 The Malaysia R User Group (MyRUG) started in June 2016.
 MyRUG is a diverse group that come together to discuss anything related to
the R programming language. We aim to provide members ranging from
beginners to R professionals and experts to share and learn about R
programming and gain competency as well as share new ideas or knowledge.
 MyRUG organizes bi-monthly meet-up for all members. Meet-ups consist of
knowledge sharing talks by leading industry experts and practitioners. Besides
that, there will be demo or workshop related to the application of R.
