This year, we’re expecting just as many conventions happening as the last, so here’s a quick breakdown of what cons are happening in Malaysia this 2017.
If you’re lazy to look through all the entries, you’ll find a short list of dates at the bottom of the next page. This list will be updated with new entries throughout the year, so if you see something without a confirmed date, don’t be disheartened!
