scale) in several EU cities.

Edit: never been to SF, so no idea how that is like.

Then you have seen the common market and harmonization of regulations with your own eyes. It's not perfect, but it's getting better by the day.

I have seen many people directly benefiting from EU criticizing it to no end. Very common in East and often due to some other issues (nationalism, immigration etc) and I don't think they will ever be satisfied with anything EU does.
