Despite growing rapidly and attracting increased attentions in many developed countries, social entrepreneurship still can be considered new and in fact the activities are still at ground-level within the Malaysian context. This paper provides a review of social entrepreneurship and preliminary analysis of the current state of social entrepreneurship in Malaysia.
