Latest KL situation - scroll down!!  

As an additional service, this section will post breaking news as we approach the BIG DAY.   

27th September update!!

Don't beleive any stories that you hear on CNN or any other news media about unrest in Kuala Lumpur. It is just as exagerated as last years stories about the famous haze. The Hash goes on running and the beer keeps flowing now as then.
We are gearing up to seeing you all over here in five days time!

The InterHash  '98 secretariat will move to the Merdeka Stadium  from 29th September. We will be retaining the same telephone numbers.

27th September update 

KL SITUATION 

We know  there are concerns about the situation in Malaysia following several demonstrations in the city. This is a new phenomenon. The protests are non-violent. The demonstrations you see on news media have been confined to a small section of the city and will not impact our InterHash 98 activity.  As far as the InterHash '98 secretariat is concern it is business as usual. See you soon! On! On!
