Introduce an Octosap NPC and have him/her mention being a Cthulhu worshipper in casual conversation. (See Toxic Memes.) Play it off as a great big joke for a few sessions.

Then have a politico the PCs are investigating have connections to a New Agey manufactured religion. (If you're familiar with Shadowrun, I'm thinking Universal Brotherhood here.) Don't directly link it to Malaysia, and make it a background detail not directly related to the investigation. If they follow up on it, great: they're hooked. If not, they'll get more clues later.

Start having that group show up more and more. The meme is becoming popular among the upper crust, and the membership includes people of all political blocs and viewpoints.

The group's founder can be traced back to Malaysia, although his actual ancestry lies somewhere in Tibet, to the near-mythical Plateau of Leng . . .
