Vice President of MSSM 09/10

the election for the new Malaysian Students' Society of Manchester (MSSM) committee was held yesterday and i am proud to announce that i am the newly elected Vice President of MSSM. i was really happy and at the same time very shocked coz i thought my opponents especially Gray Ham got the upper hand. i had to give out a speech and after that my opponents and i had to answer questions from the members who came. it was nerve wrecking! honestly saying, i kinda screwed up the Q&A part and i basically spoke my mind.. without thinking whether it was relevant or not. well, what to do, was under pressure and that was the first time i participated in an election. usually, in school, the teacher in charge of the society/club would appoint who gets the post and all. but this was definitely a whole new different thing.

MSSM currently has about 500 registered members, but i have to say only about 100 of them are actually active in society. many of them only attend events with free food. in Manchester, there is an obvious segregation amongst Malaysians. after the Annual General Meeting yesterday, it was quite obvious that MSSM has lost the members' respect. maybe members do not see the relevance of MSSM any longer. which is why i think the main focus of our committee this year has to be about bringing the Malaysians together again under MSSM and gain their trust and respect back.

i'm just gonna work my ass off to make this society better, and hopefully the rest of the committee members feel the same way too. congratulations again to the newly elected MSSM committee 09/10. looking forward to work with all of you. to the members, we hope to gain your support.
