I was looking for a PG user group around KL. I know there is one in Singapore. As it happens, Chris Travers, the PG contact for Malaysia is a friend of mine. So, I asked him. He wasn't aware of one either. However, he very much appreciated the idea of founding one. I know there are lots of PG users in the area.
But is there enough demand for a user group? If you are interested, please contact me.
My idea behind this whole thing is to eventually have a regular PG conference South East Asia.
I picked it up a little late. (blame it on my travel)
We did a pgDay Asia in Singapore, last year and we would be doing another one next year.
We can do a meetup in Malaysia (register a new group or use the same one).
Let me know when you are in KL and we would liaise to see how we can host a meetup there. I can come down (and also tap on my employer's channels to promote this meetup group).
If you have already setup a meetup group, I would like to be a part of it.
I have been to PGconf.eu several times and I know from experience that it is a great opportunity to learn new stuff, meet people and also have much fun. I think esp. Malaysia is a good place for such an event. There are many people out there that could never come to PGconf.eu or similar in the US and in many other places because of their passport. Getting a visa to Malaysia is possible for almost everyone. I don't know about North Korea, but there are many Iranians around here.
About myself, I am German, currently traveling back and forth between Germany and Malaysia.
