| description | It has been acknowledged that the government plays significant roles in the entrepreneurship development of many countries including Malaysia. This paper analyzed and summarized the roles of Malaysian government in fostering the Entrepreneurship Ecosystem of the country. The roles of ten governmental agencies that are involved in entrepreneurship development have been reviewed in relation to the six domains of entrepreneurial ecosystem; policy, finance, culture, business support and infrastructure, human capital and market. The reviews revealed that the ten agencies are fully involved in the six domains of entrepreneurial ecosystem.
