Salam sejahtera everyone,
Masat Graduation Dinner is an on going tradition of where graduating members are celebrated of their achievements and accomplishment in completing their studies at UofT. This year, the dinner was held at the MultiFaith Center at UofT with a special menu catered by Affy's Premium Grill. A total of 14 grad made it to the dinner with the special appearance of Zakkeeyyah Zainoddin's parents.
It seemed like the attendees enjoyed the 3 meal course served personally by us, the committee member. The mood of the evening was then taken deep into the blue by the short video made by the Media Department. It sure did shed tears. But in the end of the day, everyone enjoyed the dinner and realized how much they have gone through in this chapter of their life. Here are some of the photos and the video for the grad.

Hello our dearest followers!
Last weekend, we organised the Games Day in collaboration with the previous Execs (2014/15) as the first event so that we can bond together as well as learn on managing an event. Being the fresh Execs, we learned a lot on that day and understand that it was not as easy as it may seem on event management. The Games Day was also our first collaboration with the UofT Board Games Club so that we have variety of board games to play. Also, we have variety of video games console such as PlayStation 4, Nintendo Wii and the classic Jeopardy game. Not to forget, we had MasterChef too where contestants had to prepare a dish of Canadian and Malaysian food fusion.
That's all for now! Till next time... Have a nice day!

Every year, members of the committee gathers by for the biggest meeting of the year that is the Annual General Meeting, where the financial report being presented, and the highlights of every events of the year. Also, on this meeting, the voting of the new Executive Members takes place. This year, the Election Commission was lead by Anas Faris and assisted by Ahmad Zahir, Muzakkir Mohamed and Fathuddin Romeli. The Election Commission refined the last year's method of election that is the online voting with the addition of secured website where members could nominate candidates, as well as read their manifestos online and ask the candidates questions on the website itself. This shows how far we have improve since the first AGM where the members voted using the count of hands.
Here are some of the photos from the event!

On the 27th of February 2015, MASAT, in collaboration with the Malaysian Singaporean Student Association(MSSA) and Singaporean Malaysian Student Association (SMSA) of UofT Missisauga organized a Chinese New Year dinner to usher the Year of the Goat.
The event was held once again at Dim Sum King, downtown Toronto. We were also honoured to have Pn. Noor Marlina, Education Attaché from Education Malaysia Chicago during the event. It was a 10 course meal attended by about 120 people, mostly members from the three associations. The event kick-started with the tossing of Yee Sang (or Yusheng) as a symbol of abundance and prosperity for the year, and ended with lucky draws.

First of all, we would like to thank Malaysian Students’ Association at University of Toronto (MASAT) student body for entrusting the committee with navigating the directions for Malaysian Bazaar 2015; Our sponsors, of which without your generous contributions it would be very difficult for us to run this event; MBazaar15 dedicated and energetic team of organizing committee, some of which have overworked themselves with event-planning workload equivalent to taking an extra university course or two; Our student volunteers, of whom their drive to be involved in this community is something that we should admire; and the dearest guests, who made Malaysian Bazaar 2015 all the more merrier and colourful. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You.

On the 25th of October, MASAT organized a Diwali brunch get together. Diwali, also known as Deepavali, or the festival of lights is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn. It is a celebration of light’s triumph over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and hope over despair. There are many preparation and rituals related to the festival but we celebrated it the way most Malaysians celebrate any events; good food and even better companies.
On Saturday, October 18, 2014, the TalentCorp Students MY team visited UofT to engage with the Malaysian student population here in the University. The last time TalentCorp visited UofT was back in 2012, and we were thrilled when they gracefully agreed to drop by UofT once again.
This time around, in addition to the regular networking dinner, the TalentCorp team had two other events - the Mock Interview and Dragon's Den. The Mock Interview was a platform for interested students to polish their resumés and interview skills by being placed in interview mode by the TalentCorp team. The Dragon's Den was an opportunity for students to pitch for projects that will benefit them and the community professionally, where successful projects will be funded by TalentCorp all the way till its execution.
We had two participants each for both the Mock Interview and Dragon's Den, and approximately 45 attendees filling up MP103 to listen to the presentation from TalentCorp's Ms. Yazmin Azman. The two-hour presentation felt rather short, mainly attributed to Ms. Yazmin's unique way of engaging with the audience. Many attendees, when asked after the session, felt that the session was very beneficial and corrected their perceptions and understanding of TalentCorp and what they do.
Of course, an event is considered un-Malaysian if it is missing one important thing - you guessed it - food. Due to the generosity of TalentCorp and Uncle Howard of Restoran Malaysia, attendees were served with authentic Malaysian food such as Nasi Goreng, Mee Goreng, Rendang Ayam, Sambal Ikan, Kerabu Timun, and not forgetting Air Sirap. There was so much food that President Fathuddin had to send out an announcement asking Malaysians within the vicinity to come with their food containers to tapau the leftovers.
MASAT expresses their utmost gratitude to Ms. Yazmin and Ms. Amirah of TalentCorp for their visit to UofT, and we hope to host them again next year.
