MUSA Election Info Week
Week 4 would have seemed like any other dull week if not for the “MUSA ELECTION INFO WEEK” notice posted up on the MUSA booth located in front of the foyer, which successfully captured the eyes of many passers-by. It was finally that time of year whereby respective MUSA members had to fulfill their annual…
SOB Zombie Mingle Night
Being shocked is an understatement used to describe the reactions of passersby to the sight at Monash Sports Centre. What seemed innocently like a registration booth for the School of Business’ Mingle Night was crowded with students and the undead. Yes. You read that right, zombies complete with gashes of red, the low hum of…
Politics: The Snake’s Speech
Editor’s note: Here’s the winner for our first instalment of ‘CHAOS’ on the topic of Politics! This piece has given me the same amount feelings without having the hassle to read through another YA dystopian trilogy that comes a two-part finale. THE SNAKE’S SPEECH Armed, suited, I stand by the entrance watching the herd hustling…
Politics: Nightmares From Below
Editor’s Note: Here’s a honorable mention to another one of our submissions for ‘Politics’, where Rhea waxes poetic on the aftermath of political decisions.

MOM KNOWS BEST
Editor’s note: While some pills are hard to swallow, some conversations are harder to have. As a trigger warning, this piece contains mature themes that aren’t usually explored on MONGA. However, it is a raw exposition and insight into a person’s struggle with familial, sexual, and mental relationships. We at MONGA not only encourage you…
Q, R, S of Monash
Q – Quality I’m gonna be honest and say that the letter ‘Q’ was a tough one, but eventually all that came to mind was quality. Quality seems like a cheesy word but it really does ring true in this respect. Monash provides a quality and all encompassing education with lecturers and educators all around…
Speakers Series: YB Maria Chin and Ivy Josiah
“11 years later, I’m back to still talk about sexual harassment” — Ivy Josiah There’s something quite chilling having to hear activists comment on our social climate where seemingly so much has progressed since, while so little has changed. Monash had the privilege of inviting two of the most prolific female figures to deliver speeches…
N, O, P of Monash
N – New Additions Monash is constantly innovating and improving especially in the infrastructure department. With the introduction of more study spaces, rooftop garden as well as the coming transformation of the cafeteria (finally), it seems like Monash is constantly adding new additions on campus which is awesome you know despite the construction. Coming back…
“Lengzais and Lengluis”-Filled Buddy-Buddee Night by SOE
Trust me, hit that Limbo Rock by Chubby Checker and you’re going to be shocked at how low some of these Monash Engineers can go… eerily similar to how we all avoid life responsibilities honestly. On 7th August, the School of Engineering Student Representatives and committee hosted a Buddy-Buddee night to connect over 100 junior…
Resignation of Publicity Officer, Reps to Compulsorily Attend OB and More (6th MSC Meeting)
For some, six is a ominous figure. For MUSA, it marked the beginning of their second semester. (Editor’s Note: If you have any interesting suggestions to introduce these meetings after summarising them for about five times, I would really love to hear them.) While President Thush was a no-show due to a bad gastric,…
Paint Your Campus Inclusive (In a Nutshell)
Diversity and inclusivity have become buzzwords amongst higher education institutions. In recent years, universities have been pushing to create a diverse student body, but many have yet to figure out how to make the environment inclusive. Creating an atmosphere in which all people, regardless of their skin colour, gender, sexual orientation or disability feel valued…

The second offering of the OB in 2018 was held in Avillion Admiral Cove, Port Dickson and was also the…
Count To Ten
“This is your 10th year, I want you to look good on the floor.” It was about the fiftieth time we’d heard our dance instructor, Ms. Sharon, say it. For weeks now she’d been patiently coaching us through our many routines, and she has never failed to emphasise Monash Dance Fusion Club’s milestone — our 10th…
Haunted House, That Is Monash Malaysia
Welcome home, fellow struggling Monashians! New sem, new you but same old routine of dreading to get out of bed to sit in a lecture you only have a 5-minute attention span for and trying to decide on a place for lunch knowing you’d end up eating in the school’s cafeteria anyway (Thank god for…
