Starting a Business (Kuala Lumpur)

Hello,

I am considering a shift to KL within the next 18 months and plan to meet with a tax advisor there before Christmas. Hopefully you kind people can offer some insight and expertise before then. I presently have a business in South Asia, and did not undergo a major amount of hassle and government regulation in this particular country. Business owners, can you tell me if KL is heavy on regulations for start-ups? If you could, please give some comparison to your home country if it is anything like the Euro Zone countries, Canada or the United States.

Very much appreciated!
