Fertilizer conference in Nick Leeson bolthole

My colleague Steve Mitchell attended the IFA Crossroads Asia-Pacific Conference 2009 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, on 8-10 December. He tells me that about 250 delegates attended, mostly from southeast Asia, but the hotel was not easy to get to, which is why Nick Leeson chose it as his bolthole when he had just bankrupted Barings.
