Jetstar has a red eye departing SIN, and return from DPS around midnight, so it's actually possible to do a day trip. Hire a car/driver in advance, and do a trip in southern Bali including temples, beaches, local food, and drinks.

I added some details regarding hotels. I strongly recommend booking one in the CBD/Golden Triangle area which is closes to the Petronas Towers.
The post DO destination will be added in June and the event timeline will be added in mid May.

Guys, this is not SIN Do. It should be but it isn't. If it moves it is something entirely different than the even I started in 2002 and which has run non-stop for 14 years.
There is no other international Do with greater longevity. Make the KUL thing a side trip or in the spirit of collocated airports (JFK-LGA-EWR, etc) perhaps call it SIN Do does KUL or something but for the sake of the Do I started so long ago lets keep this as what it is.

I agree 1000%

A move to KUL given its proximity makes a world of sense, but to do that to the exclusion of SIN diminishes the event and its history. 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.

For those in favor of a SIN Do, I think nobody is against a SIN Do, but it takes volunteers to organize one.
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.

It also takes a variety of new events and experiences to keep the DO interesting and to keep new people coming and give repeat attendees a reason to return. For example, visiting SQ was a first time event in 2014, visiting SATs was a first time event in 2012, and there have been 5 different cities visited for post DOs from 2011-2015.
So if someone would like to volunteer to help wit this DO, PM me. You can implement your "armchair suggestions", otherwise I would kindly ask that you clean up your posts. A lot of consideration went into planning the change for 2016 with many repeat attendees who participate in events asked for their thoughts.

I seriously doubt the organizers of the KUL DO will be planning the post DO in SIN. But those of you who want to go to SIN should plan your own pre or post DO there. I'm sure a lot of people will go if someone steps up to plan it.

I personally have zero interest in returning to SIN, regardless of the "tradition" and "history". Those that do should probably start their own thread and go from there.
