14-17 December 2009
Seri Pacific Hotel
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

This is the 9th edition of IEEE ComSoc Malaysia conference on Communications, held every odd numbered years,

since 1993. This year it will be held in the vibrant capital city of Kuala Lumpur, a city which epitomises

the popular catch phrase, "Malaysia Truly Asia", a salad bowl of sorts, where communities of varying origins

live together in true harmony, embodying the variety of culture that is Asia.
