Glad to go to new and different.

Many flyers have visited and although the faces have changed (and some the same bless you) I think for this year, the 15th anniversary, it needs to be SIN Do and maybe amend the title to read:

"SIN Do meets KUL" or something. Rendezvous in SIN and then go ground or cheap local flight to KUL but keep the SIN component. It is the longest running international Do and perhaps the longest running full stop. Lets keep the FT tradition alive and add adventure without losing the history.

Thanks to those who have stepped up and are organizing a KUL Do in 2016. By labeling this as the "Relocated SIN Do", they are likely to get greater attendance. Throw in greater affordability and you got a party (some of the great hotel deals have already been mentioned.)

Either way, I'm grateful for anyone organizing a Do, independent of location. Having said that, personally, I would have probably not attended a SIN Do in 2016.

Who knows, maybe going forward this will turn into the SE Asia Do that moves every year.
All valid points, I'm happy with either/and/or, let's sort it out!
