Are there any other Malaysians living in The Netherlands? I only know of myself and wengyeeleong:D
I miss asam laksa, nasi lemak, ikan bakar, nasi kandar, char kway teow and mamak stalls :/ I miss not having to take public transport. I miss the public holidays (and the open houses which go with it) , the islands and shopping. Can't wait to go back for a holiday!

Hallo there, there is a MFC and also a in NL.
These are Malaysia Friends Club (email mfcnnl@gmail.com) and the Singapore Netherlands Association (www.sna-nl.org). You can find contacts also peer fellowmen close to you per http://www.frohsz.de/ It is set up by a Malaysian girl originally from KL who resides in Germany. From this site you can find quite many people from South East Asia. By doing a query you can find Malaysians, Singaporeans, Thais etc who lives in your area. |

To my understanding MCF need more participants´ + volunteers´ interest to make this happen. There are get togethers though. Tomorrow, or should I say today (19 May) there is a Vesak day lunch (Nyonya makan) + event sight-see including a visit to the Diamond factory in Amsterdam.
Btw, there will be a Malaysian Foodfair on the 9th and 10th June (Sat & Sun) at the Hague. Think free of charge cos nothing is noted on the invite. Perhaps you want to go? If yes, let me know. I´ll send you the details. Perhaps mei would also be interested. She sounded desparate missing M´sia food. |

Ah, unfortunately, I'm in Malaysia now so I can't attend the food fair. I can however stuff myself with all kinds of Malaysian food here:D Going back in July though so more information about the Malaysian Society would be appreciated.
I live in the less popular part of The Netherlands (Gelderland) and I'd love to meet Malaysians living nearby. |

Hi Mei,
I´m not sure if there´re other M´sians living in your neighbourhood but you can contact Gerald Chan by emailing him at mfcnnl@gmail.com To my understanding Gerald come to know that there are 300 - 500 M´sians in NL when he was active in organising for bigger groups. He would have contacts for you, I believe. Good luck. |

Thanks for your reply, Maggie! I've emailed Gerald and hopefully, there is a Malaysian living nearby
 With 3-500 here, I can't be the only one in the boonies!

Oh, girl's outing? Too bad...
I'm still adjusting to the people, language and environment. It's kinda tough espcially for those who'd spent their childhood in Asia. Hopefully I will survive. If there's any activity that I might be considered, do let me know... I'm bored... |
