  • ABOUT UQMSA

    The UQ Malaysian Student Association (UQMSA) is an official and non-profitable student body primarily for Malaysian students, based in the UQ St Lucia campus. Individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds including students from other universities, working adults and non-Malaysians are warmly welcomed to be part of our big family throughout the year.

    UQMSA is proud to host the largest collection of Malaysians in Queensland as well as a num-ber of non-Malaysians from various countries, with its membership base growing across the years.

    Through the promotion of Malaysian culture via fun-filled social and educational activities, UQMSA has been striving to offer members a vibrant campus-culture and community experi-ence, encapsulating UQMSAs motto of being a home-away-from-home. Annual or bi-annual social events like Welcoming BBQ, Mamak Night and Outdoor Excursion act as a plat-form to unite our fellow Malaysians together, alongside offering our members opportunities to fix their cravings for Malaysian delicacies. We also have intellectual programs which pro-vide our members with information on career, internship and volunteering opportunities.

    All in all, we aim to offer a myriad of experiences to our members throughout their stay in Brisbane, and to bring a sense of homeliness to our members.

    Vice President

    Hey guys! I'm Shawn and I am doing my 3rd year of Chemical

    Engineering. Being in Australia does make me grow fond of

    home, but UQMSA has filled up this emptiness for me. To me,

    what makes UQMSA different from other clubs in UQ is be-

    cause of the people in it. Nothing beats the sense of belonging

    and warmth of UQMSA (not to promote the club, but hey,

    that's what many others say as well ;)). Trust me, sometimes

    you might feel that you are not in Australia at all. Spread your

    wings and adventure, don't worry if you fall, cause UQMSA will

    always be there (not starting a poem here, just trying to say

    that UQMSA is a good starting point to get to know people and

    even lifelong friends)! So do join us and embark an exciting

    journey in Sunshine State! Far from home, but close to heart.

    Hi peeps! I am Fiona from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, a place

    which does not solely comprise of natural rainforests but con-

    crete jungles as well. :P Im currently in my third year of

    Bachelor of Pharmacy. Having been actively participating in

    UQMSA activities since my very first year in Brisbane, Ive

    managed to witness how the club has been thriving along

    the way, which in turn offers me a platform to grow as well.

    It is always encouraging to see how the events of the club

    are able to bring all Malaysian fellows together regardless of

    race and place of origin. We warmly welcome you to be part

    of our big family and lets continue upholding our Malaysian

    identities in this foreign land! Hopefully 2015 will be another

    productive year for UQMSA and hence another fulfilling year

    for our members. Best regards to everyone! :)

    Sia Chee Chuan

    Klang, Selangor,

    Malaysia

    2nd Year

    Mechanical Engineering

    Treasurer

    Wazzup everyone! The names Chee Chuan and I hail from

    Klang, the city in Selangor famous for its Bak Kut Teh! (I

    know this intro is pretty lame but seriously, come try it if

    you have the chance!) I am currently in my 2ndyear of pur-

    suing Mechanical Engineering at UQ. Moving on, I would

    describe myself as your average Malaysian dude who just

    somehow likes to chillax and go with the flow. Apart from

    that, I am more of an introvert who loves gaming

    (especially DotA!). Although I can be kinda quiet at times,

    its just because I need some recharge from all the social-

    ising. Wait till you talk to me and you will see what I am

    really capable of, hehe. A last word from me is to try out

    whatever activities or events UQ/Brisbane/Australia has to

    offer. Remember to not just stay in your room!

    Leong Lin Rui

    Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

    4th Year Bachelor of Economics/Arts

    Hi there, my name is Lin Rui but most people just call me Lin. I'm

    currently a fourth year student pursuing a double degree in Eco-

    nomics and Arts. So first let me just say WELCOME! Welcome to UQ

    and UQMSA. I hope you'll have a great time here in Brisvegas and

    in UQ. Secondly, i guess I should tell you a little abut myself. I'm

    from KL, born and raised there. My favourite things pretty much re-

    volves around brunches, travelling and shopping, hence, I'm not ex-

    actly the most interesting person in the world. That being said, this

    would be my fifth year in Brissie (and no, I am not very old), so I

    am pretty familiar around here. So if you are ever looking for places

    to eat or to travel, feel free to come find me for a chat! Well, that's

    about it! I know leaving home feel scary and lonely at times, so

    corny as it is, UQMSA intends to provide you a home away from

    home. So if ever you feel lonely or just need someone to talk to,

    don't hesitate to just approach me for a chat and at the same time,

    we'll go hunt for good food. I'm looking forward in meeting every-

    one of you !!

    sians, I love good food. I am sure we can all be really close

    friends. *wink* A smile is the shortest distance between

    two people. So if you see me, dont be afraid/shy to smile.

    If you have any questions/doubts, feel free to ask me and I

    will try to help you in any way I could. UQMSA is here to

    make you feel at home, so dont hesitate to talk to the

    bane and Im always up to do any other sports! [as long as it

    with you guys! Dont be shy to come and approach me cause by

    approaching people, thats how you make friends and expand

    I don't want to only being able to love it but I want to be the one who

    can actually do it and share with other people. UQMSA had given me

    eat especially laksa. :) I am very grateful that I

    get to know many good friends here. Joining

    have done in Brisbane. My life in Australia will

    Oon Chu Hean

    Penang, Malaysia

    2nd Year

    Civil Engineering

    Hey peeps! As the sponsorship convener, one of my tasks is to ensure that our

    members will have the chance to get all sorts of discounts (perk of being a uni

    student!) wherever you go, cause our sponsors are pretty much located

    throughout Brisbane. Just a friendly reminder, remember to cultivate a habit

    of showing your membership card when paying for meals. Sometimes I only

    realize the shops do offer discounts after payment, aaarrrggg... Now jumping

    to other topic, personally I enjoy playing soccer (yep aussie call it soccer

    haha), reading and watching movies during free time. I have to say UQ is

    quite an awesome uni where you get to meet lots of new faces from all over

    the world, as we have quite a high number of international students (actually

    just like other Australian unis). The thought of arriving in Brisbane for the first

    time was still like a thing of yesterday, and now look at me, I am already in

    my second year. How time flies! Remember to make full use of your time

    here, dont be afraid to meet out with other people, while joining some activi-

    ties to enrich your life! When you come to think about it, this is what uni life is

    all about. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you are pursuing. We will

    make sure to do our best to bring you the benefits and activities you will never

    experience elsewhere.

  • A few words from our previous

    President of 2013/14...

  • With a large array of delicious food to warm company, the UQ Malay-

    sian Students Association has been bringing everything from the

    unique to the wonderful to its members for as long I can remember.

    UQMSA has always been successful at bringing people together

    through its Malaysian themed food and fun loving activities. Though

    behind all the food and the events lies a club with an ambition to fos-

    ter a sense of belonging; basically a home away from home. This ob-

    jective has always been the major driving force behind everything

    UQMSA. Everything we do is with the hope that people can find some-

    thing for themselves; a support group that young Malaysians starting

    out in Brisbane could relate to. Over the years, Ive seen long lasting

    friendships and memories formed. This has certainly been the hall-

    mark of the clubs success; an even more significant milestone than

    the numerous awards the club has accumulated over the years! It is

    for our fellow Malaysians that we strive for; to encourage; to adapt

    and to grow together.

    What does UQMSA mean to you?

  • My fondest memories of the club have really revolved around

    the people that Ive met throughout my time there. It pro-

    vided a platform for me to have a fresh start here in Brisbane

    yet it gave me the familiarity that I needed when adapting in

    a foreign place. Its amazing exactly how much of a Malay-

    sian one can feel like despite being so far away from home.

    Thats what this club does for people and thats why it means

    something important to me. So if youre looking a place to go

    and people to meet, drop by to one of MSAs events and Im

    sure youll find yourself a pleasant experience to what this

    club has to offer.

    What has UQMSA offered you?

  • While closing the chapter of 2014 and keeping all the precious

    memories to your heart, let us start the new chapter of 2015

    which is going to be even more exciting!

    Part of this awesomeness will certainly be attributed to our

    PROUD SPONSORS 2015. Check out your UQMSA membership card for the services and the discounts you are

    entitled to from near 60 sponsors!
