Monash Music Club Social Night: In the Midst of all the Noise by Harry Vangphen
It was a dark and stormy night… No, really, it was. Atmosphere was the key word here – the turbulent weather had set the stage just right for the Monash Music Club’s Social Night. It seemed as if divine intervention favored the musicians and their cause. Following their brief residency at the foyer in C&S…
C&S Week S1 2026 : Through Three Lense By : Azreen, Harry & Bryan
Did you hear? Apparently, Monash came to life. On most days, the campus moves with a certain predictability. Corridors stay quiet, stairways echo with occasional footsteps, and classrooms fill with students arriving somewhere between eager and exhausted. Some come to learn, some come to sleep and some convince themselves that waking up at 8 a.m….
IWD x HPV EVENT: Monash Welfare Society Helping Curiosity Beat Awkward Conversations by Fareesay Najeeb
A guy gripping a table and laughing nervously while a small machine sends waves of “period cramps” through his abdomen isn’t exactly what you expect to see on a regular afternoon at Monash University Malaysia. Yet that moment turned out to be one of the most effective conversations about women’s health on campus. The IWD…
February Orientation 2026: The ecstasy of a fresh start by Rohmatus Saniyah
The fresh breeze with the quiet hum of Monday morning blues decides to greet the week in the softest way possible. The welcoming session carried that unmistakable tension for the ‘first day’: hands clutching phones, sleepy eyes, conversation happening in a low, careful tone as students adjusted themselves to fluorescent lights. This semester’s cohort is…
Monash Cultural Night: A Blue-Tinted Fever Dream That Lasted Too Long by Jananee Jagadeesan
Monash Cultural Night, MUISS’s flagship event, was held on 12th October 2025, the night many international students had been anticipating all year, unfolding in the TSR Conference Hall bathed in blue. Not the calming, meditative blue of a wellness app no one opens after Week 3, but a curated, cinematic shade that made shadows linger…
Cinemusica: Experiencing Music in Motion by Reona
In the debilitating lull of overlapping assignments, the looming threat of exams and the existential dread of being a student, the cinemusica was the best experience for a temporary solution to forgetting all of those things. Walking into campus felt ordinary like any other day but walking into auditorium 2 past the crowd of excited…
Monash Ball ‘25: A Magical Night in Atlantis
The semester is finally over! And for some of us that means a nice, chill holiday before the next semester starts again or finding a job and getting ready for graduation. But before the coming future of endless possibilities begins, MUSA Activities put together one last huzzah for Monashians. A night of fun-filled activities and…
MUISS International Games Night: Spirits High (Play, Laugh, Repeat) by Khardeeja Sapora
Under the haunting glow of Halloween lights, the air buzzed with a kind of newness – fresh faces and a fresh energy in the Monash University Malaysia Sports Hall. It wasn’t gory, but there was definitely something in the air: a new kind of thrill, the kind that comes when strangers meet for the first…
October Orientation 2025: The Beat of Life by Jia Wei
Rubatosis /ru-ba-to-sis/: The unsettling awareness of your heartbeat Awkwardness, nervousness, anticipation, excitement, chaos. Tension sways in the humid air, its presence heavy as the rhythmic sound of footsteps passes through the gate. Muscles drawn tight, smile slipping at the corners, the air presses down on the lungs with the weight of life. One too many…
MOMOFI: Illuminated by the Movie Screen by Sanjana Rajagopal
The quality of film is going down. No, I am not talking about the Monash Malaysia Film Department. Movie theatres are skimping on quality screenings to save money and increase the lifespan of their equipment. Every film is a sequel or a remake or a badly colourised musical (They were…popular). One is bound to lose…
Humans of Monash: Angelica & Varsha, Keepers of the Campus Cats
In the whirlwind of assignments, lectures, and campus events, it’s easy to forget that art exists beyond galleries. But sometimes, it shows up in the everyday small acts of attention and kindness. At Monash Malaysia, two students are quietly sculpting a living masterpiece each day! One kibble-strewn feeding tray at a time. Having lived in…
Monash Cup Closing Ceremony: Transformation of Tradition by Yashven Jayabalan
Tradition is viewed– in isolation– a contradictory concept that champions the ideological burden of connoting repetition and fixity while naturally also being opposed to transformation. You seek comfort in familiarity and thus, make no effort to change circumstances in fear of familiarity dissolving, causing your safety net to disappear along with it. This is perhaps…
Humans of Monash: Ava – Blurring The Edges Of Conformality
Melodies echoed through galaxies since the dawn of time. Always watching beyond the chiming winds, the rush of seas, within memories and the nature surrounding us. It seems unthinkable to compartmentalise something intangible into tangible digestible concepts without blurring boundaries. Yet through the evolution of time, we collectively divided and trapped music into boxes labelled…
MUSA DID WHAT #8: Democratic Reasonings
Many discussions and meetings of value have taken place and we bear witness to the potentially and hopefully, most unproblematic year MUSA has had in a while. Here’s what has been discussed during the eight MSC meeting of the year. A Subang Alliance MUSA recently hosted Sunway University Student Council (SUSC) and Taylor’s University Student…
