Background

edit

This fourth year of the user group establishment saw some big milestone achievements in their presence in Malaysia. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is still impacting almost everyone around the globe, nevertheless the user group has been able to obtain a number of achievements.

On 24 September 2020, we've launched our official LinkedIn group for the user group. On 11 January 2021, two of our editors were featured in Malaysian local newspaper. Also in the same month on 20 January 2020, one of our editor were interviewed live on Malaysia local radio station. Also in the end of January 2021, one of the English-language Wikivoyage article about a city in Malaysia (which was heavily written and expanded by one of our editor) became Destination of the Month for January 2021, the first time for such achievement made by the Malaysian user group.
