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 have a User Group in Singapore and the next meetup is planned on 18th
Aug. Here is a link:
http://www.meetup.com/PUGS-Postgres-Users-Group-Singapore/events/232683291/

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
