Passport details of accompanying family members should also be provided to the organizers at the same time in order to facilitate issuance of visas. Further information is available from the local Malaysian Embassy. | | To ensure that they are properly met on arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or Kuching International Airport, participants are advised to provide advance notice (before 15 May 2008) of the name of carrier, flight number, time of arrival and other related information to the APCAS Secretary and Liaison Officer in Malaysia.
