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

[Nahil Mahmood/MCB <nahil.mahmood () mcb com pk>]

Hi All,

I would like to second what Hafiz has said about Malaysia being safe. My colleague just returned from a wonderful 
family vacation lasting one week at Malaysia ... and he told me it was one of the safest places in the world.

Not to mention that Malaysia is one of the most popular tourist spots in the region and is considered to be very 
economical with world class facilities.

Wishing HITB team the best for the event !

Regards,

Nahil Mahmood

There's no such thing as "civil unrest" in Malaysia right now, the
recent event on 9th of July are an isolated event. Kuala Lumpur was
shutdown to public and private transportation to avoid any unwanted
damages -- people walking were allowed to go in and business were
running as usual. Try to do some research from various sources and not
just your mainstream media before posting up on mailing list saying
it's dangerous in Malaysia :)
