Need help securing a meditation visa for Burma through Malaysia

I am currently in the process of trying to secure a meditation visa for Shwe Oo Min Meditation Center in Rangoon, Burma. I am living in Thailand and have plans to fly to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia at the end of this month. I already have a sponsorship letter from SOM. My problem is that I do not have a sponsorship letter from a Malaysian meditation center, as it is needed to finish the application. I hear these are rather hard to come by, being the centers do not like to issue letters to people they do not know. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get one?
I am short on time to figure this out. Wanting to buy plane tickets in a day or two. Any ideas or advise is welcome.
Thank you kindly,
Martha

Gavesini lives in SE Asia and may be able to help you with this. She hasn't been active on this WIKI in a while, but she is a good resource.

Thanks ccasey for the lead. I've looked into it, worth a try. These meditation visa are a bit tricky and challenging, but I feel confident that I secure one when I am in Kuala Lumpur. This is a time for creative diligence! Thank you again.
