Unique Opportunity to Collaborate with Policymakers
BigDomain CEO, Mr. Henry Tye, had the privilege of working directly with YB Steven Sim Chee Keong during discussions on the Gig Workers Bill (RUU Gig 2025). For Henry Tye and the team, this was an opportunity to see policymaking in action, offering insights into platform work models and SME operations while contributing practical perspectives from the digital business landscape.
In August 2025, Colla.team publicly recognized this collaboration, supporting YB Steven Sim on the Bill’s progression and highlighting ongoing support for digital freelancers and social protection initiatives through PERKESO. This milestone demonstrates how collaboration between policymakers and industry players can create frameworks that reflect the real needs of businesses and gig workers.

The Gig Workers Bill is more than just a regulatory update. It provides clear operational boundaries for SMEs and platform-based businesses. For companies adopting AI, SEO-driven growth, and enhancing digital visibility, understanding regulatory requirements is essential. Clarity in policy aids in cost planning, compliance, and scalability, enabling businesses to make strategic decisions with confidence.
For BigDomain, seeing how policy translates into day-to-day business realities highlights the importance of aligning digital strategy with government frameworks. This ensures that Malaysian SMEs can stay competitive while adopting new technologies responsibly.
The Role of Digital Leadership
Strong leadership at KUSKOP Malaysia under YB Steven Sim is critical at this juncture for Malaysia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Digital businesses need leaders who not only understand innovation but also its practical impact. Leaders who can support SMEs, cooperatives, and platform-based work, while encouraging growth in the digital economy.
Through initiatives in AI SEO, BigDomain helps Malaysian brands and SMEs increase visibility, streamline operations, and scale sustainably. When paired with thoughtful policy, these efforts can accelerate business growth and strengthen Malaysia’s digital competitiveness.
Looking Forward
YB Steven Sim’s appointment signals a positive shift for SMEs and digital enterprises alike. Policies that protect workers, clarify responsibilities, and support digital readiness are crucial for businesses aiming to compete regionally and globally.
For BigDomain and Henry Tye, being part of the conversation early has been invaluable. It has allowed us to shape industry insights and contribute practical, actionable feedback that bridges policy and real-world business impact.
