RE: [HITB-Announce] REMINDER: HITB2011 - Malaysia Call for Papers Closes on the 15th

[Michael Sturtz <Michael.Sturtz () PACCAR com>]

Just a word of warning to this list about traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  There is civil unrest in Malaysia and 
the police and ruling regime are brutally repressing their own people.  They are also arbitrarily shutting down access 
to KL (Kuala Lumpur) and mass transit.  They are also blocking access to foreign embassies and consulates so if you get 
into trouble getting help may be an issue.   The last time I traveled there to visit relatives they shut down access to 
KL right after we left.  Consider your personal safety and ensure you register with your country's consulate or embassy 
prior to traveling to Malaysia.  While I doubt that the ruling class will harass foreigners traveling into Malaysia for 
a conference if they shut down road or mass transit access your trip could be disrupted or if you get stuck in a free 
and fair elections demonstration you may be inadvertently included in with the demonstrators and arrested.

Subject: [HITB-Announce] REMINDER: HITB2011 - Malaysia Call for Papers Closes on the 15th

This is a reminder that the Call for Papers for the 9th annual HITBSecConf in Malaysia is closing this Friday, 15th of 
July. The event takes place from the 10th - 13th of October at the Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur.

As always, talks that are more technical or that discuss new and never before seen attack methods are of more interest 
than a subject that has been covered several times before. Each non-resident speaker will receive accommodation for 3 
nights / 4 days and travel reimbursement up to EUR1200.00 / USD1700.00
