1. Introduction

Malaysian Students’ Association in Japan (MSAJ)

Malaysian Students’ Association in Japan (MSAJ) was established in the year 1976, with the objectives

of its formation are to unite and take care the welfare of Malaysian students in this country. This

association is open to all Malaysian students who are studying or taking courses for more than SIX

months. MSAJ is consists of 5 Divisions; Kanto, Kansai, Tohoku, Hokuriku and Kyuma (Kyusyu). As our

name explained, the association is managed and organized ONLY by students studying in Japan, mostly

on voluntarily basis.

Events and activities

Every   year,   MSAJ   organized   many   events   and   activities   all   year   round.   The   fiscal   year   started   with  

spring,     and     the     activities     are     supporting     the     orientation     of     new     JPA     students     in    March,     Hanami  

(cherry-­‐blossom  viewing)  in  April,  and  Career  Fair  in  May  (  except  2011  ).      

We   also   take   part   in   ASEAN   Festival,   usually   in   June   or   July,  

organized     by     ASEAN     Youth     Network     in     Japan     (AYNJ),     a  

network   among     ASEAN   student     associations     in   Japan.   In  

summer,   we   will   have   Mount   Fuji   Climb   and   Independence  

Day  celebration.            

Sports   are   very   popular   in   autumn   and   that   is   when   we  

organize     MSAJ     Sports     Festival     and     participate     in     AYNJ  

Sports  Festival.  We  usually  held  a  Malaysian  Night  in  winter,  a  

night   where   we   invite   Malaysian   students   to   gather   before  

ending  our  fiscal  year.
