"Selamat Datang" to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- the venue of One Asia Forum 2009. Kuala Lumpur, or known as "KL" is an area of 244 km sq (94 sq mi), with 2 million population. Kuala Lumpur has played host to many international sporting, political and cultural events including the 1998 Commonwealth Games and the Formula One World Championship.

ONE ASIA FORUM
One Asia Forum is a platform for young people to sit and discuss the roles of social media in development. The aim is to inspire a generation of youth with strong understanding of the internet to contribute their social media exposure for positive development and a better future for the region.
It is also a forum for discussion on how social media can bring young people from across Asia to collaborate on new social and economics projects. It provides the opportunity for them to share their thoughts and projects with their peers from other Asian countries. At the end of the day, it is our hope that this One Asia Forum will spawn new initiatives that will take Asia to a greater height – if not now, in the near future!
