If not mistaken, I've once seen a super Harvest moon during Chinese Mooncake Festival about 10 years ago, but I never see it again. Can somebody tell me whether is it possible to see the Full Harvest Moon in Malaysia? Where and When?

Felicity, the Moon can be seen all over the world, except for clouds. Why would you think that it could not be seen in Malaysia?
September Full Moon will occur on September 26th, 2007 in the northern hemisphere. March 21st in the southern hemisphere.

The Harvest Moon is the full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox, which occurs (in the northern hemisphere) on or about 23 September, and in the southern hemisphere on or about 21 March. Its physical characteristics - rising time, path across the sky - are similar to those of the Hunter's moon.
So yes, you could see it from any place on Earth. And the dates are different, depending on if you are north or south of the equator.
