Come Week 8, every second counts for a Monashian. The 4th MSC commenced at its fastest time yet in 2018 – 6.15pm – and had an interesting evening over two hours. The resignation of a MUSA member, Monga’s Instagram affair, and after-hours learning spaces – bring them on. President Thush starts off with a report…

Monash Cultural Week 2018
The best way for one to become educated about the world around is to experience the world first hand, to see the different cultures and lifestyles up close. With a diverse population existing in Monash, our university is a melting pot of different cultures, each one unique in its own aspect. What differentiates one societal…
J, K, L and M of Monash
J – Jaywalking Who cares if there’s a well-built, elevator *and* escalator-equipped overhead bridge that links the main entrance to the BRT station and the shoplots of Sunway? A big part of Monash culture is a real-life simulation of Crossy Roads, where out of ‘convenience’ and pure laziness outweigh the risks of jaywalking across four…
Dance Into The Night (Denim Style)
Any decent person would know better than to tell a woman what she can or cannot wear, or whether her choice of clothing determines the odds of getting harassed. The Wom*ns Officers’ Denim Dance was not only a celebration towards that statement but also brought together a crowd indigo-loving for some good fun. The event…
Politics (for Dummies)
With the election just around the corner, the political sphere can seem overwhelming to navigate especially for first time voters. Don’t fret though! In this post, I’ll be giving a low-down on how Malaysian politics and the election works (just enough to get you started or at least maintain a conversation). Here in Malaysia, there…
C&S Review: Monash University Islamic Society
Unbeknownst to most people, every Thursday evening in the Multi Faith Center here on campus, the Monash University Islamic Society has their weekly meetings. On one particularly rainy Thursday, I decided to join the meeting to see what the club is all about. I found myself sitting in a circle surrounded by some familiar but…
MUSA Week + MUSA Forum
Over the earlier parts of Week 7, you might have noticed the small, quaint MUSA Week booth decked with pastel sticky notes. With the use of good ol’ classical conditioning, students were prompted with cookies in exchange for their feedback, complaints and suggestions written on Post-its. All queries given were meant to be brought up…
Starting Up A Conversation by MEC
“Adapt or die.” That was the concluding advice on entrepreneurship given by the CEO (or Solutionist, as he prefers to be called) of Major Drop, Lim Sheng Feixiang. Together with Danny New, the Brand Manager of Pestle and Mortar Clothing, and Chin Renyi, the co-founder of MyBurgerLab, they shared their perspectives during Starting Up A…
Routine: A Mother’s Routine
Editor’s Note: I’m not crying! You are! Artist’s Note: It’s inspired by a best friend of mine who passed away. His mum would go to the hospital and visit him almost every day before his passing, which was her routine. But like everyone else as stated in the first few pictures, waking up, getting ready…
Routine: Just Another Day
Editor’s Note: Everyone’s given 24 hours in a day, it’s really what you do that counts. Zheryew’s piece demonstrates the perfect juxtaposition of incorporating madness within mundanity, and showcases how some routines may not be so simple, after all. If you’re looking for an accompanying soundtrack, here’s my personal suggestion. Just another day. A:…
Revival: 4th IChemE Sports Day 2018
Last Saturday was a very special day for the Monash Malaysia’s IChemE club. It has been SEVEN years since the first event that brought together IChemE student chapters from universities around Malaysia. No, it wasn’t an event where a bunch of engineers sit around and design model airplanes. We have fun too! And what better…
C&S Review: Monash Performing Arts Club (MPAC)
Mondays can be a real Mon-DIE sometimes, especially when you know the week is going to come at you like a pick-up truck driven by an intoxicated person who’s going to pull a hit and run. You’re gonna be left lying in the middle of campus, trying to catch your breath while getting the life…
MBC + Maybank’s QR Tech = Cashless Bazaar
‘Wah, best-ah, got bazaar again leh.’ (Please appreciate the pun, I realise it’s a stretch but I didn’t know how else to start the article ok sue me.) Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to business (TO DEFEAT THE HUNS!). Week 6 marked the return to school for all of us…
To Teach Is To Touch A Life Forever (Educator’s Appreciation Week)
It gets almost too easy for us in this age of fast paced technology to take for granted important components in our life, one being our educators. Educators, teachers, guardians of knowledge; however you’d like to put it, they are those whom guide us, motivate us and most of enlighten us to be better, more…
Experiences of Attending a Cantonese Dialect Workshop
Hello! My name is Hans Willard and I’m a 2nd year medical student from the MBBS course in Monash University Malaysia. On the 24th of March, I attended the Cantonese Dialect Workshop organised by the MUSA representatives of the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Personally, I felt that the dialect workshop would…
