Dearest Readers,

As the curtains rise in 2024, MUSA has launched into the new year with its first council meeting – a scene ripe for drama and revelation. So, grab your tea and biscuits, or maybe something a bit stronger, because the latest scoop from our beloved student association is too delicious to miss!

Filling the Void in MUISS

The MUISS is buzzing with anticipation as several hopefuls step up to fill more than half of its vacant positions. The battle for Interim Secretary, who originally had two contenders, is left with Aditti as the only challenger. With a comeback from the last semester’s election, Aditti successfully secured the MUISS Interim Secretary position with 10 out of 13 votes from the student council members.

For the Treasurer’s spot, it was a face-off between Karen and Shresh. The council’s verdict? Smooth sailing for Karen, who snagged the role with ease. But the real tea was in the race for Country Representative Officers (CRO). Picture this: 4 candidates, a flood of questions, and then – Wesley, the Activity Chairperson, drops a bombshell on candidate Waiz, exposing his repeated no-shows for an executive position interview. After what seemed like an eternity of debate and gasps, Iqra emerged as the victor, ready to partner up with Mustafa.

The plot thickens with the Engagement position. Izhan and Mohammed, both eyeing the role, ended up in a stalemate as neither could secure enough votes – talk about a cliffhanger!

And in a twist that we didn’t see coming, Mildred and her partner Mashrurah, who once belonged to the MONGA regime, without any rivals to challenge them, effortlessly claimed the Interim Media position with a 9 out of 13 votes. It was a good run, wasn’t it, Mashrurah?

For those keeping track, here’s the who’s who of the interim positions:

– Interim MUISS Secretary: Aditti

– Interim MUISS Treasurer: Karen

– Interim MUISS CRO: Iqra

– Interim MUISS Engagement: –

– Interim MUISS Media: Mildred and Mashrurah

To close the Interim Recruitment season, on behalf of the MONGA Team, I would like to wish you the best of luck, soldiers! You have a massive responsibility to bear!

Against the Clock

As we are running out of time, the first MSC of 2024 is intended to be continued on Thursday, 18th of January, at 8.30 PM MYT. Be there or be square!
