Last Sunday, 25th of September the annual Aidil Fitri celebration was held at the Multi-Faith Centre, University of Toronto. This was a very big event, with collaboration of MASAT along with Canada Malay Association (CMA) and Malaysians at McMaster (MyMAC). Not to mention Malaysians at Trent University (MySAT).
There were nearly 200 attendees with people coming from Brampton, Hamilton and Peterborough. Besides that, the High Commissioner, the Honorable Datin Hayati came from Ottawa be in this event.
Lots of traditional foods were served including Rendang, Ketupat, Kuah Lodeh and all the delicious cookies. Between the event, some Songs and Poem Recitation were performed to get everyone excited.

Last Sunday was the moon at its brightest on Toronto. And it's also the day for Lantern Festival here. By which MASAT had organized its annual BBQ and Lantern Festival. The gathering, which attracts more than 100 members was a phenomenal. Almost every first year students turned up, where seniors and juniors get to know each other. Even some York University and Ryerson University commuted here, at UofT St. George for such a great event.
Event started with registration, and the claiming of our very first MASAT polo t-shirt.Then, everyone enjoyed the grilled foods and beverages. Maybe someone felt that there wasn't any Malaysian cuisine. But, hear this. Our President, Eu Jin had promised that this will be the only event whereby there's no Malaysian cuisine. So, look forward for the next event. We'll provide some tasty and delicious delicacy.
Later that afternoon, we had a short speech from all MASAT Committee. After some mini-frisbee, it's time for the mooncake which is very tasty. Finally, when it's quite dark, everyone get the chance to play lantern. Colorful lantern lights up the UTSU lawn, marking the end of the event.

Yupp, the title says it all. It has been a great day for 10 of us MASAT members, where we get to meet with the wife of our Prime Minister, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. Though her visit here to Canada is intended for another business, we were very glad that she spare her valuable time to meet with us students.
The meeting or small discussion was held at the Four Seasons Hotel, Toronto. The High Commissioner of Malaysia, Dato' Hayati and her affiliates came down from Ottawa to greet and meet Datin Seri. Alongside them, two MATRADE officer which is based in Toronto joined the gathering.
The discussion went smoothly. We talked about lots of things. Datin Seri told us that we as sponsored students must study hard and served the country after graduating. She also urged us to make connections with other international students, which in turn will promote Malaysian culture indirectly.

And so yesterday mark the 1st day of Syawal in the Hijri calendar, which means just one thing; Eid-ul Fitr which is the biggest celebration in Malaysia (though not in Canada) is happening. After a month of fasting, now the Muslim are celebrating their 'victory' starting from yesterday.
So, I on behalf of all MASAT committee would like to wish Eid Mubarak to all Muslim members of MASAT and Muslims around the world. Have a happy and joyous Eid.

AUGUST 19 - Last Friday night, the MASAT Iftar event was successfully held on Multifaith Center, UofT. Everything went well, except the Tarawikh prayer wasn't done there as everyone went home early that night.
On behalf of MASAT, I would like to gratitude CMA (Canada Malay Association) for organizing this event as well as MATRADE who sponsored it. A great thanks too, to both Malaysia Kitchen and Zabiha Halal who provided the delicious food.
I hope that such events will be held again in the future not only as to celebrate the Ramadhan, but to have a meet together with our fellow friends and families from Malaysia.
Here are some pictures. The rest of the pictures can be seen on the GALLERY section.
