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
number of non-Malaysians from various countries, with its membership base steadily
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 experience, encapsulating UQMSAs motto of being a home-away-fromhome. Annual or bi-annual social events like Welcoming BBQ, Mamak Night and
Outdoor Excursion act as a platform to unite our fellow Malaysians together,
alongside offering our members opportunities to fix their cravings for Malaysian
delicacies. We also have intellectual programs which provide 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.

PRESIDENT
Shawn Teoh Thuan Song
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.
VICE PRESIDENT
Fiona Fong Pui Wun
Hi peeps! I am Fiona from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, a place which does
not solely comprise of natural rainforests but concrete 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! :)
SECRETARY
Sia Chee Chuan
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 pursuing 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 socialising. 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! #nevertryneverknow
#kalautakcubamanatahu ;)
TREASURER
Leong Lin Rui
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 revolves around
brunches, travelling and shopping, hence, I'm not exactly 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 !!
Play the laughter
Pause the memories
Stop the pain
Rewind the happiness.
Hi everyone! I am
Dylan from KL and I am
currently in my 3rd
year of Mechanical
Engineering. Welcome
to UQMSA family and
hope to see you all
throughout the year!

Hi, my name is Evena. You can call me Eve, or Eevee. I am a KL girl,
and I am currently studying Psychology. I have sporadic interests in a
wide range of things, including but not limited to; design, visual arts,
reading up on random things, scouring the Internet, taking pretty
pictures of food, and going on long walks to explore pleasant places,
with a good playlist in tow. I also love a good, stimulating
conversation, so hit me up if you've got something crazy to say and
we can think about the meaning of life together, over a cup of coffee.
Wishing all members, new and returning, a wonderful journey ahead,
in what I consider to be one of the most exciting and pivotal phases
of your life. Welcome to UQMSA!
