-open a new forum, in malaysian language, dedicated to all the growers of carnivorous plants in Malaysia. Post a message in other malaysian plant forums saying that you just created this forum.
-do the same thing on facebook, again in malaysian language.
-when you're all friends, organize a meeting somewhere, possibly somewhere where there is a cp collection. A nice weekend, eating and talking all together etc.
-once it's clear which people are the most interested, enthusiastic, organizative etc, form some kind of committee. You can make a magazine sent by email, or with photocopies, collecting money with internet, organize seed banks, conservation projects, up to your fantasy and enthusiasm. It only takes a few hours a month, it's just about enjoying a passion.
-arguing is very frequent in these communities, especially at the beginning, when new equilibers need to be set and everybody wants to speak and be right. So be very patient and don't destroy or ruin the whole community, leaving just because you argue with some people. Stay there, give your help, or wait in silence, but stay there. Remember: the longer you stay, even in silence, the more you will be respected in the future and the more you won't need to stay in silence anymore .

Well, it sounds like a good idea..
