There was a SEMEWE fibre cut however the quality of the connection was good.
General
Johari has set up a web landing site for the Malaysian collaboration. It is at http://pinger.unimas.my/pinger. It contains:

Johari recommended a future PingER workshop later this year. Hanan at UTM has agreed to take the lead. It will be 25-26 June at University of Malaya. There is a document. I have amended the schedule to replace Les by NUST person (Kahsif/Anjum?) for the second day technical sessions from NUST.
It does not appear possible to fund someone from NUST or Bebo. If this is the case, then Saqib and Johari will give the second day technical session using Kashif's presentation at UNIMAS last year. Kashif will connect remotely to provide assistance. For the NUST session on experiences on the first day, Anjum will pre-record the talk. In the case of Bebo he woud only come if he could contribute, also June is a problem for him. He would be able to participate remotely for the session on futures. Also Bebo is interested in working with students at SLAC on new visualization tools.
For attendees Anjum pointed out it would be good to get 2 representatives from each of the 20 public Malaysian universities. One participant would be from the computer division (more to do with installing and maintaining), the other from Faculty (more for the research side). It would also be good to get a non MYREN University and someone from Malaysia Telecom. Bebo will provide contacts at MIMOS and Manipal.Will Anjum and Kashif attend, they will need funding, is funding available? Les will need funding. What about Bebo? Update Hanan?
Funding/Proposals

We can go for a bigger project such as the eScience or LRGS (Long-term Research Grant Scheme) which can accommodate a larger number of people, more funding and encourage cross institutions collaboration. As for research, we need to clarify a few matters:
