  “The motion is to allow the killing of children?” – would you agree with it? Yes? No? Okay, now that it has captured your attention, what if I say I have a lot to specify on, things like “allowing parents to kill their children within the span of 30 days post-birth when they’re diagnosed…

“A woman is quiet and submissive, always gentle. They are like a lamb. Soft and kind, loving and sweet” This is what a girl hears every single time when we sit comfortably, or when we speak loudly, sometimes even when we breathe ………. -_- We’ve been told how to dress, how to behave, how to…

“I don’t think I’d want it to happen right now, it does not feel right”. He shrugged. “It’s fine, you will like it” he promised her. But, please I don’t want to!” she pleaded again as she tried to wriggle her hands off his. “I don’t think you understand what you want right now. You…

Do you still remember the promises made by MUSA 2017 back in 2016, during their elections? They stuffed themselves with promises and one of them was to hold a forum to engage with the student population. Talk isn’t cheap here as the first ever MUSA forum was indeed held on the 12th of April 2017…

So there I was, after being coerced by a friend of mine who happens to be  one of the founders of this event (yes this is the first one of its kind in Monash!), I bought myself a ticket for this Sadie Hawkins Dance. Looking at the card itself, I can see where this will…

Oh no, we’re halfway through the semester. To most, if not all, of us, this means that mid-semester exams are just around the corner. When that happens, there are generally two types of students – the ones who sit around and procrastinate (like myself) and the ones that are currently working super hard to excel…

Late on a Thursday night, the Monash foyer bustled with activity, with Engineering rep, Terry Lee, bellowing out roll-calls while his colleague Jun Mann efficiently registered a line of students and a small crowd milled around, dragging their trolley bags and doing some last-minute packing. At half past ten, the bus arrived, and the 37…

For glory, for honour and for bragging rights! Those were the words echoing from the emcee’s megaphone as the opening ceremony for this year’s Monash Cup began at almost half past noon on the 27th of March.

SING, a singing competition held by the Monash Music Club to find the voice of the year started with a bang!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, our very own Welfare Officer, Shaun Stanley hit a guy in the face with a dodgeball. Don’t worry, the guy’s fine. But that’s not all, our very own MUSA Monga Editor, Andrew Peter Lim also hit a guy during one of the earlier matches, though…

In its effort to reach out and establish connections with the community, Monash University Malaysia held its first ever “Open Day” of the year, inviting members of the public to join in and embrace the Monash experience, an experience like no other if I may say so. Held on the 18th of March 2017 with…

Taking a strenuous hike through the Port Dickson hinterland, this writer decided to make his way to a popular local attraction, the Cape Rachado lighthouse.
